Paladin Alpha 7

(new drawing)

The Paladin Alpha 7 is also called the Paladin M109A7.  It is a step above the Paladin A6 that you see below.  The A7 has upgraded electronics.  It is actually a significant upgrade in many many ways from the A6.  It can fire at a maximum rate of 4-5 205 mm rounds per minute.  It has a "shoot and scoot" feature to help it avoid enemy counterfire.  The turret has electrical power - including an automatic loader.  The Paladin A7 has a firing range between 22 and 30 km depending on the type of ammunition. 

The Paladin A7 measures 9.7 meters or almost 32 feet long overall.  It is 3.9 meters or almost 13 feet wide.  It is 3.3 meters or almost 11 feet tall.  It has a mass of 35,380 kg. or 78,000 lbs.  It has a maximum speed of about 38 miles per hour.  It can move its turret and point it while moving.  It has a crew of four that will really benefit from added armor and modern computer and electronics systems.  The Paladin A7 has a 5000-gallon or 1893-liter fuel tank and a 600-horsepower engine.  It has a travel range of 214 miles.  By the way, the Paladin A7 has a power supply rated at 650 amps and 24 volts of DC power.  That is enough power to run everything including turret and gun elevation etc.  There is no hydraulics on the new Paladin A7.
