The Panzerhaubitze 2000 (PzH 2000) tracked self-propelled howitzer (SPH) is the most powerful tube artillery system in the world and was developed as a key element for combined arms warfare.

Moreover, the PzH 2000 is an adaptable weapon system for deployment in both conventional operations and in asymmetric combat, Afghanistan for example, as indirect fire support.

The PzH 2000 is being used by four NATO member countries. More than 330 systems have been produced and supplied by Krauss-Maffei Wegmann to date.

The world's most advanced tube artillery system:
This system's success is based on a superior technical concept. Fully-automatic handling of the large onboard ammunition reserve (60 rounds), modern and accurate 155 mm/ 52 calibre ordnance, complete autonomy of the system as a whole. Navigation, fire control and system-based stability enable tactical options that have not yet been available for tube artillery systems. The PzH 2000 satisfies all international requirements for a modern tube artillery system. It can be regarded as a top product of the German defence industry – under the system leadership of KMW.

Key features: 

• Long range with 52 calibre long-barrel ordnance
• High mobility
• Turret and hull made from armoured steel
• Automatic aiming and round loading
• Autonomy through navigation system & fire control computer with ballistic functions

KMW hat den Brückenlegepanzer LEGUAN auf Basis der Kampfpanzer LEOPAR D 1 oder LEOPAR D 2 bereits für die norwegischen, griechischen, belgischen und finnischen Streitkräfte realisiert. Das Verlegesystem kann jedoch auch auf andere gebrauchte oder neue Fahrgestelle von Kampfpanzern aufgebaut werden. So ist es zum Beispiel auch auf Fahrgestellen des polnischen PT91, des U.S.-amerikanischen M1 „Wolverine“ und dem M47/M60 in Spanien im Einsatz. Die Brücke lässt sich auch von Radfahrzeugen wie zum Beispiel dem 8x8 der MAN und dem 10x10 Fahrzeug...
