James Rainey, who leads Army Futures Command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe did a very deliberate strategic fires study that underpin the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2020\/09\/08\/for-the-us-armys-fires-capability-2023-is-the-year-that-will-change-everything\/\" target=\"_blank\">long-range precision fires efforts<\/a>,\u201d Rainey told Defense News in an exclusive July 27 interview on his way to Fort Liberty, North Carolina, to speak to soldiers at the Association of the U.S. Army\u2019s Warfighter Summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re doing that same thing now for conventional fires,\u201d he said, adding that \u201cprecision fires are critical, but conventional fires are critical also.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rainey said the time has come for analysis that can inform the artillery strategy based on both \u201cwhat\u2019s happening in Ukraine\u201d as well as what U.S. Army Pacific needs in terms of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2021\/06\/16\/us-army-fires-autonomous-launcher-in-pacific-focused-demo\/\" target=\"_blank\">conventional fires<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indeed, the Army has sent large amounts of artillery to aid Ukraine in its fight against the Russian invasion, including at least 198 155mm howitzers, 72 105mm howitzers, several million artillery rounds and 38 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, according to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2023\/07\/25\/air-defense-ammo-strykers-among-latest-weapons-shipment-to-ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\"> a July 25 Pentagon fact sheet<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strategy will determine both capability and capacity of what exists and what the Army may need, Rainey said. The strategy will also consider new technology to enhance conventional fires on the battlefield, such as advances in propellant that make it possible for midrange cannons to shoot as far as longer-range systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Robotics is another area that will influence the strategy, such as autoloaders for munitions. The Army has experimented with<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2020\/01\/24\/army-picks-6-to-work-on-autoloader-for-extended-range-cannon\/\" target=\"_blank\"> autoloaders for artillery<\/a> as well as ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2021\/04\/19\/us-army-picks-5-innovators-to-help-increase-its-howitzer-firing-rate\/\" target=\"_blank\">improve howitzer firing rates overall.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSome of our NATO allies have some really good kit [and] capability that we\u2019re interested in,\u201d Rainey noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army is currently developing an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2021\/10\/12\/us-army-awaits-acquisition-strategy-approval-for-extended-range-cannon\/\" target=\"_blank\">Extended Range Cannon Artillery<\/a> system that uses a service-developed 58-caliber gun tube mounted on the chassis of a BAE Systems-made Paladin Integrated Management howitzer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army is building 20 prototypes of the ERCA system: two for destructive testing, and the remaining 18 for a battalion set to receive the weapons by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. That unit will then run the cannons through a yearlong operational test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Observations in early testing of prototypes are showing excessive wear on the gun tube after firing a relatively low number of rounds. The Army <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2022\/10\/11\/army-test-will-show-how-many-shots-its-long-range-cannon-can-take\/\" target=\"_blank\">plans to gather more information throughout operational testing <\/a>to determine reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service is already looking at ways to improve the rate of fire before the gun tube requires replacement through adjustments in materials used and the design of the tube, adjustments to propellants, and the design of artillery rounds fired from the cannon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ERCA\u2019s role in the strategy remains to be seen, but the prototype program is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2023\/03\/13\/us-army-seeks-essentially-flat-fy24-budget\/\" target=\"_blank\">experiencing some delay<\/a>, according to Doug Bush, the Army\u2019s acquisition chief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even so, \u201cthe requirement for extended-range fires is absolutely a valid requirement,\u201d Rainey said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think everything we\u2019re seeing in Ukraine [is] about the relevance of precision fires, all the emerging technology, but the big killer on the battlefield is conventional artillery, high-explosive artillery,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army previously planned for a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2022\/05\/23\/us-army-terminates-strategic-long-range-cannon-science-and-technology-effort\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Strategic Long-Range Cannon<\/a> that would achieve artillery ranges of 1,000 nautical miles, but scuttled the science and technology program in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service also took a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2020\/12\/17\/us-army-mobile-howitzer-shoot-off-participants-emerge\/\" target=\"_blank\">readily available 155mm mobile howitzers in 2020 <\/a>in order to find anything that might offer an improvement in range, rate of fire, and mobility over the artillery systems used within Stryker brigade combat teams. The Army evaluated at least four foreign companies\u2019 offerings in a shoot-off but did not move forward with a new capability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The US Army will
