Do I understand the implications of this correctly?
These are GPS guided munitions with a range of 48 km?
So...if I am a Special Forces guy with a high value target in a house, I can phone in GPS coordinates and get an artillery strike instead of waiting for an aircraft to arrive on station?

Yep, the Navy has a 5" rocket assisted munition with 90 mile range and GPS terminal guidance. Just call in the coordinates and sit back and wait for a HE express delivery. Ain't technology great?
