The Linkedin post was shared by the U.S. Army CCDC Army Research Laboratory, said that the U.S. Army hosted a US-UK Modernization Demonstration Event Feb. 20 at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, to identify capability collaboration to the British Army.

“Officials from Army Futures Command, U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command, its centers and lab, briefed interoperability to minimize risks of #modernization divergence,” said in the post.

Also was posted some photos on which can replace the posters with information about the long-range cannon that can shoot a projectile 1,000 nautical miles.

The Strategic Long Range Cannon (SLRC) is comprised of a weapon, prime mover and trailer, projectile and propelling charge capable of delivering massed fires at strategic ranges for multi-domain operations.

The SLRC field battery will be included 4 special platforms with cannons and heavy equipment transporters. Also added that the crew of super cannon is 8 personnel per platform.

Could a naval version be used on a Zumwalt perhaps?

edit: the photo on the bottom right is an M65 atomic cannon. Is this article legit or fake?

I suppose there will be another few multimillionaires in US. And project will be closed in 10 or so years.

Oh yeah, the twitter account added that group of photo's.

Assuming this is legit, naval versions of this canon would open up some new possibilities such as a modern day battleship.
