The Army also needs to replace the M-109A6 Paladin Self Propelled 155mm Artillery system. The Paladin cannot be upgraded an further. We used to have a replacement in the pipeline until Barry was elected. Had Obama not cancelled te NLOS Cannon program we would be going to production next spring.

I am looking for a self propelled howitzer proposal that I can agree with to put in there...when I do, I will update.

NLOS does look good and could easily be restarted.

So what ever happened to the "Crusader" SP gun program? We've all see video and still photography of it in testing. Jerking that up short was Dubya's doing -- not Don Rumsfeld's, but Dubya's. Just killed it dead, so he could do RiNO wooden-gun tax cuts instead (like his daddy did), a month before 9/11.

Why'd they kill Crusader? Because of the politics of the name?
