US Army's artillery range now extends 100 kilometers
The M1299 is a 155-mm self-propelled howitzer prototype developed by BAE Systems in 2019 under the Extended Range Cannon Artillery (ERCA) program. It is based on the M109A7 howitzer and was designed primarily to increase the effective range of the M109.

Their is also M777ER with a longer 55 caliber gun doubling its range.
Tanks, FP Defense News.
That project was cancelled btw.
It is great indeed, now it all depends on the manufacturing process and how fast they can be implemented?

Uh, it will be coming out of the automated 155mm barrel factory near West Point just like all the others... That factory can churn out barrels like no tomorrow. Their claim to fame is they can produce EVERY artillery barrel built by the allies and axis used during WWII without a single human hand touching a single barrel in under 9 months. This 58 Cal barrel is well over 20 years old now and the R&D testing was done going on 30 years ago. Testing my ass... it was tested fully over 20 years ago for future combat systems program which was canceled. This is called pork barrel spending.
