Elbit has recently shown its turret prototype to the public, which was likely used to demonstrate its automatic loading system to the observers.
Other than the photo, no additional information was released, other than repeating the same that the acquisition of howitzers is the central project for the IDF for the following years.
However there is something to take from this photo.
First, it shows that the system itself will be turreted, and not open as was the ATMOS.
Second, we can see that the turret itself is rather short, so the ammo capacity may be a bit low.
What remains now for the program is to finalize the turret, select a platform (wheeled), integrate the turret into the platform, and name the vehicle.
