Centauro 155/39 LW

The Centauro 155/39 LW is a self-propelled howitzer (SPH) featuring high mobility thanks to its 8x8 chassis, rapid deployability, elevated agility and high survivability. The wheeled chassis also provides lower operating and maintenance costs compared with tracked chassis self-propelled howitzers. Its primary armament is a lightweight 155mm 39-caliber cannon equipped with an automatic loading system for both projectiles and propelling charges. The cannon can fire both all NATO standard ammunition and VULCANO guided ammunition. The Centauro SPH requires less than 3 minutes to be deployed and be ready to fire and one minute to leave the scene after the intervention. This weapon system is fully digitized with Network Centric Warfare (NCW) capabilities and is well suited for operations within asymmetric warfare. For self-defense purposes, it can be fitted with a roof-mounted remote weapon station. IVECO Defense Vehicles unveiled the Centauro 155/39 LW weapon system during the Eurosatory 2012 exhibition in Paris, France.
