M777
M777 is a 155mm 39 calibre towed gun which, through proven technology and the innovative use of titanium and aluminium alloys, meets the requirement for rapidly deployable and accurate artillery fire support.
M777 is the world's first 155mm Howitzer weighing less than 10000 lbs (4218 kg). Selected by the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Army as their next generation Medium Force weapon, designated M777, the gun has undergone an engineering and manufacturing development program in the U.S leading to an initial contract for 94 guns in November 2002. Further U.S. requirement will bring production to over 700 systems. M777 is now in full rate production for the U.S. Armed Forces and is the benchmark for 155mm Lightweight Towed Artillery Systems.
Highly mobile on land, at sea and in the air, the M777 has increased survivability through:
- Unsurpassed tactical & strategic mobility
- Low thermal & radar signature
- Rapid emplacement / displacement
- Low silhouette
