    U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground conducts developmental testing of multiple facets of Extended Range Cannon Artillery (ERCA), from the artillery shells to the longer cannon tube and larger firing chamber the improved howitzer will need to accommodate them. YPG has also conducted extensive developmental testing of prototypes of the XM 1299 self-propelled howitzer, and recently hosted the third Soldier Touchpoint of the system held at the proving ground. This event marked the first time that Soldiers have been able to drive the vehicle in realistic conditions in the natural environment.
