Currently, experts at Picatinny Arsenal have partnered to deliver new technologies that can extend the range of cannon artillery.
Known as the US Army’s Center of Excellence for Guns and Ammunition, and the Army Rapid Capabilities Office (RCO), Picatinny Arsenal is the service’s acquisition shop that helps rapidly address critical capability gaps.
The long-range cannon project focuses on evaluating capability by quickly prototyping and equipping an artillery battery with the M777 Extended Range howitzer, a new projectile tracking system, survey device and rocket-assisted projectile in less than three years.
If the project is successful, the long-range cannon will almost double the range of cannon artillery for the US Army and the US Marine Corps.
