Modernization efforts focus on decreasing dependency on outside survey and meteorological support agencies. The Gun Laying and Positioning System (GLPS) allows towed and M109A2-5 units to lay artillery batteries without survey teams. The Hydrogen Generator (HG) gives meteorological teams the ability to produce hydrogen.
