Description
Description — M777 Mods
The Lightweight 155mm Howitzer (LW155), also known as the M777A2, is a Joint Service program between the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and the United States Army. The M777A2 provides direct, reinforcing, and general support fires to maneuver forces and direct support artillery. The M777A2 was first introduced into the United States Marine Corps (USMC) in 2005 and the Marines have fielded the howitzer to all active units. The Army has fielded the howitzer to its Stryker Brigade Combat teams (SBCT) and Infantry Brigade Combat teams (IBCT) including the National Guard. The M777A2 saw extensive action in Afghanistan and received high marks for its performance. The M777A2 fires unassisted projectiles to a range of 30 kilometers (km) and assisted projectiles to 40km. The addition of the digital fire control system enables the weapon to program and fire the improved Excalibur precision-guided munitions to ranges in excess of 40km with better than 10-meter Circular Error Probable (CEP) accuracy. The LW155 is the first ground combat system whose major structures are made of high strength titanium alloy and the system makes extensive use of hydraulics to operate the breech, load tray, recoil and wheel arms. The combination of titanium structures and the use of hydraulic systems resulted in a significant weight savings of 7,000 pounds over the legacy M198 howitzer system. Compared to the M198, the LW155 emplaces three-times faster and displaces four-times faster. It traverses 32-percent more terrain worldwide and is 70-percent more survivable than the M198. It is a successful joint service program between the USMC and U.S. Army working together to develop, produce, field, and sustain the howitzer. The howitzer will be going through modernization of electronic components in its digital fire control system to ensure continued interoperability and survivability on the battlefield. This budget line item provides funding for various system critical Digital Fire Control System (DFCS) hardware and software modifications including, but not limited to, modern Software Defined Radios, Mission Computers, Chief of Section Display, and Assured Position, Navigation and Timing (A-PNT).
Justification
Justification — M777 Mods
FY 2026 funding in the amount of $2.429 million continues the retrofit of previously procured hardware and software modifications and other modernization efforts to the Digital Fire Control System (DFCS). Modernization efforts to the Digital Fire Control System (DFCS) will enable continued system readiness. Net funding decrease of $23.569 million from FY 2025 to FY 2026 reflects the completion of procurement of upgraded Digital Fire Control System (DFCS) operating system hardware and software components and Assured Position, Navigation and Timing (APNT) compliance initiative hardware. "In accordance with Section 1815 of the FY 2008 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 110-181), this item is necessary for use by the active and reserve components of the Armed Forces for homeland defense missions, domestic emergency responses, and providing military support to civil authorities."
