Calibre
Line items supplied in 155 mm, each with a dedicated page carrying the technical data available for that item so a tender line can be matched by designation before any correspondence begins. The same calibre appears under several names depending on the army and the standard; all of them are listed below and all reach these items. Quotations are issued to government end-users and licensed entities against a government-issued export licence and a verified End-User Certificate.
