How many smart AT packages have we fielded for the arty systems?
None, other than Copperhead, which has a mixed record. We have tested
some, and gotten to the almost-ready-to-field stage, but not actually
fielded them.

Not true. The Army fielded and used the SADARM artillery-fired AT
submunitions in Iraq last year. The 3ID(M) After Action report says

they
fired over 120 rounds with 48 targets killed.


Thanks; I had thought that program was axed a couple of years back.


It was, but there was still a quantity of LRIP rounds in stock, so
they were sent out to see how they fared.


Yeah, that agrees with what I have found on the web thus far. Thanks for the
update.
