Self-Propelled Howitzer Modernization
The SPH-M is an unmanned, fully automated, remote-controlled 155mm gun module integrated onto a proven 10×10 heavy mission carrier. SPH-M brings decisive artillery lethality at decisive strategic ranges to the tactical maneuver formations and the Division unit of focus.
Lethality
- Superior range and area coverage provided by a 155mm L52 cannon
- Firing rate: >8 rounds per minute
- 30 rounds ready to fire (with charges)
- 360-degree firing capability
Mobility
- Max speed 100 kmh
- Range (on improved roads) ~750 km
- 2.0m ditch-crossing width
- 1.5m fording depth
- 60% slope capability
Survivability
- Under-armor operation
- Unmanned turret
- Shoot-and-scoot capability
- Fire-on-the-move performance
Mission
- Direct-line-of-sight fire missions up to 1.8 km
- Indirect-fire missions up to 54 km (ammunition-dependent)
- Shoot-and-scoot capability = stop, fire nine rounds, resume movement in less than one minute
- Provides the same or better indirect fire coverage than current tracked SPH systems, with fewer Soldiers and in less time
