| Swedish
army ready to start using the new wheeled self-propelled howitzer
Archer FH77 BW L52. |
| |
The
Swedish army artillery regiment is now ready to start using
the new wheeled self-propelled howitzer Archer, to replace
the old towed howitzer 77B. In early December 2011, the
first four units of Archer will be delivery on a total of
24 pieces. |

Today,
all experimental trials and tests have produced satisfactory
results. In early 2012, the Swedish regiment A9 will begin
to train its first company with the new artillery system,
and deliveries will continue at a rate of two Archers
per month.
A
few weeks ago, Archer was finally tested with all related
and support equipment. This was necessary to determine
whether further adjustments or modifications are necessary
to ensure specifications are met before it finally goes
into production.
