PIM Improvement Program
Abstract
The current Paladin Integrated Management (PIM) is an ACAT1C Acquisition program. The PIM improvement program is intended to address the current Howitzer capability gap based on a capability needs assessment performed by the user community to restore indirect fires support overmatch to the US Army. This effort will evaluate developing technologies to determine which configuration will add optimal value to the Army. This effort may include but is not limited to the integration of a new cannon, gun mount, gun drive systems, fire control systems and autoloader into the M109A7 Howitzer. Analysis will be required to evaluate the impact of the new cannon technology on current platform chassis, cab, suspension, mobility, and electronic architecture. This evaluation will be the foundation to inform the level of effort needed to integrate this capability into the current SPHS.
