The SH-1 is a 155mm self-propelled howitzer developed by China North Industries Group Corporation (NORINCO) for the export market. The artillery system has been in development since 2002, the was first revealed during the 2007 Abu Dhabi International Defence Exhibition (IDEX 2007) held between 18 and 22 February. The vehicle is highly mobile with a maximum road speed of 90km/h. The artillery was not intended for the domestic market, but it may be adopted by the PLA in the future if proven to be a successful design.

中国SH-1是一种为外销市场由中国北方工业总公司（NORINCO）发展的155毫米自行榴弹炮。火炮系统从2002年以后处在发展中，在2月18日至22日之间的2007阿布扎比国际防卫展览（IDEX 2007）期间被首次展示。车辆高机动性具有90公里/小时最大公路速度。火炮不是为国内市场设计，但是如果证明是一个成功的设计它可能未来被PLA采用。

The main armament of the SH1 is a 155mm/52-calibre howitzer, which can fire a range of ammunitions developed by NORINCO, including: Extended-Range, Full-Bore, Rocket-Assisted, High-Explosive (ERFB-RA/HE) and Extended-Range Full-Bore, Base-Bleed, High-Explosive (ERFB-BB/HE). When using the ERFB-BB/HE round, the howitzer can reach a maximum range of 53km. The howitzer can also fire the 155mm semi-active laser-guided projectile developed by NORINCO based on the Russian Instrument Design Bureau (KBP) 152mm Krasnopol projectile. In addition, the howitzer is able to use the standard NATO 155mm ammunitions. The vehicle carries 20 rounds onboard. Secondary weapon includes a 12.7mm QJC88 anti-aircraft machine gun mounted on the roof of the driving cab.

SH1的主要武器是155毫米/52倍口径榴弹炮，能发射多种由中国北方工业总公司（NORINCO）发展的弹药，包括：增-程，全-内径，火箭助推，高爆（ERFB-RA/HE）弹药和增-程，全-内径，底-排，高爆（ERFB-BB/HE）弹药。当使用ERFB-BB/HE时，榴弹炮能到达最大射程53公里。榴弹炮也能发射155毫米半主动激光制导炮弹，是中国北方工业总公司（NORINCO）基于俄国仪器设计局（KBP）152毫米Krasnopol炮弹发展的。除此之外，榴弹炮能够使用标准北约155毫米弹药。车辆上车载携带20发弹药。次武器包括在驾驶室顶上安装的12.7毫米QJC88防空机枪。

The artillery system is mounted on a 6X6 wheeled chassis with a forward engine and an armour-protected driving cab. The vehicle can climb a 1.2m-high vertical obstacle, and has a maximum road speed of 90km/h. The vehicle is equipped with two hydraulically operated stabilisers which are lowered in preparation for the firing. The howitzer barrel is electric-operated, with an elevation of 0~70 degrees. The artillery system has a combat weight of 22 tonnes, and is operated by a crew of five.

火炮系统安装在6X6轮式底盘上，车辆采用前置发动机和装甲保护驾驶室。能攀越1.2 米高的垂直障碍，而且最大公路速度90公里/小时。车辆装备二个液压操作稳定器在准备发射时降下。榴弹炮的炮管电动-操作，具有0~70度俯仰角。火炮系统战斗重量22吨，并且由五名组员操作。

The SH1 is equipped with a computerised fire-control system, with a muzzle velocity sensor which feed the data directly to the fire-control computer. The artillery system is equipped with navigation, positioning, targeting, and communications systems, all of which adopt the modular design for easy maintenance and upgrade. The onboard communication system enables the artillery system to be connected into the C4ISR network of an artillery company or battalion for information sharing and automated command and control.

SH1装备一套计算机火控系统，用一个炮口速度传感器直接反馈数据到火控计算机。火炮系统装备导航，定位，瞄准和通信系统，全部采用模块化设计容易维护和升级。车载通信系统使火炮系统能够被连接到火炮连或营的C4ISR网络之内用于信息共享，自动化指挥和控制。
