cannon-launched guided projectile

{{Short description|Precision-guided artillery munition}}

Cannon-launched guided projectiles (CLGP) are precision-guided munitions launched by howitzers, mortars, tank guns, and naval guns. Those projectile main propulsion system is the initial kinetic shoot, directed as much as possible toward the target. A secondary GPS or geocoordinates-based system then corrects the trajectory to increase target accuracy and fall closer to the target.{{citation needed|date=March 2023}}{{how|reason=how does it correct the trajectory, its a shell?|date=March 2023}} This system relies on electronic guidance and pre-programmed coordinates, submitted to the round before its launch.{{citation needed|date=March 2023}}
