Today, U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) is conducting developmental testing of a low-profile variant (LP-CROWS) that will integrate the system into the M109A7 Paladin self-propelled howitzer and the M992A3 Carrier Ammunition Tracked vehicles.

Another new feature to the CROWS being tested at YPG will give the Paladin counter-small, unmanned aircraft system (C-sUAS) capability.

“We’re working with PM Crew Served Weapons who have worked with other program offices to put radar onto the CROWS to detect unmanned aerial systems,” said English. “Now we’ll have detected and defeat capability under closed hatch operations.”
