Military Weapons The World Didn’t Think Were Possible
Advanced Gun System (AGS)
In this photo, you see the test firing of an Advanced Gun System (AGS). The AGS is a naval artillery system meant to provide gunfire support for shore-based targets at long distances. Bound by a turret, each AGS is equipped with a 155-mm gun that uses ammunition specifically designed for the system.
BAE Systems Armaments Systems developed AGS for Zumwalt-class destroyers, which are stealth ships that focus on land attacks. The U.S. Navy has three of these destroyers, and each is equipped with two AGS systems.
