Army takes the First M109A7 Paladin. How old is too old when it comes to mechanized?

the system uses GPS and as system called AFCS and DRU don't want to give out the secret names on social media but I think you get the point maybe you can search it. but spades are not used any more CW3 because the system picks up displacement when it fires and adjust on stabilizers built into the track and hull, all theses systems work to together as we call it SHOT, MOVE and Communicate and most of all KILLS the target we use now use 13 digit grid system as well. Hit me hit up we will talk more, I've been on A1 through A6 and very interested in the future of the Artillery and were it is going and manning of the howitzers as well. Our future is the "KING OF BATTLE in combat without a massive killing machine that is better then our European partners we are not going to win the future battle on the battle field.

Shoot, Move, and Communicate

Make it lighter, comes with VMS,motion sensor,cause you still can go old school,hand cranking, (SUCKS!!!)With technology 2day, spades not necessary, I was on A6 for several years and even tought on it,we never used them, except 4 class environment, no more cammo netting either,that made me happier than the A/C on the A6
