ACAT II Lightweight 155 mm Howitzer System (LW155) PEO Ammunition | Picatinny Arsenal, NJ WARFIGHT<strong>IN</strong>G FUNCTION Mission Command Movement and Maneuver Intelligence Fires Sustainment Maneuver Support and Protection Engagement ACQUISITION LIFECYCLE PHASE Materiel Solution Analysis Technology Maturation & Risk Reduction Engineering & Manufacturing Development Production & Deployment Operations & Support MILESTONE DECISION AUTHORITY Defense Acquisition Executive Army Acquisition Executive Program Executive Officer DESCRIPTION The Lightweight 155 mm Howitzer System (LW155) provides direct, reinforcing and general artillery fire support to maneuver forces. The M777A2 is a towed 155 mm Howitzer jointly developed by the Army and Marine Corps to replace the M198 Howitzer. The extensive use of titanium in all its major structures makes it 7,000 pounds lighter than the M198 with no sacrifice in range, stability, accuracy or durability. The M777A2’s independent suspension, smaller footprint and lower profile increase strategic deployability and tactical mobility. The system uses numerous improvements to enhance reliability and accuracy, and significantly increase system survivability. The system has a Digital Fire Control System (DFCS) that includes an inertial navigation unit with Global Positioning System backup to allow it to self-locate. The DFCS also includes a mission computer, displays and digital communications. Software upgrades incorporating the Enhanced Portable Inductive Artillery Fuse Setter and the Excalibur Platform Integration Kit hardware give the M777A2 the capability to program and fire the Excalibur precision-guided munition. BENEFIT TO THE WARFIGHTER The LW155 offers the warfighter improved survivability, lethality, deployability and mobility to counter threat forces.
