Overview

Undersling deployment of M777 Howitzer

Historical information

The M777 replaced the L119 105mm light gun and the M198 155mm medium gun in Royal Australian Artillery units. This equipment has a much higher level of digital connectivity which allows rapid, safe and accurate application of effects across the battlespace to support ground forces through offensive and defensive fires with conventional and precision-guided projectiles. It can also employ illuminating and smoke projectiles. The M777 is towed behind the Mack gun tractor and the Mack replacement. It can also be lifted by the Army CH-47 Chinook helicopter and carried in the Air Force C-17A Globemaster III and C-130J Hercules aircraft. The M777 is deployable by Navy watercraft and amphibious vessels.
