What Happened

Next-Generation Precision-Guided Artillery Development Advances

Tiberius Aerospace has entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Armaments Center to support the development of its Sceptre precision-guided artillery program. The Sceptre system uses a liquid-fueled ramjet for sustained propulsion and is designed to accelerate beyond Mach 3, reaching altitudes exceeding 65,000 feet and delivering precision effects at ranges of up to 150 kilometers. The CRADA marks an important milestone in the maturation of the Sceptre program, which aims to transform the capabilities of existing artillery inventories without introducing new weapon systems. This development was first reported by European Security & Defence.
