History
The M109A7 Paladin is the most advanced variant of the long-serving M109 self-propelled howitzer. Developed to improve battlefield survivability and digital integration, the A7 features a brand-new chassis, electric gun drives, and a modern fire control system. It retains the powerful 155mm howitzer capable of delivering devastating fire support with high precision. First deployed in the 2010s, the M109A7 continues to serve as a critical asset in the US Army’s artillery forces, bridging the gap between traditional indirect fire systems and future-ready capabilities.
