Archer Artillery System o Archer – FH77BW L52 è un progetto internazionale volto a sviluppare un sistema di artiglieria semovente di nuova generazione per Svezia e Norvegia. Il cuore del sistema è un obice da pistola completamente automatizzato da 155 mm/L52 e una stazione d'arma telecomandata montata su un telaio 6×6 modificato del Volvo A30D, autotrasportatore articolato fuoristrada. L'equipaggio e il vano motore sono pesantemente corazzati e la cabina è dotata di finestrini antiproiettile e a prova di frammentazione. Oltre a questo, il sistema è costituito da un veicolo di rifornimento di munizioni, un veicolo di supporto, bonus Sensor-fuzed Artillery Shell e il proiettile guidato 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.

Caratteristiche principali

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.
Range:
- 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.
