The US Army has awarded multiple contracts under its Extended Range Artillery Projectile (ERAP) initiative to develop next-generation 155mm munitions. Participants include General Dynamics, General Atomics, and BAE Systems, each offering precision-guided projectiles capable of significantly extending artillery reach. Concepts under development promise ranges beyond 70 kilometers, with some exceeding 120 kilometers. The program aims to improve precision strike capability, battlefield responsiveness, and effectiveness in contested environments while maintaining compatibility with existing artillery platforms.
