What project DH7 buys
This project supports howitzer efforts required to achieve highly mobile, survivable, versatile, transportable, long range, lethal fires in support of the Army's Field Artillery modernization objectives. These critical development efforts provide an enhanced capability reducing emplacement and displacement times, increasing crew survivability and protection, providing greater mobility, and affords improved fire support capability for Field Artillery formations well beyond the capability of the current howitzer systems.

The R-2A exhibit — the only level of the budget that describes work that has not happened yet. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only, no five-year plan. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
FY2026 to FY2027 change Funding decreases due to project consolidation into project DP3 - Mobile Tactical Cannon (MTC) within this PE.
FY2026 plans — current year Funding supports the enhancements, integration, and testing of system of systems to include, but not limited to, artillery weapon system, ammunition, and fire control systems to achieve desired firing range and lethal fires effects on targets, as necessary for Artillery unit operations.
