WASHINGTON — The Army took two shots from its Extended-Range Cannon Artillery (ERCA) system, which both reached 65 kilometers in range and hit intended targets, in a demonstration at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona, on March 6, according to Brig. Gen. John Rafferty, who is in charge of Long-Range Precision Fires modernization, the Army’s top priority.
The demonstration proves the cannon is capable of firing roughly 40 miles, which is about the distance between Washington, DC and Annapolis, Maryland, and will up the service’s game should it face near-peer adversaries on the battlefield in the future.
