The M109 self-propelled howitzer was developed in response to a request from the US Army.
The US Army needed a heavy howitzer that was more maneuverable on all types of terrain than the outdated M-44.
The first M109s entered service in the early 1960s and immediately proved their worth.
The M109 was continuously modernized throughout its service life to meet evolving requirements.
The 155mm main armament was improved with the introduction of the Version A1 with its long-barreled M185 cannon, which provided a significantly increased firing range.
The subsequent Version A2 incorporated further improvements to the weapon, including aiming, ammunition, and target acquisition systems.
The M109 was produced in large numbers and equipped both the US armed forces and key NATO allies.
