	The 155LW; Too Light to Fight
		The Ultra-Lightweight Field Howitzer (UFH), designated XM777 (LW155) in the USA, was selected in 1997 by a joint US Army/Marine Corps initiative to replace the existing inventory of M198 155mm towed howitzers.
		The basic idea of the LW155 (right) is to field a 155mm howitzer which is half the weight of the current M198 155mm howitzer, so it is easier to handle, tow, and can be flown by medium lift helicopters.
		The advantages of such a weapon are: it would be very light in weight, it would have the accuracy which comes with the non-rifled shell with no precession problems, it would also have the 360 degree "daisy cutter fragmentation pattern of smooth bore mortars and beautiful digging ability.

	A Tandem Wheel Attachment to Improve M198 Howitzer Mobility - Storming Media (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)

		The current capability of towed howitzers would be increased by simplifying the handling and stowage during ground and air transportability/mobility.
		The primary functions of the wheel would be to facilitate the loading and unloading of a stowed Ml98 into a cargo carrier aircraft, moving a stowed or towed M198 around a motorpool/airstrip/tactical environment, used during air assault operations for quick emplacement, and obtaining Ml98 weight and center of balance measurements before air movements.
