The Excalibur Precision 155mm Projectiles program is a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) managed under the Major Capability Acquisition pathway. Designated as an Acquisition Category IC program, Excalibur delivers precision-guided 155mm artillery projectiles to Department of Defense forces. The program focuses on developing and maintaining advanced munitions technology, including guidance navigation units, survivability improvements, and compatibility with various weapon systems such as the Mk 51 gun weapon system.
The program's contract awards from 2004-2024 primarily consist of engineering services and technical support delivered through cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery orders ranging from $374,000 to $10 million, with periods of performance typically spanning 1-3 years. Raytheon Company, particularly through its Missile Systems/Missile Division, serves as the primary contractor, with Spectra Technologies LLC identified as a key subcontractor for warhead-related work. The majority of contracts are awarded through the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command at Picatinny Arsenal, with no set-aside designations applied. Contract work includes guidance system reliability improvements, warhead safety validation, degraded GPS environment testing, and root cause analysis of technical issues. Notable places of performance include Tucson, Arizona, though many contract documents do not specify location.
