The Colombian Army (EJC) maintains its interest in the BAE Systems M-109A5+ 155×52 mm self-propelled artillery system.
It should be recalled that in the recent past, the EJC and the company BAE Systems held discussions for the possible transfer of this howitzer in the A5+ version. It has initial speed measurement radars and a remote tube blocker (compatible with Paladin A6); digital fire direction system; inertial navigation and GPS (which will allow the automation of procedures and integration with digital charts in real time); Harris Falcon III digital radios, used by other Thales Sotas armoured troop vehicles and intercoms, making them top-of-the-line systems with the latest technological innovations that the market can offer.
Colombia currently has 155-caliber howitzers of the GDELS 155/52 APU/SBT towed types, and recently acquired the Elbit System Atmos 6×6 self-propelled howitzers. But he considers having a third armored model with tracked traction such as the M-109.
