The M109A7 Paladin, the most recent variant of America's venerable M109 series, marks a thorough modernising of this battle-proven platform. With conventional ammo and beyond 60 km with rocket-assisted missiles, the Paladin can reach ranges up to 40 kilometres with a 155mm cannon with automatic loading aid. While lowering maintenance needs, the new electric drive system increases dependability. Network connectivity and advanced digital fire control technologies make the Paladin the pillar of U.S. artillery capability.
