Archer

The modern battlefield is characterised by a multitude of threats and challenges. In order to improve survivability, combat units must be able to cooperate effectively. Archer represents the next generation of wheeled artillery systems, built to keep up with fast-moving ground forces.

Archer Mobile Howitzer 6x6 is based on the successful Bofors FH77 field howitzer, consisting of an automated 155 mm 52-calibre gun mounted on an 6x6 articulated hauler. Striking the perfect balance between power and mobility by featuring long range precision, fast deployment time and a protected environment for the crew.

Archer is a fully automated, self-propelled 155 mm howitzer designed for rapid deployment, with a firing range in excess of 50 km. Loading, laying and firing is handled from inside the armoured cabin, offering full protection at all times. With less than 20 seconds in and out of action for a crew of three or four, the Archer artillery system provides powerful and swift support – for every move.
