The unique construction of the self-propelled howitzer MORANA represents a combination of a specialized TATRA chassis 8×8 and an independent tower artillery system with a crew protected by armor. It combines the advantages of lighter self-propelled artillery systems of the TMG (Truck Mounted Gun) category and heavy artillery systems with battle towers.
Firing accuracy and efficiency
The crew has fourty-five carried rounds available for their task completion. Fully automated gun loading allows the crew to fire up to 6 rounds within the 1st minute from establishing position. MRSI fire mode is available.
Sophisticated and powerful GPS/INS navigation, ballistic trajectory calculator and diagnostic computer systems are handled by simplified user interface for fast and precise action. Gun aiming and firing can be carried out automatically or manually.
Protection
The crew handles the whole system from within the protected modular EA Puma cabin that is certified for STANAG 4569 Level 2 against both ballistic and landmine threats.The cabin is pressurized and the air intake is fitted with NBC filters.
Emergency capabilities
Morana can fire at enemy positions, structures and static or even moving vehicles directly in case of emergency.
