According to a recent report released by the U.S. Department of Defense on the procurement of the military program for fiscal year 2025, the U.S. Army has outlined an important plan to purchase 689 155 mm self-propelled howitzers (SPH) M109A7 and maintain them through 2050.
The move is a cornerstone of the U.S. Army's broader modernization efforts to improve its artillery capabilities. The M109A7, part of the Paladin Integrated Management Program (PIM), will play a central role in improving indirect fire support for U.S. Army armored and mechanized infantry divisions over the next few decades. This purchase is part of a long-term strategy to modernize the U.S. Army's artillery fleet and fill a critical capability gap resulting from the cancellation of the Non-Line of Sight Cannon (NLOS-C) program in 2009.
