General Atomics receives a U.S. Army contract for extended-range artillery projectiles, according to Military Times and Defense News. Both outlets report that the award follows a test conducted last year in which the company’s projectile was fired from an M777 howitzer and struck targets at distances greater than 74 miles. The articles describe the performance result as demonstrating the projectile’s extended range from the existing artillery platform. While the two reports focus on the test outcome and the contract award, they provide limited additional contract details, such as total value, production quantities, delivery timelines, or specific system design information. The coverage is consistent in linking the Army’s decision to the reported successful test and in specifying the firing platform and approximate range achieved. The reports therefore present the contract as tied to demonstrated reach beyond 74 miles from an M777 howitzer.
