It became known that the United States will no longer fund the project of the powerful Strategic Long Range Cannon (SLRC) weapon. The funds will be directed to other programs.
The SLRC cannon was supposed to fire high-precision rockets for at least 1,852 kilometers. However, it is not included in the draft US defense budget for fiscal 2022. The explanation says that this direction will be completed in 2021 fiscal year. The funds will be redistributed to other projects of long-range ammunition, navigation systems and vehicles.
Naked Science recalls that the SLRC gun was supposed to be transported using a heavy wheeled tractor Oshkosh M1070 HETS (8 × 8).
Work on the SLRC began in 2018. Why the United States decided to abandon the project is unknown.
