US Army Moves Forward with Hanwha’s K9 Mobile Howitzer Prototypes
TL;DR Summary
The U.S. Army contracted Hanwha Defense USA to deliver prototypes of the wheeled 155mm K9 Mobile Howitzer for the Mobile Tactical Cannon program, with up to 18 units over four years, potentially replacing the M777; the system offers rapid emplacement (under 30 seconds), a range exceeding 60 km, onboard ammo and rapid resupply, signaling a shift toward more mobile, Soldier-centric fires and expanding South Korea’s defense footprint in the U.S. market.
