Teseo's GPS accuracy expressed in circular error probability (the radius of a circle that represents a 50% probability of a position lying in that circle) is as low as 2 meters.
For example (but this is true of all rockets of the same type), the unguided 70 mm Hydra-70 produced by General Dynamics Armament Systems has a range of up to 6000 metres, but at that distance the circular error probability is over 100 metres, requiring more than 100 rounds to be fired to achieve a direct hit on a vehicular target.
It utilizes an integrated GPS receiver with an uncorrected derived location range from 5-10 meters and 1-5 meter Circular Error Probability relative locations using standard DGPS corrections.
