The Storm Howitzer, one of the most important weapon systems in the Fire Support Automation System of the Turkish Armed Forces, greatly increases the firepower of the Turkish Artillery.
“T-155 K / M FIRTINA Howitzer New Generation Fire Control System” is a system that enables the transfer, deployment, preparation for fire, fire management and fire control operations of the FIRTINA Howitzer to be performed with the help of computers and digital integration with other fire support elements.
The Fire Control System consists of units that carry out the operations from the receipt of a fire order sent via voice or data communication on the howitzer until the bullet leaves the barrel. Storm howitzers have successfully accomplished many tasks since they were included in the KKK's inventory.
