Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS)

Issue: 05-2018

Marine Corps’ F/A-18 Super Hornet squadrons have fired the APKWS during recent training. The low-cost 2.75 rocket utilises a laser guidance kit that gives it a precision-kill capability and allows the Super Hornet pilots to maintain a forward-firing, moving-target capability while increasing available ordnance per aircraft and provides a more efficient weapons match versus target sets currently seen in theater. The F/A-18 is the second Navy fixed-wing platform to carry APKWS. It is also employed from the AV- 8B as well as rotary-wing platforms including the UH-1Y, AH-1Z and MH-60S/R. The Navy and USMC have fired thousands of combined fixed- and rotary-wing shots and hundreds in combat scenarios.
