"Study Reveals Need for Increased Range, Mobility, and Autonomy in Army Artillery"

The U.S. Army's conventional fires study recommends focusing on more autonomous artillery systems with improved range and mobility, incorporating robotics, enhancing artillery rounds, and pursuing mobile howitzer options. The study has led to the cancellation of the Extended Range Cannon Artillery system in favor of extending the range of current artillery systems with innovative munitions. The Army is also exploring autonomous and robotic cannon solutions for joint forcible entry formations and pursuing mobile, indirect fires capabilities for light infantry and Stryker formations.
