General Dynamics European Land Systems (GDELS) has announced the delivery of a new 155 mm/52 caliber artillery barrel to the United States.
In a statement released on Tuesday, GDELS said its Santa Barbara Sistemas division will supply the barrel to General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GD-OTS) by the end of March. The system is similar to those used in the SIAC 155 howitzers of the Spanish army, and was previously exported to a separate international customer.
The artillery barrel was completely designed and manufactured at the GDELS facility in Trubia, Asturias. It will be used at the GD-OTS Ammunition Center of Excellence as a test firing platform for the development of new types of ammunition, projectiles, and gunpowders.
