Crusader 155mm Self Propelled Howitzer

I found cool article about Howitzer when I searched for Crusader. So I decided to do some research about this Crusader 155mm Self Propelled Howitzer.
The Crusader self-propelled howitzer was a result of the Crusader program launched by U.S. Army to make a replacement for the Paladin. The Crusader was planned to be fielded in 2009, but the program was terminated by the Department of the Defense due to its low efficiency for its cost. Even though the Crusader achieved firing rate of 10.4 rounds per minute in live firing trials in 2000,(which was a lot of improvement from Paladin's maximum firing rate 8 rounds per minute and sustained rate of fire of 1 round per 3 minutes) it had low mobility and precision. The Crusader can be found in Cannon Park at Fort Sill, Oklahoma.
