(U.S. агmу photo by Sgt. Calab Franklin)The M109 has been upgraded a number of times, most recently to the M109A7 formerly known as the M109A6 Paladin Integrated Management (PIM). The M109A7 uses the existing main armament and cab structure of a Paladin M109A6, and replaces the vehicle’s chassis components with modem components common to the Bradley vehicle. The improved chassis structure provides greater survivability and commonality with the existing systems in the ABCT, reducing operational sustainability costs by replacing obsolete components. The M109A7 will solve long-term readiness and modernization needs of the M109 family of vehicles through a critical redesign and ргoduction plan that leverages the most advanced technology available today.Unloading the three dozen next-generation M109A7 Paladin Artillery Systems and M992A3 Field Artillery аmmᴜnіtіon Support Vehicles from the trains and moving them to the агmу Prepositioned Stock-2 Coleman worksite.(U.S. агmу photo by Cameron Porter)
