Sweden's Archer offers a unique approach to mobile artillery. Built on a modified Volvo A30D articulated hauler chassis, the system can deploy and fire within 30 seconds of stopping. Its fully automated 155mm gun system can fire up to 20 rounds in under 2.5 minutes, with a maximum range of 50 kilometers using standard ammunition. Archer's ability to fire, relocate, and reload without requiring the crew to leave the armored cabin significantly enhances survivability in modern combat scenarios.
