# Army Seeks Tracked Artillery Prototypes

The U.S. Army has issued an industry call for tracked artillery solutions through its Mobile Tactical Cannon-Tracked (MTC-T) initiative to replace the M109 self-propelled howitzer. The Army anticipates that eventual awardees may be asked to deliver up to 18 prototypes, with priority on achieving delivery of the first six as early as possible. The notice provides no solicitation number, contract value, submission deadline, or procurement contact.

- Defense contractors with relevant tracked-artillery designs should assess whether their systems can meet the Army’s replacement objective and support rapid prototype delivery, particularly for an initial group of six.
- The potential prototype quantity signals a development and production opportunity, but firms cannot determine bid timelines or commercial scale from the information provided; the notice does not state a value or deadline.
