Description: Originally designed as a towed howitzer, the 155mm FH77 39-caliber evolved into a self-propelled howitzer integrated into a 6x6 all-terrain vehicle called the FH 77B.

The FH 77B is able to fire 8 rounds and move 500 m away taking less than 3 minutes. It is also able to fire 3 rounds within 3 minutes and sustain a rate of fire of 8 rounds/minute. The system is provided with its own navigation system to achieve optimized accuracy performing multi-round simultaneous impact.
