During a live-fire test at the US Army's Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona, in September 2022, Hanwha's K9 Thunder Self-Propelled Howitzer and K10 Ammunition Resupply Vehicle successfully proved their compatibility with US munitions, including 155mm M795 projectiles, XM1113 RAP, and MACS charges.
The demonstration consisted of three events _ automated resupply of US projectiles by the robotic K10 ARV; firing of M795 projectiles to showcase K9's tactical Shoot-and-Scoot capability; and firing of XM1113 RAP, which successfully proved the K9 artillery solution's interoperability with US munitions and charges in addition to the extended range, shoot and scoot, and high rate of fire of the K9 system.
For the Burst Fire and Rate of Fire capability, the 155mm/52-calibre K9 self-propelled gun fired six rounds in 43 seconds with minimal physical effort. The K9A1 also fired XM1113 RAP to a range in excess of 50 kilometers.
This live demonstration was conducted under the Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) framework signed in 2020 with the aim of assessing the feasibility, performance, and capabilities of carrying and firing the US munitions by the Hanwha artillery platforms.
