155 mm caliber

Common type of artillery calibre March 2025 "155 mm" is a very widely used calibre (barrel internal diameter) for artillery guns and their corresponding artillery shells. Land warfare Historic calibres France - 1874 thumb|155-mm De Bange canon Mle 1877|220x220pxThe 155 mm on caliber originated in France after the Franco-Prussian War (1870–1871). A French artillery committee met on 2 February 1874 to discuss new models for French fortress and siege artillery, among which there was a weapon in the 140 to 160 mm in on calibre range. After several meetings, on 16 April 1874 the committee settled on the 155 mm on calibre, and led to the De Bange 155 mm cannon.2024-02-15 Quels sont ces obus de 155 mm livrés par les Occidentaux à l’Ukraine et disponibles à prix d’or ? https://www.ouest-france.fr/politique/defense/155-mm-un-calibre-quasi-mythique-disponible-a-prix-dor-a22dc980-ca62-11ee-a3b1-a38454b34a5c https://web.archive.org/web/20240611110313/https://www.ouest-france.fr/politique/defense/155-mm-un-calibre-quasi-mythique-disponible-a-prix-dor-a22dc980-ca62-11ee-a3b1-a38454b34a5c 2024-06-11 2025-05-31 Ouest-France.fr fr-FR NATO standard thumb|M107, M795, M483A1 155 mm projectiles|220x220pxAmong the existing and the former 155 mm artillery shells, there is one that has been standardised by NATO under both the AOP-29 part 1 (in reference to STANAG 4425), and under the NATO Joint Ballistics Memorandum of Understanding JBMoU de Joint Ballistics Memorandum of Understanding (Joint Ballistics Memorandum of Understanding).AOP 29-1 : 2012 NATO INDIRECT FIRE AMMUNITION INTERCHANGEABILITY - PA https://www.intertekinform.com/en-gb/standards/ 2025-05-31 www.intertekinform.com en-GB This standard defines a standard 155 mm projectile with a 23 litre combustion chamber volume.Cazalet Mark 2022-09-23 Thunderstruck! – Hanwha Unveils K9A2 SPH Prototype https://euro-sd.com/2022/09/articles/27423/thunderstruck-hanwha-unveils-k9a2-sph-prototype/ 2025-05-31 en-US NATO is now pushing from standardised artillery shell to sharable ammunition. The standard described above enables the use of NATO shells in all NATO guns. But they still need to be qualified on each gun to control the performances (ballistic characteristics) and safety.2023-11-10 NATO Review - Turning standard ammunition into sharable ammunition https://www.nato.int/docu/review/articles/2023/11/10/turning-standard-ammunition-into-sharable-ammunition/index.html 2025-05-31 NATO Review en Retirement of other calibres This has led to the obsolescence of larger caliber artillery shells such as the 175 and 203 mm in. Some militaries continue to retain the smaller 105 mm (105 mm in out) weapons for their light weight and greater portability. Russia and some former Soviet states use 122 , 130 , and 152 mm in artillery in similar roles. Naval warfare Since the end of World War II, the 155 mm on caliber has not found any use among naval forces despite its ubiquity on land with most NATO and aligned navies using 76 mm, 100 mm, 114 mm, or 127 mm guns on modern warships. At one point the British Ministry of Defence studied "up-gunning" the Royal Navy's 4.5 inch Mark 8 naval guns to give increased firepower and a common caliber between the Royal Navy and the British Army. Despite superficially appearing to be inferior based on a simple comparison of round diameters, when firing conventional ammunition the smaller, 4.5 inch Mark 8 naval gun is comparable to the standard 155 mm (6.1 in) gun-howitzer of the British Army. The standard shell from a 4.5 inch Mark 8 naval gun has the same, if not better, range. Only by using rocket-assisted projectiles (RAPs) can most 155 mm (6.1 in) guns have comparable range to the 4.5 inch Mark 8 naval gun and by doing so there is a reduction in the payload. This is because naval guns can be built much more strongly than land-based self-propelled gun-howitzers, and have much longer barrels in relation to caliber (for example the 4.5 inch Mark 8 naval gun has a barrel length of 55 calibers, while the standard AS-90 self-propelled gun has a barrel length of 39 calibers). This allows naval guns to fire heavier shells in comparison to shell diameter and to use larger propellant charges in relation to shell weight, leading to greater projectile velocities. Even without active cooling, the heavier naval gun barrels allow a faster sustained rate of fire than field guns, and this is exploited with an autoloading system with a capacity of several hundred rounds. The 155 mm (6.1 in) is better than the 4.5 inch Mark 8 naval gun for firing cannon-launched guided projectiles (CLGP) as the lower velocity of the 155 mm (6.1 in) shell makes it much easier for the projectiles' internal electronic guidance systems to survive being fired. While the US Navy's Advanced Gun System (AGS) also uses a 155 mm (6.1 in) caliber, it is not compatible with NATO-standard 155 mm (6.1 in) ammunition. Only one type of ammunition was ever developed and procurement was discontinued in 2016 due to its high cost, making the AGS unusable.https://news.usni.org/2018/01/11/no-new-round-planned-zumwalt-destroyer-gun-system-navy-monitoring-industry No New Round Planned For Zumwalt Destroyer Gun System; Navy Monitoring Industry LaGrone Sam 11 January 2018 USNI News U.S. Naval Institute 2018-03-02 155 mm guns April 2019 section which of the guns are not NATO-compatible November 2021 Current 20em NATO and allies Finland 155 K 83 155 GH 52 APU France CAESAR GCT Germany Artillery Gun Module PzH 2000 Germany / United Kingdom / Italy FH70 Israel SIGMA 155 ATMOS 2000 Soltam M-71 Italy Palmaria Japan Type 99 Type 19 Poland AHS Krab Republic of Korea K9 Thunder KH179 Singapore FH-2000 SLWH Pegasus SSPH Primus Slovakia 155 mm SpGH Zuzana Spain Santa Bárbara Sistemas 155/52 Sweden Archer artillery system FH77 Turkey Panter howitzer Turkey / Republic of Korea T-155 Fırtına Ukraine 2S22 Bohdana 2P22 Bohdana United Kingdom AS-90 United Kingdom / United States M777 United States M109 howitzer M114 howitzer M198 howitzer Other countries Compatible with NATO projectiles: India Dhanush ATAGS Bharat-52 MArG 155-BR Russia 2S19M1-155 – the 155 mm export version Serbia Nora B-52 Unknown compatibility: China WAC-21 PLZ-45 PLZ-05 PCL-181 South Africa G5 G6 Historic 20em France GPF 155 mm St. Chamond 155 mm Schneider 155 mm Obusier de 155 mm Modèle 50 TRF1 Israel Soltam M-68 Japan Type 75 Serbia Nora B-52 Singapore FH-88 Sweden Bandkanon 1 United States M1/M2 155 mm "Long Tom" M12 M41 M44 M53 Experimental or prototype-only United States XM1203 (five prototypes built) XM2001 (one prototype built).
