Non-line-of-sight cannon
A artist's rendition of a non-line-of-sight cannon, one of a number of proposed weapons systems that would be a part of the FCS Network. The NLOS-C would be self-propelled howitzer with a two-man crew, a 155mm cannon and fully automated armament. FCS vehicles would also feature a common hull and a targeted 80 percent common parts.

One goal of this part of the FCS program is to provide replacements for the Army's aging motor pool of Abrams tanks, Bradley fighting vehicles and Hummvees.
