American artillery of the future erased? [COMMENTARY]

Information on the cancellation of backing for the ERCA program was provided by Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Army for Purchase, Logistics and Technology Doug Bush. He reported that work on the XM1299 prototype came to an end last autumn. The reason for the withdrawal of the U.S. Land Army from the task was to be the results of the polygonal research. There it was noted that the XM1299 has problems, among others, with excessive usage of the barrel. A full of 20 prototypes were planned to be produced, including 2 to measurement ballistic and antimine opposition and 18 to the first unit of artillery, where the Haubice were to be tested for U.S. Army artillery.
