Automated laying is a fire‑control capability that uses sensors and a computer to automatically set a towed artillery or mortar’s elevation and azimuth to the calculated firing solution.

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

Radar system measuring projectile velocity at muzzle exit.

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

An armored crew compartment on towed artillery or mortar systems designed to protect operators from small arms fire, shrapnel, and blast effects during operation.

Artillery system with integrated propulsion, enabling movement under its own power rather than being towed.
