## Description

The primary purpose of this RFI is for the United States Government (USG) to identify and preliminarily review the maturity of potentially offered self-propelled howitzer systems. The USG is interested in systems that have high maturity and minimize or eliminate development time. Additionally, the USG is interested in understanding the possible future modernization options for those systems.

Any information received in response to this survey will be used by the USG to assess the viability of potential future acquisition strategies. The secondary purpose of this RFI is to collect initial technical details of mature systems to inform USG analysis. The USG will assess both propellant combustion and mobility through use of USG-led modeling and simulation. Any information received in response to this survey will not be used for a contract award.

If these modeling methods are used in a future solicitation, official data will be requested through a Request for Proposal (RFP) at that time. When responding, the USG encourages industry to present both mature systems that are in service as well as systems that could be in service by 2026, absent any USG investment.

Information regarding fielding to Ukraine may be considered, however the USG is most interested in understanding what maturation (testing, training, fielding, etc.) has been completed outside of the urgent Ukrainian situation.
