    Two large-caliber howitzers are positioned in a desert environment with their barrels elevated at a high angle. The artillery pieces are painted in military olive/dark green and are deployed in an emplaced configuration with stabilizing spades visible. The text '4 MAN LIFT' is stenciled on the barrel of the foreground piece, consistent with U.S. Army M198 or M777 howitzer markings.

    The M777A2 and M777ER side by side at a test site. Retrofitting an M777A2 howitzer into an M777ER—the “ER” stands for extended range—only requires changing five components, which add little additional weight or cost. The long-range cannon project team is evaluating whether equipping artillery batteries with the extended-range howitzer plus new radar and tracking systems can increase their firepower while the Army develops more significant modernization solutions for long-range precision fires.

    GALLERY

    The image shows a tan/desert-colored military trailer-mounted system, likely a radar or electronic warfare unit, parked in what appears to be a civilian parking lot. The system features multiple antenna arrays or sensor panels mounted on a pyramidal housing atop a wheeled trailer with stabilizing outrigger legs deployed. The setting appears to be a suburban or corporate environment based on the surrounding trees, parked civilian vehicles, and paved lot.
