STATE OF THE ART ARTILLERY SYSTEM FOR FAST AND PRECISE FIRE SUPPORT
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.
The crew has 45 carried rounds available for their task completion. Fully automated gun loading allows the crew to fire up to 6 rounds within the first 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.
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.
MORANA can fire at enemy positions, structures and static or even moving vehicles directly in case of emergency. Direct fire is available to the crew at a range of up to 5 km during the day and 3 km at night. An integrated secondary weapon offers extra protection and firepower to the crew for close engagement and low-altitude UAVs.
