Extended Range Cannon Artillery (ERCA) Adv Tech

Abstract

This Project directly supports Long Range Precision Fires Modernization Priority capabilities. This effort matures and demonstrates artillery technologies including light weight cannon and mount structures, high efficiency recoil cylinders, common lower power fire control hardware, improved fire control software, and improved sensor to shooter communications which will increase range and accuracy without an increase in platform weight. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. All FY 2020 adjustments align program financial structure to Army Modernization Priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the U.S. Army Futures Command (AFC).
