Description
Description — 155MM Ltwt Towed Howitzer
The LW155 (also known as the M777A2 Howitzer) provides all weather, day/night, reinforcing, and direct/general support fires to maneuver forces. It is a joint program between the Marine Corps and Army and supports various foreign military purchases of the weapon system. The M777A2 Howitzer was first fielded by the Marine Corps in April 2005 and completed fielding in April 2013. This budget line supports system updates to maintain and increase performance and lethality. M777A2 Howitzer is the prominent weapon of the Marine indirect fires triad and currently the only cannon in the Service. This Budget Line Item supports modernization efforts to the M777A2 howitzer to include upgrades to the Digital Fire Control System (DFCS) to allow continued operation in Global Positioning System (GPS)-contested environments.
Justification
Justification — 155MM Ltwt Towed Howitzer
FY 2026 Base Appropriation Request: $0.003M (Reserve) FY 2026 funding will continue to support the retrofitting of previously procured hardware modifications such as software defined radios for the Reserve units. The decrease from FY 2025 to FY 2026 reflects a pause in the procurement of DFCS components to allow continued operation in a GPS-contested environment and refresh of obsolete components. The M777A2 Howitzer Digital Fire Control System is currently running on a Windows 7 software and not in compliance with DOD mandate for Windows 10/11.
