Editing G7 howitzer (section)

==Potential customers==
In 2004, DLS partnered with [[General Dynamics|General Dynamics Land Systems]] (GDLS) to offer the gun in self-propelled form to the [[United States Army]]. GDLS provided an armoured vehicle (the [[Mowag Piranha|LAV III]]), while Denel provided a G7 mounted inside a specially-designed, unmanned turret. The combined system weighs only {{convert|17,500|kg|abbr=on}} when fully loaded with ammunition, making it light enough to be transportable inside a [[C-130 Hercules]] transport aircraft. The combination took part in a number of tests for the US Army. Though currently unfunded, the US Army has indicated a requirement for such a system to equip its [[Stryker]] Brigade.  The Strykers cannot use current self-propelled and towed howitzers as their weight is a limiting factor on the brigade's mobility.

Interest in the system has also been exhibited by the militaries of South Africa, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia. In addition, the [[United States Army]] (USA) and [[United States Marine Corps]] (USMC) have exhibited interest in the towed version as a possible replacement for their towed 105&nbsp;mm howitzer stocks.

In parallel with the G7's testing on the LAV-III Denel is also planning to fit it and its turret to a [[Rooikat AFV|Rooikat]] armoured vehicle for its offer to the [[South African Army]].
