Rocket Artillery
A new concept for artillery
ammunition from Norway-based
Nammo , will enable a modern artillery
system to hit a target with precision
accuracy more than 100km away.
The design is based on a compact
solid-fuel ramjet launched from a
cannon in a collaboration between
ammunition and rocket engineers
at Nammo. While the 100km range may seem
far , already Denel engineers and those
working on the G5 and G6 have reached slighly
lesser ranges , but without much ‘super
structure modification’.
Test firing is planned
for 2019-20, with the artillery
ammunition concept likely to be
operational around 2023-24 if all
goes according to plan. SA Artillery
