Description
The XM777 Joint Lightweight 155mm 39 calibers (LW155) howitzer has been designed to replace current M198 towed howitzers. The US Army will use the XM777 for general support purposes within light forces, while the USMC will use this weapon for direct support replacing all existing cannon types within the Corps. The XM777 incorporates innovate designs to achieve the lightweight goal, without sacrificing the range, stability, accuracy or durability of the planned system. It will provide excellent tactical mobility, deployment capability and survivability. Excalibur 155mm artillery projectiles will provide extended range and improved accuracy.
