That type of weapon doesn't make a lot of sense. At those ranges, the projectile needs guidance to compensate for the various conditions.
In fact, for that range I would think the projectile would almost have to go high enough to approach the lower limits of space. Why not use a missile?
Maybe they could use it like the M712 Copperhead, 'cept bigger?
I had thought that they had artillery rounds that were “guided” somewhat
Maybe it’s an adaptation of that
