They were more missles than conventional rounds. GPS loaded on the fly, first round would take a long “rainbow” path and the last would be more of a “rifle shot” = no target hardening. System worked and was through OT, AFAIK but was just too expensive. I moved on after LRIP.I used to do that to my brother in snowball fights. Lob a couple high ones from behind cover, then stand up and throw some fastballs. The idea was that he'd leave cover to return fire, and get hit by the slow, high ones. Never really worked that well, but maybe I should've patented the idea. :-)
Heh. That's kind of a time on target (TOT) artillery attack, just with all the TOT ordnance coming from a single source point. You were a cannon cocker artilleryman back then and didn't even know it. ;-)
