Archer Howitzer Artillery System
Archer
Elevation +70° (1244mils)/-1° (-18mils)
Traverse 170° (3022mils) (85° left/85° right)
Rate of fire 8 rds/min rapid 1.25 rds/min sustained
Effective firing range 30 km (19 mi) with standard shells 45 km (28 mi) with base bleed 35 km (22 mi) with BONUS 60 km (37 mi) with M982 Excalibur
The ARCHER design prioritizes soldier and platform survivability. Operators control the entire gun system from the safety of ARCHER’s armored cabin. ARCHER needs less than 30 seconds from the time the operators receive a call for fire, to stop the vehicle, position for action, and fire the first round. Less than 30 seconds after the mission is accomplished, ARCHER is on the move again.
ARCHER can fire six rounds, displace, and move 500 m in less than 2 minutes, while the crew remains in an armored cabin. Fires both conventional artillery ammunition as well as BONUS Anti-armor and Excalibur Precision Guided Munition. ARCHER is in operational use, and was fielded to the Swedish Army 2016 on a 6x6 VOLVO articulated hauler chassis.
BAE Systems is offering the ARCHER wheeled mobile artillery system to the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) as the replacement for the legacy AS90 self-propelled artillery gun. The ARCHER brings a proven, advanced technology system, which presents the lowest risk solution for the Mobile Fires Platform (MFP) programme, as the UK aims to modernise its 155mm capabilities. The ARCHER is already in service with the British Army as its interim solution to replace the AS90 systems the UK donated to Ukraine.
ARCHER is shortlisted by Switzerland as one of two remaining competitors and available on the international market integrated onto an 8x8 RMMV HX2 truck.
