    U.S. Army mobile howitzer shoot-off participants emerge​

    WASHINGTON — Participants are emerging for the U.S. Army’s mobile 155mm howitzer shoot-off coming up in early 2021 at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona.

    Elbit Systems of America announced Dec. 17 that it had been chosen to bring its Autonomous Truck Mounted Ordnance System (ATMOS) Iron Sabre to the evaluation.

    And BAE Systems and Serbia’s Yugoimport announced they too had been chosen to bring offerings to the shoot-off.

    French defense company Nexter and AM General have also publicly expressed their interest in participating in the shoot-off. Other possible offerings could come from South Korean defense company Hanwha and Japan’s Mitsubishi. Other contenders could be the South African 6x6 Rhino or the Slovakian 8x8 DANA. .     .

    Looks like they got 6 - 8 players so far.
    Will it be FREE or PPV :)

    Across an immense, unguarded, ethereal border, Canadians, cool and unsympathetic,
    regard our America with envious eyes and slowly and surely draw their plans against us.     ​

    Imagine witnessing the "Top Shot" competition between
    6 to 8 different competitors. Each with their own design.

    Accuracy of course.
    Rate of fire.
    That it doesn't suffer from over heating.
