Rheinmetall will supply the United States with light artillery guns
The German concern Rheinmetall is making a decisive contribution to the project of light artillery guns of the United States Army.
This is stated in the message of Rheinmetall.
A subsidiary of American Rheinmetall Munition has received a $ 2.5 million contract from the US military to supply a shorter and lighter artillery system.
The light artillery gun will increase the mobility, maneuverability and lethality of army artillery systems, as well as provide the ability to fire at long range, which the army is looking for for the entire fleet of howitzers.
Colonel Lance Green, Deputy Military Command and Armament Center of the Combat Capabilities Development Center (DEVCOM AC), said: "This DEVCOM AC project, along with many other active efforts in science and technology, can give our fighters a clear advantage."
According to John Romic, CEO of American Rheinmetall Munition, the new guns will change the rules in artillery warfare.
"We are proud to be able to support the Army in its efforts to develop next-generation long-range firearms technology and, in particular, to prototype advanced light howitzer technologies that can change the rules of the game," said John Somic.
American Rheinmetall Munition is now expanding its role as a major supplier of innovative weapons and next-generation ammunition to the United States.
The company relies on a global portfolio of world-class ammunition and weapons offered by Rheinmetall and its subsidiaries.
For decades, the company has been manufacturing and supplying high-performance training munitions and direct-fire munitions for the US military.
This new artillery prototype contract is another opportunity to demonstrate American Rheinmetall Munition's commitment to be a vital partner for the military and to deliver next-generation technology.
American Rheinmetall Munition is part of the American Rheinmetall group of American Rheinmetall Systems, which includes American Rheinmetall Systems, American Rheinmetall Vehicles, and the American parent company American Rheinmetall Defense in Reston, Virginia.
