M198 Towed Howitzer Product Improvement Program (PIP) Overview

Abstract

An M198 Fielded System Review was completed September 1984. This review constituted a baseline for the development of the M198 Product Improvement Program (PIP). The areas being revised were a result of user concerns. Approval for the production and incorporation of the M198 PIP was granted by the AMCCOM Configuration Control Board on 8 September 1988. Fielding of the first production PIP kits are to begin August 1991. The purpose of the project is to provide an overview of the improvements being incorporated on the M198 Howitzers and the rationale for the selection of those solutions.
