The GC-45 (Gun, Canada, 45-calibre) is a 155 mm howitzer designed by Gerald Bull's Space Research Corporation (SRC) in the 1970s. Versions were produced by a number of companies during the 1980s, notably in Austria and South Africa. The most publicized use of the design was in Iraq, where the GHN-45 variant used by some Iraqi artillery units had a longer range than any coalition cannon systems. This initially caused considerable worry on the part of the allied forces in the Persian Gulf War.

rdfs:comment	Die GC-45 (GunCanada-45, genannt „Bull“ nach dem Konstrukteur) ist eine gezogene Feldhaubitze des Kalibers 155 mm aus kanadischer Produktion. Obwohl die GC-45 nur in geringer Stückzahl produziert wurde, gilt sie als wegweisende Konstruktion für die Artillerie der 1990er-Jahre.

(en) El GC-45 (Gun, Canadá, calibre 45) es un obús de 155 mm diseñado por la Corporación de Investigación Espacial (SRC) de Gerald Bull en la década de 1970. Varias empresas produjeron versiones durante la década de 1980, especialmente en Austria y Sudáfrica. El uso más publicitado del diseño fue en Irak, donde la variante GHN-45 utilizada por algunas unidades de artillería iraquí tenía un alcance más largo que cualquier sistema de cañones de la coalición. Esto inicialmente causó una preocupación considerable por parte de las fuerzas aliadas en la Guerra del Golfo. (es) Il GHN-45 (Gun Howitzer Noricum 45) è un obice della Noricum austriaca, derivato dal precedente dell'ing. Gerald Bull. La canna è lunga 45 calibri (circa 7 m), superiore a quasi tutte le armi comparabili dello stesso periodo, le quali avevano canne di 39 calibri (circa 6 m). Questo non aumentava la gittata (18 km), né la precisione delle munizioni standard, come l', ma con gli speciali proiettili ERFB (Extended Range, Full Bore, dotati di alette invece della normale corona che aderisce alle rigature della canna), aumentava la gittata, ancor di più con l'aggiunta di proiettili assistiti a razzo e/o con base bleed, portandola fino a 39 km, ma diminuendo la precisione. Fu usato dall'Iraq durante la guerra Iran-Iraq e la guerra del Golfo, dove la sua gittata superiore alle armi della coalizio (it) GC-45 (Gun, Canada, 45-calibre) – haubicoarmata holowana kalibru 155 mm. W 1975 roku Gerald Bull, założyciel , rozpoczął prace nad nowym działem o donośności większej od dział produkowanych w 70. XX wieku. Zwiększenie donośności miało być osiągnięte dzięki wydłużeniu lufy i zastosowaniu granatów artyleryjskich o specjalnej konstrukcji. GC-45 miała łoże dolne z dwoma ogonami i cztery koła jezdne. Lufa o długości 45 kalibrów była zakończona hamulcem wylotowym, samowzmocniona. Koła resorowane, w położeniu bojowym haubicoarmata spoczywa na opuszczanej platformie. (pl)
