From the Defense Department-

We have fully completed the first generation C101A artillery piece, as well as the C101B artillery piece.

These pieces are essentialy the same, the only difference is the "B" model is the towed version whereas the "A" model is designed to be broken down and carried either by troop, truck or tank.

These guns are fully tested and functional, however we do not have the production facilities to build them. Therefore, we are offering the production rights for them. The bid will start at $500,000,000 USD

This is an unlimited production run for the winning nation. It will allow you to build either version A or B

Images of the production models can be found here
