BAE Systems has been awarded a contract to build the first 155mm Advanced Gun System (AGS) for the first two destroyer ships built in the DDG 1000 class. In order to properly measure the positioning accuracy of the AGS, BAE Systems has chosen to use the FARO Laser Tracker. What would have taken several people and days using traditional methods can now be completed with two people in just hours.
