Modern Cannons
Modern artillery represents the pinnacle of cannon technology, incorporating advanced materials, precision guidance systems, and computerized fire control. Today's cannons can accurately hit targets at distances exceeding 30 kilometers, with some systems capable of even greater ranges. The integration of GPS, laser guidance, and automated loading systems has transformed artillery into highly sophisticated weapons platforms.
Contemporary cannons are used in various roles, from field artillery supporting ground forces to naval guns protecting warships and coastal defense systems. The development of self-propelled artillery has increased mobility, while advanced ammunition types including precision-guided munitions have dramatically improved accuracy and effectiveness on the modern battlefield.
