Impact of M777 Howitzer Usage on Unscheduled Maintenance Requirements

Abstract

Howitzers are essential to combined arms warfare since they allow commanders to engage enemy targets from greater distances while sending projectiles on high-angle trajectories over friendly forces and terrain features. The M777A2 howitzer is used by the U.S. Army and Marine Corps for frontline operations where untimely failures can have immediate consequences. To safeguard against such failures, testing is performed to establish predictable maintenance requirements that can be synchronized with operations' planning.
