WASHINGTON — Anduril has joined the Elbit America team to provide the Sigma mobile tactical cannon for the Army’s self-propelled howitzer modernization program, the companies announced in a joint statement. 

 “We’re proud to team with Anduril to reduce network integration risk and accelerate fielding,” Luke Savoie, president and CEO of Elbit America, said in the Tuesday release. “Built in the U.S. with a fully domestic supply chain, SIGMA is a combat-proven system that provides the modernization and reliability the Army needs now.”

Anduril joins the US subsidiary of Israeli company Elbit along with OshKosh Defense for the team’s offering for the highly anticipated competition. According to the release, Anduril will provide its command, control, computers, communications, cyber, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C5ISR) capabilities for Sigma and will integrate its artificial intelligence-driven Lattice software platform into the system.

“On Team SIGMA, we’re providing expertise in software, edge compute and autonomy to deliver a connected, software-defined mobile artillery solution that will integrate seamlessly into existing Army Command and Control and fire control architectures,” Michael Roder, managing director at Anduril, said in the release. 

While Anduril provides the C5ISR backbone for the vehicle, Elbit will provide the 155-mm, 52-caliber fully automated cannon and OshKosh will provide the 10×10 vehicle. Further, an Elbit spokesperson told Breaking Defense at the annual AUSA Global Force summit in March that the Sigma is fully manufactured in Charleston, South Carolina. 

In addition to the Elbit America team, the US subsidiary of Korean company Hanwha Defense will be submitting its K9 mobile howitzer for the competition; the US subsidiary of Italy’s Leonardo DRS and European land defense specialist KNDS will be offering their Caesar howitzer variant; and the US subsidiary of German company Rheinmetall is offering their howitzer as well. 

British BAE Systems through its American subsidiary — which currently produces the Army’s M109A7 Paladin Integrated Management (PIM) program — is also competing, a company spokesperson confirmed to Breaking Defense today.

The Army is aiming to award a contract for the new howitzers next month; a tight turnaround as it would come just 10 months after a request for information went out to industry in September. The competition as a whole was originally delayed by months to bring it in line with the Army Transformation Initiative.
