Archer from Sweden offers a novel way to mobile artillery. Built on a modified Volvo A30D articulated hauler chassis, this system can deploy and fire thirty seconds after halting. With a maximum range of 50 km using conventional ammunition, the totally automated 155mm gun system can fire up to 20 rounds in under 2.5 minutes. The Archer's unusual ability to fire, scoot, and reload without the crew exiting the armoured cabin greatly increases survivability in contemporary combat situations.
