The Mobile Fires Platform (MFP) will deliver the UK’s next generation artillery system enabling a game changing uplift to Indirect Fire capability. It will be more responsive and more lethal at much greater range than the current AS90 systems, whilst providing better protection and survivability for crew and weapon. MFP will be a 155mm 52 calibre, all weather, automated self-propelled gun able to operate day and night.
