XM1203 Non-Line-of-Sight Cannon

Artist's conception of the Non-Line-of-Sight Cannon

The Non-Line-of-Sight Cannon (NLOS-C) provides unprecedented responsiveness and lethality to the Unit of Action (UA) commander. The Non-Line-of-Sight Cannon (NLOS-C) provides networked, extended-range targeting, and precision attack of point and area targets in support of the Unit of Action (UA) with a suite of munitions that include special purpose capabilities. The Non-Line-of-Sight Cannon (NLOS-C) provides sustained fires for close support and destructive fires for tactical standoff engagement. The system’s primary purpose is to provide responsive fires in support of the FCS Combined Arms Battalions (CABs), and their subordinate units in concert with line-of-sight, Beyond-Line-of-Sight (BLOS), Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS), external and Joint capabilities. The system provides flexible support through its ability to change effects round-by-round and mission-by-mission. These capabilities, combined with rapid response to calls for fire and rate of fire, provide a variety of effects on demand.

The cannon will be able to move rapidly, stop quickly, and deliver lethal first round effects on target in record time. The Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) Cannon will have a multiple round-simultaneous impact (MRSI) capability. The multiple round-simultaneous impact (MRSI) capability, coupled with the Non-Line-of-Sight Cannon’s (NLOS-C) superior sustained rate of fire, will provide record effects on target from a smaller number of systems. The cannon, like all Manned Ground Vehicle (MGV) variants, can rapidly rearm and refuel, and its system weight makes it uniquely deployable. Fully automated handling, loading, and firing will be another centerpiece of the Non-Line-of-Sight Cannon (NLOS-C). The Non-Line-of-Sight Cannon (NLOS-C) balances deployability and sustainability with responsiveness, lethality, survivability, agility, and versatility.
