As a key capability in the US Army’s Armored Brigade Combat Team formation, the M109A7 Paladin (above) provides advanced firepower and manoeuvrability, enabling artillery units to rapidly deploy and engage targets with precision.
With its 'scoot-and-shoot' capability, the M109A7 can deliver precise fires in under 30 seconds when emplaced or within a minute while on the move, ensuring both survivability and effectiveness in high-threat environments.
Dan Furber, Combat Mission Systems vice president of Artillery programs, said: “The M109A7 Paladin is a battle-proven platform that delivers what Soldiers need to succeed on today’s battlefield.
“With its reliable performance and robust industrial base, the Paladin ensures our troops have the firepower and support they can count on when it matters most.”
Equipped with an adaptable chassis and next-generation capabilities, the M109A7 is one of the lightest tracked self-propelled howitzer systems on the battlefield, engineered to perform in even the most challenging terrains and conditions.
