    The document discusses the 5-inch cargo projectile program. It provides an overview of the program's operating environment, system requirements, projectile design, qualification program, submunition performance, production program, and improvements program. Key points include that the program aims to provide 5-inch cargo rounds to the fleet that can travel 13 nautical miles or more, achieve precision fire accuracy of 333 meters or less out to 80% of maximum range, and survive naval surface fire support conditions while improving anti-surface warfare effectiveness through carrying multiple payloads.
