The US Army will begin testing Extended Range Cannon Artillery (ERCA) prototypes at Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona over the coming weeks in anticipation of a year-long operational test set for fiscal year (FY) 2024.

Brigadier General John Rafferty, the head of the Long-Range Precision Fires Cross-Functional Team, provided Janes with an update of ERCA development and deliveries in an 18 January interview. He said that over the next four to six weeks four prototypes will be delivered to programme officials at Yuma where they will go into their “swim lane” for testing. An additional lot of four prototypes are scheduled to arrive at the site by the end of December.
