A device on the gun barrel that uses high-pressure gas to expel propellant fumes before the breech opens, preventing them from entering the crew compartment.

A digital fire-control system employs computational algorithms to calculate and adjust artillery fire parameters, enhancing accuracy and efficiency in towed systems.

High Explosive (HE) round: an artillery or mortar projectile containing explosive filler designed to inflict damage through blast and fragmentation effects.

Recoil system using a combination of liquid and compressed gas to absorb and return energy from firing.

A breech mechanism in artillery where the screw threads are interrupted to allow quick opening and closing of the breech.

Multiple Round Simultaneous Impact: artillery tactic where multiple rounds from the same or different howitzers land on target within seconds.

A device attached to a firearm's muzzle to redirect propellant gases, reducing recoil and muzzle rise during firing.

Artillery or mortar munition equipped with guidance systems to alter its trajectory after firing for increased accuracy.

Smoke grenades are pyrotechnic devices deployed by infantry fighting vehicles to create a visual screen, obscuring movement or positions from enemy observation or targeting.

A towed artillery carriage configuration where the gun is transported with its two wheels separated, allowing for easier deployment and lower profile when in firing position.
