The M109A7 is the latest howitzer in the BAE Systems M109 family of vehicles, the primary indirect fire support system for the ABCTs. It uses the existing main armament and cab structure of a Paladin M109A6, and replaces the vehicle’s chassis components with modem components common to the Bradley vehicle. The improved chassis structure provides greater survivability and commonality with the existing systems in the ABCT, reducing operational sustainability costs by replacing obsolete components. The M109A7 is supported by the Army as a vital technology enhancement program to maintain the combat capability of its ABCTs. The M109A7 will solve long-term readiness and modernization needs of the M109 family of vehicles through a critical redesign and production plan that leverages the most advanced technology available today. This state-of-the-art “digital backbone” and power generation capability provides a more robust, survivable and responsive indirect fire support capability for ABCT Soldiers. The M109A7 is considered to be the most cost-effective method to significantly improve sustainability and survivability, while reducing the logistics burden on the ABCT and supporting fires brigades. The program will be executed as a public/private partnership between the Army’s Project Manager-HBCT, Anniston Army Depot and BAE Systems that leverages the strengths of both public and private sectors to ensure the best value for U.S. Soldiers.

ORSKOREA’s centerless grinding machines ensure stable accuracy and durability without the need for chucks or centers. By allowing workpieces to rotate freely between the grinding and regulating wheels, they deliver high-efficiency and uniform machining for shafts, pins, housings, and other cylindrical components used in aerospace, defense, and advanced automotive systems. Key Advantages • High productivity through fast, efficient multi-part processing • ±2μm precision and long-term repeatability • Versatility to handle components from small to large sizes • Hydrostatic slides and spindles minimizing heat and vibration • Proven stability for high-value part manufacturing such as engine components, battery cases, and optical housings By combining productivity, accuracy, and reliability, ORSKOREA’s centerless grinders significantly enhance competitiveness in both defense and civilian applications.

The L-band 8-channel filter bank receiver module is equipped with eight internal filter bank channels, enabling improved reception performance by isolating specific sub-bands within the receive frequency range. A 100W limiter at the input stage protects the receiver from high-power signals, and the module offers a low noise figure of 3.0 dB or less. The input P1dB for the receiver is -20 dBm, and the module features a built-in path self-test function.
