Automatic howitzers in the Pacific

ELBIT has announced today that the company has received a contract worth approximately $106 million for the delivery of fully automatic howitzer systems of the SIGMA type to a country in the Asia-Pacific region. The contract will be executed over a period of five years.

SIGMA is a 155mm/52 caliber self-propelled howitzer that enables automatic loading and laying of the gun system, fast deployment and redeployment times, and a high rate of fire. It provides a protected cabin for a crew of three. Depending on the mission, SIGMA is capable of automatically selecting and loading the required projectile, propellant, and fuse, and aligning the gun to engage the targets optimally.
