Archer: Sweden's self-loading, rapid-fire artillery system explained

The Archer Artillery System is in a class of its own with its ability to move and fire before an enemy can react.

Designed by BAE Systems, the Archer's simplicity and impressive rate of fire makes it a formidable opponent in battle.

Armed with an automatic loading 155mm howitzer, the system – currently being used by the Swedish army – can be deployed, fire and move off at speed, making it difficult for enemy forces to detect its location after it fires.
