K-9

Notes: This is an advanced South Korean self-propelled howitzer, similar in concept and performance to SP howitzers such as the US M-109A6 Paladin, German PZH-2000, and Israeli Slammer. The K-9 features a 52-caliber length gun, GPS, fire control computers, a land navigation system, inertial navigation, and automatic fire solution input from FIST vehicles. The K-9 can begin to fire within 3 phases of a halt and begin to lay fire without the aid of an FDC if the target's location is known. With the help of fire input from a FIST vehicle or FDC, the K-9 may fire immediately after a halt. By use of an automatic rammer, the K-9 may decrease reload time to 1 for one minute every ten minutes.
