The Singapore Self-Propelled Howitzer 1 (SSPH 1) Primus is a 155 mm, 39 calibre track-based, self-propelled howitzer developed jointly by the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), Defence Science & Technology Agency (DSTA) and Singapore Technologies Kinetics (ST Kinetics) to meet the operational requirements of the SAF.
A fusion of the precision, range and firepower of the artillery, with the protection, speed and manoeuvrability of armoured vehicles, the Primus is a highly accurate, mobile artillery platform that will bolster the fighting capabilities of our armoured forces with its 'hide, shoot, scoot' capability.
Arguably the lightest and most responsive self-propelled howitzer in its class, the Primus packs a big punch to any target within its range. Onboard, the indigenous integration of technologies allows a crew of four to effectively operate the system autonomously, affirming the Primus not only as a formidable force in the modern battlefield, but also as an invaluable asset to our technologically advanced Army.
Designed, developed and produced in Singapore, the Primus is a clear testament of our innovation and industry. An achievement that Singapore can be proud of. |
