Mobile 155MM Howitzer
Abstract
Project HB6 supports the mobile howitzer program. The Mobile 155 millimeter (mm) Howitzer is a Self-Propelled, 155mm Wheeled Howitzer that provides lethal, proactive counter-fire essential for the survivability of the maneuver formations and other close support fires as required. The Mobile Howitzer improves the Field Artillery Battalion's ability to maintain pace with its supporting maneuver formations and survive against responsive, counter-fire from near-peer threats with rapid displacement and emplacement times. The mobile howitzer will improve tactical mobility and system survivability compared to existing towed howitzer systems. Development efforts, prototyping and evaluations will focus on attributes such as improved emplacement and displacement times, driving speed, and crew protection capabilities, all without sacrificing lethality versus existing and future towed howitzer systems.
