The Extended Range Cannon Artillery doubles the range of previous howitzers. The Army and the Air Force are working together to explore new methods of destroying enemy air defenses made possible by advances in networking technology, precision-guidance systems and long-range weapons. The Army’s Long Range Precision Fires program, for instance, is fast refining new weapons able to travel hundreds of miles beyond previously possible ranges to potentially attack and destroy enemy air defenses in order to help air forces achieve and maintain air supremacy. “We are going to have long range precision fires which will enable us to penetrate anti-access/area denial capabilities which they are very concerned about. We will have that capability. We are going to have air and missile defense capability that they will be concerned about because that is how we will protect their bases and it is how we aligned the sensors and shooters together,” Army Chief of Staff Gen. James M ....
Strategic Long-Range Cannon effort on hold ahead of report March 9 Extended Range Cannon Artillery, or ERCA, will be an improvement to the latest version of the Paladin self-propelled howitzer that provides indirect fires for the brigade combat team and division-level fight, but the Army is looking to extend cannon ranges much farther through an ongoing science and technology effort. (Photo by Edward Lopez/U.S. Army) WASHINGTON While some work on the Strategic Long-Range Cannon science and technology effort is ongoing, the Army is primarily waiting for the National Academy of Sciences to issue a report on the cannon’s technical feasibility, Brig. Gen. John Rafferty, who is in charge of the service’s long-range precision fires development, told Defense News. ....
These mortars served the Soviet Union well as they fought for survival against a full-on invasion. Key point: Mortars are inexpensive and provide important portable artillery fire. Here is how they could rain down on the enemy and stall an advance. The mortar as an infantry support weapon has been in use for centuries, but it was during the Second World War that its role on the battlefield proved rather decisive. It was used by all of the six main armies of the war including those of Germany, Japan, Italy, the United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union. It was the Soviet’s Red Army that was, without a doubt, the greatest proponent of the use of mortars during the so-called “Great Patriotic War,” which began with the German invasion of the Soviet Union in late June 1941. During the retreat and throughout the resurgence of the Red Army batteries of mortars were successfully mixed with conventional tubed artillery. ....
Recently discovered artifacts may be connected to 1700s British ship The artifacts, found in Savannah last month, include three cannons, an anchor and ship timber. Recently discovered artifacts may be connected to 1700s British ship By Sam Bauman | March 8, 2021 at 4:47 PM EST - Updated March 8 at 7:27 PM SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - A recent discovery in the Savannah River has stirred up a lot of questions and speculation. Although the Army Corps of Engineers may have stumbled across the Pre-Civil War artifacts accidentally, their search for answers has come with clear intent. “This was an exciting find while we were doing regular maintenance dredging to ensure the Savannah River stays navigable for some of the large ships coming in,” said U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Archaeologist Andrea Farmer. ....
