Artillery remains the undisputed “King of Battle,” dominating modern conflicts where nations face near-peer adversaries. Enter the M777, a 155mm lightweight towed artillery system engineered for mobile rapid reaction forces. It delivers firepower with the agility and logistical ease once reserved for smaller 105mm caliber systems.
Whether on offense or defense, the sheer impact of artillery is unmatched, and the M777 continues to be a game-changer on the battlefield.
Combat-tested reliability
The M777 sets the global standard as the only combat-proven lightweight 155mm howitzer, trusted by the armed forces of the United States, Canada, Australia, India, and Europe, with over 1,250 units in active service.
Weighing just 4,218 kg (9,299 lbs), it is a revolutionary achievement as the first 155mm howitzer under 10,000 lbs. Its unparalleled tactical and strategic mobility ensures it can be rapidly deployed by land, sea, or air to dominate over vast distances, regardless of challenging terrain or obstacles.
Breaking free from traditional artillery design, the M777 empowers operational commanders with unmatched flexibility to swiftly reposition fire units, adapting to unpredictable battlefield dynamics. Equipped with advanced digital fire control, soldiers and marines can quickly aim, fire precise strikes, and reposition with ease. This rapid responsiveness not only enhances survivability but also optimizes ammunition usage and reduces logistical burdens.
The M777 delivers power, precision, and adaptability for mission-critical superiority.
