It was recently fired at the Fires Center of Excellence Maneuver Fires Integration Experiment at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. (Army)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was lauded as a more mobile light artillery platform by Capts. Joseph Schmid and Adam Wilson in the May-June issues of \u201cFires,\u201d the professional journal of the artillery community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pair of captains detailed lessons learned from artillery use in their article, <a href=\"http:\/\/sill-www.army.mil\/firesbulletin\/archives\/2018\/may-jun\/may-jun.pdf\" target=_blank>\u201cU.S. artillery on the Korean Peninsula, Then and Now.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor example, we can reasonably assume a brigade will perform large amounts of artillery air assaults to move guns over non-trafficable ridgelines, high peaks and dangerous valleys,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They compared the transport options with the current M119A3 for light artillery versus using lighter platforms such as the Hawkeye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026 a battery commander can sling-load two full howitzer sections (one towed M119A3 and one prime mover per section) with four CH-47 Chinook helicopters. However, with the Hawkeye platform, a brigade can double its ability to project indirect Fires forward in support of a maneuver formation by sling-loading one Hawkeye SPH under each CH-47,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The authors then referenced similar soft recoil work being done by Mandus on the Brutus, which has actually been in development by the company since at least 2012, according to its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mandusgroup.com\/news.php?topic=details&#038;ni=15\" target=_blank>website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neither AM General nor Mandus Group responded to immediate requests for comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Brutus moniker is a curios one, as there is a truck-mounted 155mm Howitzer in current use by the French military called the CAESAR. The acronym in French translates to \u201ctruck equipped with an artillery system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CAESAR has been used in Afghanistan and Mosul, Iraq. It was developed in the 1990s in a six-wheeled variant. An eight-wheeled version was showcased in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army does have a self-propelled 155mm howitzer platform in the armored M109 Paladin, which has been undergoing its own improvement program. But it lacks the transport options of a Humvee-strapped howitzer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both the Hawkeye and Brutus fit, in part, descriptions laid out by Army Contracting Command back in February that looks for a \u201cNext Generation\u201d howitzer for the infantry brigade combat team and Stryker BCTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Government is interested in a single system replacement for the M119 and M777 towed howitzers currently fielded \u2026,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fbo.gov\/index?s=opportunity&#038;mode=form&#038;tab=core&#038;id=8a192dfa01750a790b77711663ec4093\" target=_blank>fbo.gov<\/a> posting noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They laid out some areas in which they were seeking new concepts or changes. Those included modifications to the existing artillery fleet, a short-tube 155mm Howitzer, \u201cintegration of existing\/developmental armaments into existing\/developmental vehicle,\u201d and a ground up wheeled howitzer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SOEKOz4I6iY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\"
