    One of the first technologies born of the push for more accurate artillery in the past 20 years was the Precision Guidance Kit (PGK), a screw-on fuze that transforms a conventional artillery round into a guided near precision projectile accurate to approximately 150 feet of a target. U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) in Arizona tested PGK extensively throughout its development and continues to do so today. One such example of current evaluations is lot acceptance testing, the testing of a sample of newly produced munitions to ensure reliability and effectiveness.
