Self-propelled Batignolles-Châtillon 155 mm
In 1954, the project of an ACS with a rotary turret was considered, but in 1955 it was decided to install a 155 mm howitzer on the Batignolles-Chatillon chassis. This was the logical consequence of the abandonment of assault guns. Batignolles-Chatillon was already working on such a vehicle, so Lorraine's project was discontinued. Both used a similar, if not the same, 155mm howitzer with 28 rounds carried on the vehicle. The main armament was also complemented with a 20mm autocannon.
The 155-mm self-propelled artillery mount was developed by the French company Batignolles-Chatillon after the Second World War. Construction began in 1955 on the basis of the chassis of the American tank M-47 "Patton II". The rotary turret differed from its own class artillery systems. In 1958, the development of a tower for this ACS with an automatic loader began, but, due to the abandonment of the project in 1959, not a single real working prototype was built - everything was limited to a wooden model.
