ROKETSAN shared a video of the qualification tests on social media platform X. The 155 mm rounds fitted with MDK were fired from a T-155 FIRTINA self-propelled gun. Three rounds set to proximity fuse mode detonated mid-air successfully.
MDK’s primary function is to correct existing artillery shells using four airbrakes that constantly shift to compensate for disturbances. Air braking reduces CEP to below 50 meters. The guidance system is programmed before firing and continues to receive data from the firing platform for secondary corrections.
MDK provides four modes of fuse: impact, delayed, time, and proximity. The kit is installed the same way as conventional artillery fuses, making the integration quick.
The kit can be additionally used on 105 mm shells used by lightweight artillery systems such as MKE’s BORAN.
Usage of a correction kit, while less precise than purpose-built guided rounds, is known for cost efficiency and ease of integration. This significantly reduces the number of shells that can be fired to destroy the target, thanks to higher chances of hitting.
