    A self-propelled artillery vehicle designated 'HTB-VIII' is captured mid-fire, with a large muzzle blast and smoke cloud erupting from the elevated gun barrel. The vehicle bears a U.S. flag decal and appears to be on a test range or firing demonstration area. The image shows a dramatic firing event under a clear blue sky in what appears to be an arid environment.

    Extended Range Cannon Artillery, or ERCA, will be an improvement to the latest version of the Paladin self-propelled howitzer that provides indirect fires for the brigade combat team and division-level fight. Building on mobility upgrades, ERCA will increase the lethality of self-propelled howitzers. ERCA provides a “10x” capability through a combination of an increased range, increased rate of fire, increased lethality, increased reliability and a greater survivability.
