Multiple launch rocket systems
M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System M270 MLRS Danish.jpg Flag of the United States.svg United States Multiple launch rocket system 1 (mothballed)Taken out of active service in 2005, and have been sitting in storage since then. This was largely a result of Norway signing the Convention on Cluster Munitions, as well as not being able to afford to upgrade the system to fire M31 GMLRS at the time. [174]

In 2014, a decision was made to scrap the M270s, but it was halted before it could be carried out. [175] [176]

12 acquired. 3 donated to Ukraine via UK in June 2022 [177] Another 8 donated in May 2023. [178]

Self-propelled gun
M109A3GN M109A3GNM.JPG Flag of the United States.svg United States Self-propelled gun 33 in storage (2023)126 M109Gs were acquired from West Germany between 1969 and 1971. They were then upgraded to the M109A3GN configuration during the latter half of the 1980s. In 2006, there were still 56 M109A3GNs in the Army's inventory, meaning that at least 70 SPGs had been scrapped after the end of the Cold War.

14 M109A3GNs received additional upgrades in 2007, and were designated M109A3GNM. The upgrade includes, among other things, new intercom and new navigation and positioning systems. The M109A3GNMs were the only SPGs that remained in active service (12 with Brigade Nord's Artillery Battalion and 2 with the Norwegian Army Weapons School) with the remainder of the M109s having been put in storage by 2006. [179]
