The M109 self-propelled howitzer was developed in response to a US Army requirement.
This required a heavy howitzer that was more maneuverable on all types of terrain than the outdated M-44.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 themselves.
The M109 has also been continually modernized throughout its service life to meet evolving requirements.
The 155mm main armament was improved with the introduction of the A1 version with its long-barreled M185 cannon, providing a significantly increased firing range.
The subsequent A2 version featured further improvements to the weapon, including aiming, ammunition and target acquisition systems.
The M109 was mass-produced and equipped both American forces and key NATO allies,
