The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Asked vs spent: the PB2022 book requested $0 for FY2022; the PB2024 book reported $25.0M as actual total obligation authority — $25.0M above the request. 25.0 − 0.0 = 25.0 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — Artillery Systems - EMD
This program element encompasses engineering and manufacturing development for artillery weapons systems. Project 516 is to modernize the field artillery to address obsolesce, improve performance and address emerging threats. The Self-Propelled Howitzer is an indirect fire weapon system with the ability of delivering accurate, long range, lethal and non-lethal cannon fires in support of both Combined Arms Maneuver (CAM) and Wide Area Security (WAS) operations. The Self-Propelled Howitzer and Ammunition Resupply Vehicle can be employed within any Brigade Combat Team formation to neutralize, suppress, or destroy enemy forces, while providing protected transport of a field artillery howitzer section on the modern battlefield. This effort will include system usage and optimization studies, simulations, development engineering, Line Replacement Unit (LRU) prototype development and procurement and validation for incremental upgrades of field artillery. Project DH7 supports the Howitzer Modernization. The US Army modernized howitzer will provide highly mobile, survivable, versatile, transportable, long range, lethal fires in support of Army Transformation Initiative. This project supports the Mobile Tactical Cannon Directed Requirement (MTC-DR) to provide an enhanced capability reducing emplacement and displacement times, increasing crew survivability and protection, providing greater mobility, and affords improved fire support capability for Field Artillery formations well beyond the capability of the current howitzer systems. Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 funding supports the enhancements, integration, and testing of system of systems to include, but not limited to, artillery weapon system, ammunition, and fire control systems to achieve desired firing range and lethal fires effects on targets, as necessary for Artillery unit operations. Project HB6 supports the mobile howitzer program. The Mobile 155mm Howitzer is a Self-Propelled, 155mm Wheeled Howitzer that provides lethal, proactive counter-fire essential for the survivability of the maneuver formations and other close support fires as required. The Mobile Howitzer improves the Field Artillery Battalion's ability to maintain pace with its supporting maneuver formations and survive against responsive, counter-fire from near-peer threats with rapid displacement and emplacement times. The mobile howitzer will improve tactical mobility and system survivability compared to existing towed howitzer systems. Development efforts, prototyping and evaluations will focus on attributes such as improved emplacement and displacement times, driving speed, and crew protection capabilities, all without sacrificing lethality versus existing towed howitzer systems. Program activities focused on evaluation of multiple vendor mobile howitzer systems at United States proving grounds against system requirements. Evaluation will include safety testing, US ammunition compatibility testing, and assessment of mobility, survivability and transportability. Artillery Systems - EMD is part of the Army Transformation Initiative.
Mission — Paladin/FAASV
Project 516 is to modernize the field artillery to address obsolescence, improve performance and address emerging threats. The Self-Propelled Howitzer is an indirect fire weapon system with the ability of delivering accurate, long range, lethal and non-lethal cannon fires in support of both Combined Arms Maneuver (CAM) and Wide Area Security (WAS) operations. The Self-Propelled Howitzer and Ammunition Resupply Vehicle can be employed within any Brigade Combat Team formation to neutralize, suppress, or destroy enemy forces, while providing protected transport of a field artillery howitzer section on the modern battlefield. This effort will include system usage and optimization studies, simulations, development engineering, Line Replacement Unit (LRU) prototype development and procurement and validation for incremental upgrades of field artillery.
Mission — Next Generation Howitzer
Project DH7 supports the Howitzer Modernization. The US Army modernized howitzer will provide highly mobile, survivable, versatile, transportable, long range, lethal fires in support of Army Transformation Initiative. This project supports the Mobile Tactical Cannon Directed Requirement (MTC-DR) to provide an enhanced capability reducing emplacement and displacement times, increasing crew survivability and protection, providing greater mobility, and affords improved fire support capability for Field Artillery formations well beyond the capability of the current howitzer systems.

Mission — Mobile 155MM Howitzer
Project HB6 supports the mobile howitzer program. The Mobile Howitzer is a Self-Propelled, Wheeled Howitzer that provides lethal, proactive counter-fire essential for the survivability of the maneuver formations and other close support fires as required. The Mobile Howitzer improves the Field Artillery Battalion's ability to maintain pace with its supporting maneuver formations and survive against responsive, counter-fire from near-peer threats with rapid displacement and emplacement times. The mobile howitzer will improve tactical mobility and system survivability compared to existing towed howitzer systems. Development efforts, prototyping, system evaluations, and technology evaluations will focus on attributes such as improved emplacement and displacement times, driving speed, and crew protection capabilities, all without sacrificing lethality versus existing and future towed howitzer systems. Technology evaluations will leverage both 105mm and 155mm howitzers to understand benefits and limitations of potential enabling technologies.

Awards
No awards are linked to this program element at high or medium confidence — the budget→award crosswalk only asserts links it can defend, and this line has none yet.
Lobbying mentions
No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.
Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Artillery Systems - EMD. No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
