Lightweight Howitzer

KNDS USA manufactures the traverse drive and elevation drive gearboxes, as well as several other components used on the M777 Lightweight Howitzer.  KNDS USA has produced components for more than 1500 guns in full rate production. KNDS USA continues to produce and deliver components for M777 spares support contracts.

KNDS began working on the M777 program in the pre-production stage where we demonstrated our ability to work with our customers to improve their products by suggesting design and manufacturing changes to enhance producibility, reliability, and performance.

Due to our consistent ability to meet customer needs, KNDS USA has taken responsibility for manufacturing an increased workshare on the M777 as the program has matured.
