…Super Cannon "U.S. Army is being criticized for the development of new deadly cannon, which is expected to fire rounds out to 1,000 km, or 620 miles. The Army is exploring possibilities both with Governments and the private sector to develop a new massive artillery system that can precision hit targets at 1000 kilometers. The Army interest in long-range cannon capable of firing a higher volume of low-cost rounds to help offset the cost of hypersonic weapons. The program called the Strategic Long Range Cannon (SLRC) is comprised of a weapon, prime mover and trailer, projectile and propelling charge capable of delivering massed fires at strategic ranges for multi-domain operations. The SLRC field battery will be included 4 special platforms with cannons and heavy equipment transporters.

MIRV-shells launched to target vicinity via rocket, then guided in by (your favorite sensor platform here.)
One need only look at the similar WW2 German big guns to see the difficulties involved… |

But this is not WWII tech … |

The 16-inch gun they are using isn't…? ;-)
Even the German guns could barely reach 100 miles… |

Yes, but the Big Guns of the WWII Nazis are not where as high tech, as those today, e.g. range & accuracy, etc. Albeit the US Army has only 155mm in their FA inventory. Plus an MLRS and tactical missile systems too. So the old 175 and 8 in. SPFA were deemed no longer needed. Much to my disappointment …  Or the 16in Naval guns I was trained to call in as well. |
