FH 77 B05 L52
The FH 77B05 L52 is a further development of the successful
FH 77B02 L39 howitzer system. The system meets or supersedes
all requirements for a modern, towed artillery system,
which is made possible through a number of improvements.
The longer barrel
and larger chamber volume result in extended
firing range of more than 40 km and enable firing of the next generation
smart ammunition.
Onboard
ballistic computer enabling calculating firing data, automatic laying
and firing control, automatic input of ammunition data and
meteorological data.
The FH 77B05 L52
has its own land navigation system,
eliminating the need for surveying and alignment giving
the complete system a very low LCC.
