What is the maximum terrain slope for the M119A3 with SLOS?

The maximum terrain slope for the M119A3 with SLOS (Self-Leveling Orientation System) is 220 mils. This figure indicates the capability of the M119A3 howitzer to operate effectively on sloped terrain. The SLOS helps the crew to accurately position the artillery piece by accounting for the slope of the terrain, ensuring that the gun can achieve proper elevation and azimuth for accurate firing. Operating on slopes beyond this limit could compromise the stability of the howitzer and affect its fire control accuracy, which is critical during artillery operations. The ability to effectively use the M119A3 on slopes up to this maximum ensures versatility and effectiveness in various battlefield conditions.
