The U.S. Army is devoting fresh energy to developing the new 155mm mobile howitzer to address current mobility, weight and lethality deficiencies of currently tracked artillery systems.
According to a U.S. government’s main contracting website notice issued earlier this month, the Army is seeking information from industry to support the Government’s interest in exploring Next Generation Howitzer technologies.
“The Next Generation Howitzer is intended to be a more mobile and survivable 155mm system with a greater firing range and greater volume of fire than current howitzer systems,” the Jan. 7 notice reads.
