The U.S. Army has moved forward with a new long-range precision artillery program by choosing a guided 155 mm projectile based on a combat-proven European design. General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GD-OTS) confirmed that it has secured the development contract for the Army’s future extended-range artillery round. The selected projectile will be derived from the Vulcano 155 Guided Long Range (GLR) munition , a highly accurate artillery shell originally created through a European defense partnership and is already fielded by several NATO members, including Germany and Italy. Awarded under the National Armaments Consortium framework, the program brings together GD-OTS, Germany’s Diehl Defence, and Italy’s Leonardo Electronics. The effort will focus on modifying the existing Vulcano design to meet specific U.S. Army operational requirements while establishing domestic production
