The company stated that they aimed to combine the advantages of the ZUZANA 2 and EVA 155mm self-propelled howitzers by mounting the system on a 6×6 truck. The BIA is lighter than the 155mm ZUZANA 2 and offers greater mobility while maintaining the same firepower. Compared to the 155mm SpGH EVA, the BIA has more ammunition capacity and provides better protection for crew with an armoured cabinet resistant to light calibre bullets and artillery shell splinters.
