The M109A7 Paladin is a key capability in the Army’s Armored Brigade Combat Team formation. It provides advanced firepower and manoeuvrability, enabling artillery units to deploy rapidly and engage targets with precision.
The system has a “scoot-and-shoot” capability intended to improve survivability and effectiveness in high-threat environments. BAE Systems said the M109A7 can deliver precise fires in under 30 seconds when emplaced or within a minute while on the move.
“The M109A7 Paladin is a battle-proven platform that delivers what Soldiers need to succeed on today’s battlefield,” said Dan Furber, Combat Mission Systems vice president of Artillery programmes. “With its reliable performance and robust industrial base, the Paladin ensures our troops have the firepower and support they can count on when it matters most.”
The M109A7 is equipped with an adaptable chassis and next-generation capabilities. BAE Systems said it is one of the lightest tracked self-propelled howitzer systems on the battlefield.
The system is engineered to operate in challenging terrain and conditions. Its design supports artillery units that require mobility, precision and sustained combat performance.
BAE Systems said it continues to strengthen its role across the defence industrial base. The company said it is making self-investments to advance artillery capabilities, expand manufacturing capacity and improve operational excellence.
The company said those efforts reflect its commitment to the M109A7 Paladin programme. BAE Systems said the work supports innovation, reliability and mission success to meet the evolving needs of the U.S. Army.
