UK - AS90

Royal School of Artillery

The AS90 is a 155mm self-propelled gun that equips three field regiments of the Royal Horse Artillery and Royal Artillery. The AS90 is fitted with a 155 mm, 39-calibre gun barrel and is compatible with all standard NATO 155 mm ammunition. In trials, two AS90 guns were able to deliver a total payload of 261 kg onto a single target in less than ten seconds. An automated loading system enables the gun to fire with a burst rate of three rounds in fewer than ten seconds, an intense rate of six rounds per minute for three minutes and a sustained rate of two rounds per minute.
