The M52 is similar to the M44 chassis armed with a 155mm howitzer. Where the M44 has a fixed casemate, the M52 is armed with a 105mm howitzer in an enclosed turret with wider traverse limits than the casemate.
The chassis and drivetrain of the M52 are derived from the M41 Walker Bulldog light tank.
Secondary armament on the M52 is the 12.7mm M2HB heavy machine gun.
