The project appears to have been zeroed in the 2008 Army budget request. I've gone through and made the necessary changes. Banality 18:26, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Where did the CEP come from? LBT sez:
http://www.lexingtoninstitute.org/low-cost-precision-weapon-will-save-millions-of-dollars-while-minimizing-collateral-damage?a=1&c=1171 Once that split-second sequence unfolds, each Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System has an 80% probability of hitting within two yards of the illumination's center at ranges up to three miles.
So clearly more than one meter. Hcobb ( talk) 23:40, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
Hcobb added the following
I am removing it as the reference does not support these platforms as intended operational service aircraft carrying the APKWS. These are platforms that were selected by the US Air Force and Navy to demonstrate capability of the rocket for fire from fast-moving fixed wing aircraft, but that's it. The reference article does not discuss intentions for operational service capability. -- OuroborosCobra ( talk) 15:02, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
http://www.defensemedianetwork.com/stories/development-continues-on-advanced-precision-kill-weapon-system-apkws-ii-for-fixed-wing-jet-aircraft-uavs/ The USMC intends to fit these rockets on its F-18A-D fighters, but this is not yet a part of the ongoing JCTD. This effort will take place after the JCTD. BAE Systems says that integration is planned for several other platforms, including the AH-1Z Viper, AH-64A/D Apache, MH-60, SH-60R, OH-58D, AH-6 and the F-16 fighter as well as the M260/261 and LAU68/61 launchers.
Dave, what's the opinions issue here? Did one of the sources have some sort of opinion like say "this aircraft would be nice platform for this weapon" or something? AFAIK, this is simply matters of fact as in these are the platforms being used for testing vs. these are the platforms planned to be used in the future. Hcobb ( talk) 21:27, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

The article says in one spot “ A software upgrade of the APKWS will be applied starting in late 2021”. Well, this is 2023. Should this be changed to “was scheduled to be applied,” without confirming that it was? It should not state permanently that something will happen in the future, pointing to a date in the past. Unencyclopedic. Does anyone know of a reference showing whether the goal was achieved? Edison ( talk)<
