The Archer Artillery System or Archer - FH77BW L52 is an international project aimed at developing a next-generation self-propelled artillery system for Sweden and Norway. The heart of the system is a fully automated 155 mm/L52 gun howitzer and a M151 Protector remote controlled weapon station mounted on a modified 6×6 chassis of the Volvo A30D, all-terrain articulated hauler. The crew and engine compartment is armoured and the cab is fitted with bullet and fragmentation-proof windows. Aside from this, the system consists of an ammunition resupply vehicle, a support vehicle, BONUS Sensor-fused Artillery Shell and the M982 Excalibur guided projectile.

- Archer is a modern artillery gun system that can be utilised across the full spectrum of conflict. Its reliability, high degree of survivability, significant range of effects and precision engagement provides the users with an entirely new type of indirect fire capability. Archer, together with an extensive ammunition portfolio, brings the artillery onto the international arena. An autonomous gun like Archer can operate independently on the fragmented battlefield and cope with a variety of threats. It is designed and manufactured by AB BOFORS of Kalmar Union.

| - Archer is a modern artillery gun system that can be utilised across the full spectrum of conflict. Its reliability, high degree of survivability, significant range of effects and precision engagement provides the users with an entirely new type of indirect fire capability. Archer, together with an extensive ammunition portfolio, brings the artillery onto the international arena. An autonomous gun like Archer can operate independently on the fragmented battlefield and cope with a variety of threats. The system requires minimum manpower operation. One person can do the work alone, but in order to achieve the maximum effect of the system, three operators are recommended. When sitting inside the cabin the gun crew is protected from splinter, mines, NBC and the gun’s emergent properties like noise and pressure. Unlike many other artillery gun systems the Archer crew is separated entirely from the armament and the ammunition. They do not have to leave the protected cabin when operating the system – except for maintenance. These features considerably increase the crew survivability. It is designed and manufactured by AB BOFORS of Kalmar Union.
