A cannon, in use since the 16th century, with
a particularly steep angle of fire. It was
much developed in World War I for demolishing
the fortresses of the trench system. The
multinational NATO FH70 field howitzer is
mobile and fires, under computer control,
three 43 kg/95 lb shells at 32 km/20 mi range
in 15 seconds.
