The Navy seemed dissatisfied with the performance of the original proximity fuzed BAE/Bofors 3P 57mmMk295 rounds for the Mk110 gun, which comes with two ready use 20 round magazines, then came the DARPA Raytheon Mad-Fires round and followed by the Navy L3Harris ALaMO anti-swarm round (the ALaMO was only for boghammars with a max effective range in the Mk110 of 10km/5.4nm) both rounds added guidance to minimize effects of dispersion to increase hit probability as the range increases and they both seem to have disappeared into limbo land. In Oct. '23 the Navy awarded a new development contract to Northrup Grumman for a self-guided round, effective for use against both AA for drones and surface anti-swarm Iranian boghammars.
