Le système d’artillerie Archer ou Archer – FH77BW L52 est un projet international visant à développer un système d’artillerie automoteur de nouvelle génération pour la Suède et la Norvège. Le cœur du système est un obusier entièrement automatisé de 155 mm/L52 et une station d’armes télécommandée montée sur un châssis 6×6 modifié du Volvo A30D, transporteur articulé tout-terrain. Le compartiment équipage et moteur est lourdement blindé et la cabine est équipée de fenêtres anti-balles et anti-fragmentation. En dehors de cela, le système se compose d’un véhicule de ravitaillement en munitions, d’un véhicule de soutien, d’un obus d’artillerie à capteur BONUS et du projectile guidé M982 Excalibur.

The Bofors Archer, or Archer – FH77BW L52, is a highly mobile, fully automated, self-propelled howitzer developed in Sweden. It represents a new generation of wheeled artillery systems designed to deliver rapid, accurate, and protected fire support.
Caractéristiques clés
- Main Weapon: The heart of the system is a 155 mm L/52 gun-howitzer, which is a fully automated version of the Bofors FH77 towed howitzer.
- Vehicle Platform: The system is mounted on a modified 6×6 articulated all-terrain truck chassis, originally the Volvo A30D, giving it excellent off-road mobility and high road speed.
- Automation and Protection:
- The entire gun system, including loading, laying, and firing, is controlled remotely from inside the armored cab.
- This feature ensures that the crew is never exposed to counter-battery fire or other threats during a fire mission.
- The armored cab provides protection against small arms fire, shell fragments, and mine blasts.
- Rapid Deployment: The Archer is designed for « shoot-and-scoot » operations, taking less than 30 seconds to stop and fire the first round, and equally fast to move again after firing. This high speed of action significantly improves survivability.
Performance Capabilities
- Ammunition: It carries 21 complete rounds in an automated magazine, and can fire all NATO-standard 155 mm ammunition.
- Gamme:
- With standard high-explosive rounds, the range is approximately 30 km.
- Using extended range or base bleed ammunition, the range increases to over 40 km.
- With precision-guided munitions like the M982 Excalibur, its range extends beyond 50 km.
- Rate of Fire: The system can achieve a high rate of fire, including a burst of three rounds in under 20 seconds.
- MRSI Capability: It is capable of Multiple Round Simultaneous Impact (MRSI), where multiple shells are fired at different trajectories to all land on the target at the same time.
