Land 17 artillery replacement
This programme is examining new systems with a view to replacement of all 155 mm M198 medium guns and 105 mm L119 and M2A2 field guns as well as the adoption of an integrated digital fire control network structure.[1] The project has $AUD 1.5 billion dollars allocated for the purchase of new guns, through life support and maintenance, replacement infrastructure, retraining of personnel and provision of simulation and training systems and joint fires command and control. However, Land 17 does not allow for the purchase of new guns in sufficient quantity to re-equip the Army Reserve. Contenders for Land 17 gun replacement are:
SP Guns:
Towed Gun Replacement:
- PzH 2000 155 mm SP Gun (Germany).
- K9 Thunder 155 mm SP Gun (South Korea).
- G6 155 mm SP Gun (South Africa).
- Bofors ARCHER 155 mm SP Gun (Sweden).
from the SP choices above which gun would be best?
i personally like the idea of the archer system.
