This is a Soltam 155mm 52 cal towed howitzer with an APU for short movements and opening the trails. The APU can move the gun or power the mechanisms. The weapon cannot be double-loaded, and loading is assisted by a power rammer. The elevation and traverse may be done by hand, by a battery, or by the APU. The gun may be lifted off its travel wheels by a battery or the APU. The weapon is otherwise conventional, though a GPS system and firing computer is fitted, as well as a telescopic sight for direct firing (+1). A version of this weapon, using a 52-caliber barrel (as opposed to the 45-caliber barrel shown here) is used on the Slammer self-propelled howitzer. |
