Why is PGK so necessary in modern warfare?

The PGK is set by the Enhanced Portable Inductive Artillery Fuze Setter (EPIAFS). PGK is a guidance kit that replaces the standard HE burster fuze. It will compensate for probable error in range (PEr) and PE in deflection (PEd).
Without PGK, the CEP for conventional projectiles is a function of range. A high-explosive rocket assisted (HERA) projectile fired at 30 kilometers has a 260-meter CEP. Rounds fired at shorter ranges usually have a CEP of 50 meters or less. PGK rounds fired at the mid-to-max ranges will be as accurate at 30 kilometers as rounds without PGK are when fired at five and 10 kilometers. CEP with PGK is no longer a function of range. In essence, PGK will shrink the miss distance, improve accuracy and result in better overall effectiveness and efficiency. It will ensure rounds impact on a target within their lethal radius, making conventional cannon artillery accurate at all ranges. The PGK program has three increments. The two follow-on increments will provide additional capabilities.
