PESA replaces hydraulic-based gun drive mechanisms
“The work on PESA is another example of providing best-of-breed technology and capability to deliver on a wide range of customer needs from electrical power, network computing, and advanced sensing,” said Leonardo DRS in a statement.
The company is a leading designer, developer, and integrator of sophisticated electrical, electromechanical, and electronic systems, subsystems, and assemblies across the U.S. military.
The electrically powered control system PESA is unique to the M109A7, designed to replace the previous hydraulic-based gun drive mechanisms as part of the broader Paladin Integrated Management (PIM) modernization effort.
