The Course Correcting Fuze (CCF) is a revolutionary innovation developed by BAE Systems to dramatically improve the effectiveness of today's cannon artillery. CCF is a Precision Guidance Kit (PGK) that can be employed on existing U.S. 155-mm and 105-mm projectiles to make them at least three times more accurate.

The BAE Systems CCF is a cost-effective, low-risk solution for improving the effectiveness of cannon projectiles and meeting the needs of the U.S. Army's PGK program for U.S. artillery ammunition.

As evidenced in Iraq and Afghanistan, soldiers and Marines expect accurate and responsive cannon artillery support when going into combat. The BAE Systems CCF uses GPS and proven flight control technology to provide near-precision accuracy that is critical in all combat environments, and is ideal in urban conflicts to minimize collateral damage.

In June 2006, BAE Systems was selected by the U.S. Army's Project Manager, Combat Ammunition Systems to participate in a competitive technology demonstration program for the PGK. Leveraging its cannon development expertise, BAE Systems has tested more than 100 CCF fuzes in laboratory and gun-fired environments and was the first in industry or government to successfully demonstrate a two-directional CCF prototype in a gun-fired environment at Yuma Proving Ground in June 2005. These successful demonstrations prove that BAE Systems can rapidly meet the Army's needs for a PGK solution.
