	G6 howitzer - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The G6 self propelled howitzer was developed around the ordnance of the G5 howitzer.
		Both the G5 and the G6 have been used in the close air support role in place of aircraft, which were often too valuable to risk.
		In addition to the logistical mobility afforded by a wheeled chassis, the G6 is protected against counter battery fire and is able to defend itself in an unsecured area.

	Army Technology - G6 155mm - Self Propelled Howitzer
		The G6 is a 155mm long-range gun developed and produced by the LIW division of Denel, mounted on a chassis made by Alvis OMC (now part of BAE Systems Land Systems).
		The G6 155mm self propelled howitzer is a highly autonomous system with 700km vehicle fuel range, 50km weapon range using velocity enhanced long range projectiles and the ability to fire the first round within 60 seconds of the vehicle stopping.
		The G6 is operated by a crew of six - driver, commander, gun layer, breech operator, ammunition loader and ammunition handler.

		Howitzers are distinguished from other types of cannon artillery by their trajectory in that they tend to fire at high angles and deliver plunging fire.
		In addition to this, the barrel of a howitzer is commonly below 30 calibers (the length of the barrel is less than 30 times as long as the diameter of the bore), whereas other cannon and field guns tend to fire at no more than 45° and have a caliber of 30 or over.
		Howitzers are still either towed, or now self-propelled where they mix the maneuverability and to some extent the protection of tanks with their heavy firepower.

		The G5 is a South African towed howitzer of 155 mm calibre manufactured by Denel.
		Initial versions of it were based on the 45-calibre GC-45 howitzer designed by Gerald Bull, though it has gone through many modifications and variations to reach its latest model; the 52-calibre G5-2000.
		It is mounted on a slightly-modified version of a towed chassis design by NORICUM, which also includes a small APU to allow it to dig itself in and move short distances at up to 16 km/h.

	G6-52 155mm SELF-PROPELLED GUN-HOWITZER
		Although outwardly resembling South Africa's renowned 155mm G6 wheeled Self-Propelled (SP) artillery system, the G6-52 is substantially different - to such a degree that it is justifiably promoted as an entirely new system.
		Although artillery is usually deployed in batteries as described in military doctrine, the G6-52's capability is demonstrated by the fact that a single G6-52 howitzer is able to cover an area of approximately 1 720 square kilometers from a deployment position.
		Other than the G6, most Self-Propelled (SP) artillery systems consist of the gun turret mounted on a tracked vehicle.

		The Indian Army is shortly expected to place an order for new 155mm/52-caliber howitzers as part of its Field Artillery Rationalization Plan.
		It is expected that a total of up to 4000 howitzers will be procured to equip its 185 tube artillery regiments.
		Despite the Denel howitzer’s accuracy (probable errors of between 0.3-0.4% of range were achieved for the T-6 during trials), guided rounds offer the best (and most economic) alternative to air power for accurate engagements against hardened enemy targets over very long ranges.

		Setting the pace is the US joint lightweight 155mm howitzer, a successor to the 15,700lb M198.
		The South African G6 155mm howitzer and the DANA self-propelled 152mm howitzer are both early examples of this.
		Indeed, the rather crude attempts in the US during the 1980s to mount a M102 howitzer on an 8x8 medium-combat truck in order to effect rapid deployment was prophetic.

	The Best Artillery in the World (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The United States has a 105mm howitzer, the M119, that was built in the U.S. as a licensed copy of the L118, a British howitzer that was proven in the 1982 Falklands War.
		The 2S3 is a self-propelled version of the D-20 towed howitzer (the howitzer is simply mounted in a turret).
		Using the lightweight M777 howitzer in a tracked vehicle using a hybrid diesel-electric drive, it comes in at 23 tons (and the goal is to get it slimmed down to 20 tons), making it C-130-transportable.

		The Portee carries the modified M777, 20 rounds of ammo, and some additional mechanical gear to enable the howitzer to fire from the vehicle.
		A 155mm howitzer cannot effectively be fired from a 14 ton vehicle (without doing a lot of damage to the suspension), so the Portee partially unloads the howitzer before firing, so that the ground absorbs the recoil, not the vehicle.
		When it’s time to move again, the howitzer is hauled back on to the vehicle, and off it goes.

		This time, the latest variant of the company’s G6 howitzer, the G6-52L, has set a new range record for tubed artillery systems, propelling a shell to a phenomenal distance of 75km, easily beating the previous record (also set by Denel) of 67km.
		During the same round of tests, Germany’s high-tech PzH-2000 howitzer fired the exact same ammunition, but was only able to achieve a range of 56km, well short of the G6.
		What’s more, Denel is currently working on improving the range and accuracy of the G6 even further.
