The PCL-09, exported as CS/SH1, is a Chinese truck-mounted howitzer developed by Norinco for use by the People's Liberation Army Ground Force. It was first commissioned in 2009 with a 122 mm gun-howitzer with an effective range of 27 km (17 mi) and a rate of fire of 6–8 rounds per minute. Mounted on a Shaanxi SX2150 6×6 military truck,[1] it is also equipped with the satellite navigation system BeiDou.[2][3] It was used for the first time during a military exercise of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation in 2010.[4]
