"BAE Systems Reignites M777 Howitzer Production Amid Rising Demand"

BAE Systems has secured a contract, initially worth $50 million, to build structures for the M777 lightweight howitzer for the U.S. Army, potentially leading to the restart of the weapon's production line. The M777 has been crucial in the conflict in Ukraine, with the U.S. providing nearly 200 units. BAE will reestablish its supply chain in the U.K. and the U.S., aiming to deliver the first structures by 2025. The M777 is currently in service with several countries, and the new contract offers an opportunity for economies of scale for new and existing users. The U.S. Army is also developing a new artillery strategy to incorporate new technologies and enhance battlefield capabilities.
