Paladin M109A6 is a cannon artillery system with self-propelled howitzer (SPH) developed by the ground system division of United Defense LP (now BAE Systems Land and Armaments) and manufactured at the Paladin Production Operation centre at Chambersburg, Pennsylvania.
Paladin was first fielded in 1994, is operational with the United States Army and the Israeli Army and has been selected by the Kuwait and Taiwan.
In June 1999, the US Army received the last of the 950 Paladin M109A6 that it ordered. Seven systems were ordered in July 2000 for the US Army National Guard and a further 18 systems in January 2002.
The US Army received the first Paladin M109A6 upgraded to M109A7 standard in April 2015.
The Paladin artillery system is operated by a crew of four, a commander, a driver, a gunner and a loader.
The crew are able to receive mission data via a secure voice and digital communications system, compute the firing data, automatically unlock the cannon from the travel lock, point the cannon and fire, and move to a new location without external technical assistance. The M109A6 Paladin fires the first round from the move within 60 seconds. The ‘shoot and scoot’ capability protects the crew from counter-battery fire.
Paladin was used in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in March / April 2003 and in the continuing operations in Iraq, including Operation Al Fajr in Fallujah in November 2004.
BAE Systems Land and Armaments supplied 219 modification kits for US Army Paladins, which enable the use of the modular artillery charge system (MACS) and the 155mm precision-guided extended-range XM92 Excalibur projectile being developed by Raytheon and Bofors Defense of Sweden (a BAE Systems subsidiary). Deliveries began in 2005.
The 39-calibre 155mm M284 cannon, which is fitted with an M182 gun mount, has a range of 24km using unassisted rounds or 30km using assisted rounds. The projectile loading can be carried out using the full-stroke hydraulic system or a semi-automatic loading system.
The M109A6 Paladin achieves a maximum firing rate of up to eight rounds a minute, or three rounds in 15 seconds, and a sustained firing rate of one round every three minutes. The gun is operated with an automatic fire control system with ballistic computer, fitted with an optical backup.
The vehicle’s inertial positioning and navigation system is integrated with the automatic fire control system.
A 12.7mm M2 machine gun is mounted on the right hand side of the turret.
US Army Paladins are being fitted with the Modular Artillery Charge Systems (MACS) to fire the Raytheon / Bofors XM982 Excalibur GPS / inertial navigation-guided extended-range 155mm projectiles. Excalibur has a maximum range of 40km and accuracy of better than 10m. First production rounds of Excalibur were delivered in September 2006.
Excalibur successfully completed a limited user test in March 2007. It was first fielded in Iraq in May 2007 and in Afghanistan in February 2008. The new Paladin digital fire control system (PDFCS) is also being fitted and storage capacity for ten Excalibur projectiles.
The crew remains in the vehicle throughout the mission. Protection against nuclear, chemical and biological warfare is installed with individual crew protection systems, including temperature-controlled air. The turret is fitted with Kevlar spall suppression lining for additional ballistic protection.
The Paladin howitzer is equipped with a secure voice and digital communications suite, including the VIC-1 Intercom, VRC-89 or the SINCGARS single channel ground and airborne radio subsystem.
The M109A6 Paladin vehicle is powered by a two-cycle diesel, 440hp, DDEC 8V71T engine from Detroit Diesel Corporation and an Allison ATD-XTG-411-4 transmission with four forward and two reverse gears. The suspension system is based on high-strength torsion bars with high-capacity shock absorbers. The vehicle has a range of 214 miles with a maximum speed of 40mph.
The electrical power supply is rated at 650A, 24V DC.
The PIM prototype was unveiled in October 2007. BAE Systems was awarded the design and development contract for the Paladin PIM in May 2008.
The US Army plans to acquire 580 vehicle sets. Each set includes M109A7 Paladin SPH, along with the battlefield companion the M992A3 Carrier Ammunition Tracked (CAT).
BAE Systems received a one-year base contract from the US Army for M109A7 in October 2013. The company secured the first of the two optional year-long contracts, for producing additional 18 sets, in October 2014. The second $245.3m optional contract, for the production of an additional 30 sets, was awarded in October 2015.
In December 2017, the company received the third and the final contract, worth $413.7m, which marked the completion of the low-rate initial production (LRIP) and start of the full-rate production phase.
The company has the option to provide 60 sets a year for approximately three years during full-rate production. The US Army placed a $249m contract for 60 sets in December 2019.
The US Army and BAE Systems signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for a partnership to upgrade the Paladin named the Paladin integrated management (PIM) programme.
The upgrade retains the space, weight, power cooling, main armament and cab structure but replaces the chassis with Bradley-common chassis. The engine and transmission were replaced with a Cummins 600hp diesel engine and L3 HMPT-500 automatic transmission, also fitted on the Bradley fighting vehicle. The suspension and steering system, as well as survivability, have been improved.
It has a new automated loader, electric gun drive, in line with the future combat systems non-line-of-sight cannon, NLOS-C, and air-conditioning powered by BAE Systems common modular power system (CMPS). The technologies developed under the Crusader and Non-Line-of-Sight Cannon programmes, such as a 600V on-board power system, and projectile ramming systems have been improved. The state-of-the-art digital and power-generation capabilities offer the potential for future payloads and accommodation of current network requirements on the battlefield.
The existing 39-calibre turret was replaced by a 58-calibre, 30ft-long gun barrel for doubling the firepower of the vehicle. The M109A7 is fitted with the extended-range cannon artillery (ERCA) to improve the rate of fire and artillery range. The company also developed precision guidance kits with anti-jamming capabilities (PGK-AJ), which are compatible with multiple firing platforms.

The Paladins (or Twelve Peers ) are twelve fictional knights of legend , the foremost members of Charlemagne 's court in the 8th century. They first appear in the medieval (12th century) chanson de geste cycle of the Matter of France , where they play a similar role to the Knights of the Round Table in Arthurian romance . [1] In these romantic portrayals, the chivalric paladins represent Christianity against a Saracen (Muslim) invasion of Europe. The names of the paladins vary between sources, but there are always twelve of them (a number with Christian associations ) led by Roland (spelled Orlando in later Italian sources). The paladins' most influential appearance is in The Song of Roland , written between 1050 and 1115, which narrates the heroic death of Roland at the Battle of Roncevaux Pass .
The legend is based on the historical Umayyad invasion of Gaul and subsequent conflict in the Marca Hispanica between the Frankish Empire and the Emirate of Córdoba . The term paladin is from Old French , deriving from the Latin comes palatinus ( count palatine ), a title given to close retainers .
The paladins remained a popular subject throughout medieval French literature . Literature of the Italian Renaissance (15th and 16th centuries) introduced more fantasy elements into the legend, which later became a popular subject for operas in the Baroque music of the 16th and 17th centuries. During the 19th and early 20th centuries the term was reused outside fiction for small numbers of close military confidants serving national leaders. Modern depictions of paladins are often an individual knight-errant holy warrior or combat healer, influenced by the paladin character class that appeared in Dungeons & Dragons in 1975.
The earliest recorded instance of the word paladin in the English language dates to 1592, in Delia (Sonnet XLVI) by Samuel Daniel . [1] It entered English through the Middle French word paladin , which itself derived from the Latin palatinus , ultimately from the name of Palatine Hill — also translated as 'of the palace ' in the Frankish title of Mayor of the Palace . [1] A presumptive Old French form * palaisin was already loaned into late Middle English as palasin in c. 1400 .
Over time paladin came to refer to other high-level officials in the imperial, majestic and royal courts. [2] The word palatine , used in various European countries in the medieval and modern eras, has the same derivation. [2]
By the 13th century, words referring specifically to Charlemagne's peers began appearing in European languages; the earliest is the Italian paladino . [1] Modern French has paladin , Spanish has paladín or paladino (reflecting alternate derivations from the French and Italian), while German has Paladin . [1] By extension, paladin has come to refer to any chivalrous hero such as King Arthur 's Knights of the Round Table . [1]
In the Roman imperial period, a palatinus was one of the closest retainers of the emperor , who lived in the imperial residence as part of the emperor's household. The title survived into the medieval period, as comes palatinus . However, the modern spelling paladin is now reserved for the fictional characters of the chanson de geste , while the conventional English translation of comes palatinus is count palatine . After the fall of Rome, a new feudal type of title, also known simply as palatinus , started developing. The Frankish kings of the Merovingian dynasty (reigned 480–750) employed a high official, the comes palatinus , who at first assisted the king in his judicial duties and at a later date discharged many of these himself. Other counts palatine were employed on military and administrative work. [3]
In the Visigothic Kingdom , the Officium Palatinum consisted of a number of men with the title of count that managed the various departments of the royal household. The Comes Cubiculariorum oversaw the chamberlains , the Comes Scanciorun directed the cup-bearers, the Comes Stabulorum directed the equerries in charge of the stables, etc. The Ostrogothic Kingdom also maintained palatine counts with titles such as Comes Patrimonium, who was in charge of the patrimonial or private real estate of the king, and others.
The system was maintained by the Carolingian sovereigns (reigned 751–987).
A Frankish capitulary of 882 and Hincmar, archbishop of Reims , writing about the same time, testify to the extent to which the judicial work of the Frankish Empire had passed into their hands. [3]
Instead of remaining near the person of the king, some of the counts palatine were sent to various parts of his empire to act as judges and governors, the districts ruled by them being called palatinates. [3] By the High Middle Ages, the title "count" had become increasingly common, to the point that both great magnates who ruled regions that were the size of duchies, and local castle-lords, might style themselves "count". As the great magnates began to centralize their power over their local castle-lords, they felt the need to assert the difference between themselves and these minor "counts". Therefore, several of these great magnates began styling themselves "Count Palatine", signifying great counts ruling regions equivalent to duchies, such as the Counts Palatine of Champagne in the 13th century. The Count Palatine of the Rhine served as prince-elector from "time immemorial" (with Wigeric of Lotharingia reaching back to the late Carolingian era), noted as such in a papal letter of 1261, and confirmed as elector in the Golden Bull of 1356 . Palatin was also used as a title in the Kingdom of Hungary .
In the French courtly literature of the 12th century, the paladins are the twelve closest companions of Charlemagne , comparable to the role of the Knights of the Round Table in Arthurian romance.
The names of the twelve paladins vary from romance to romance, and often more than twelve are named. The number is popular because it resembles the Twelve Apostles ( etc. ).
Always named among the paladins are Roland and Oliver ; other recurring characters are Archbishop Turpin , Ogier the Dane , Huon of Bordeaux , Fierabras , Renaud de Montauban and Ganelon .
Their greatest moments come in The Song of Roland (written between c. 1040 and 1115), which depicts their defense of Charlemagne's army against the Saracens of Al-Andalus , and their deaths at the Battle of Roncevaux Pass due to the treachery of Ganelon . The Song of Roland lists the twelve paladins as Roland , Charlemagne 's nephew and the chief hero among the paladins; Oliver , Roland's friend and strongest ally; and Gérin, Gérier (these two are killed in the same laisse [123] by the same Saracen, Grandonie), Bérengier, Otton, Samson, Engelier, Ivon, Ivoire, Anséis, Girard. Other characters elsewhere considered part of the twelve appear in the song, such as Archbishop Turpin and Ogier the Dane .
The paladins figure into many chansons de geste and other tales associated with Charlemagne. In Fierabras (c. 1170), they retrieve holy relics stolen from Rome by the Saracen giant Fierabras.
In some versions, Fierabras is converted to Christianity and joins the ranks of the paladins himself. In Le Pèlerinage de Charlemagne they accompany their king on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and Constantinople in order to outdo the Byzantine Emperor Hugo.
The Italian Renaissance authors Matteo Maria Boiardo and Ludovico Ariosto , whose works were once as widely read and respected as William Shakespeare 's, contributed prominently to the literary and poetical reworking of the tales of the epic deeds of the paladins. Their works, Orl
