The turret of the self-propelled howitzer is mounted on tracked chassis that incorporates T-72 and T-80 tank components.

The weapon has an automatic loading system and automated fire control equipment that provide complete autonomy of the weapon in combat operations.

Automated fire control equipment is integrated with automated artillery units control systems ("Mashina-M", "Faltset-M", "Kapustnik"), reconnaissance systems including small-size reconnaissance and surveillance complex with Pchela-1 Remote-Controlled Unmanned Vehicle.
