Singapore Technologies Kinetics (STK) is carrying out feasibility studies on the 155 mm Advanced Mobile Gun System (AMGS). 


The AMGS is based on an 8x8 cross-country platform offering greater strategic mobility than a conventional tracked self-propelled (SP) artillery system and lower operating and support costs. 


Gross system weight is 28 tonnes, including crew and ammunition, with a maximum road speed of 80 km/h, with 30 km/h across country.
