Extended Range Cannon Artillery (ERCA) Adv Tech

Abstract

This Project directly supports Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF) Modernization Priority capabilities. This Project 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. This Project also develops a collaborative environment with analytic capabilities to support Fires and Intel Soldiers. The cited research is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Research in this Project is performed by the United States Army Futures Command (AFC).
