Description
Description | The U.S. Army plans to resume development of a hypervelocity cannon-based air defense system, transitioning the program from the Navy and the Pentagon's Strategic Capabilities Office to the Army. The project involves integrating a 155 mm self-propelled howitzer with advanced hypervelocity munitions, with ongoing assessments of components such as the cannon, radar, battle management systems, resupply solutions, and projectiles. The Army is finalizing operational requirements and exploring contractual options, including competitive bidding and sole-source awards. The program's relaunch depends on the approval of the Fiscal Year 2026 defense budget, aiming to deploy the first operational battery by 2029. |
