U.S. Army selects Hanwha K9 wheeled 155mm for Mobile Tactical Cannon prototypes

The U.S. Army is moving toward a wheeled self-propelled 155mm howitzer (Hanwha K9 Mobile Howitzer/K9A2) to replace some M777 towed guns, emphasizing rapid emplacement/displacement (<30s) for shoot-and-scoot and higher onboard ammo capacity. While not a battlefield sighting, it signals a doctrinal/force-structure shift toward more mobile, survivable artillery optimized for a highly transparent battlefield.
