Picatinny advances M777 extended-range howitzer

摘要

Picatinny Arsenal engineers are progressing work with their M777 extended-range (ER) howitzer, based on the 155 mm M777 towed artillery system, and expect to soon test the weapon with new ammunition. Test firings in November 2016 helped advance the programme that officials hope can "create an M777 howitzer that can fire out to over 70 km", Picatinny Arsenal said in a 27 February statement.
