A pioneer in its category, this howitzer equipped with a Caesar artillery system is the result of Nexter's exceptional know-how in the artillery field. Currently deployed in Irak, the Caesar has participated in almost all recent overseas operations of the French Army during which its great precision has been fully demonstrated. It also equips the land forces of 4 other countries, including Indonesia, who renewed its trust in the Nexter Group this year, and Denmark will soon be on board as well.
A 155 mm / 52 caliber artillery system mounted on a standard truck, the CAESAR provides exceptional firepower and is easy to move and deploy in the theater of operations thanks to its excellent tactical, operational and strategic mobility: It can drive on difficult terrain or on the road (including very winding roads) and can be transported by train, landing vessel, C-130 or A400M. The Caesar is a system with exceptional fire power and precision. The joint demonstration of the Caesar and the A400M at the Airbus stand attests to the complementarity of the two systems for the benefit of the forces who will be using them in various theaters. Gilles Sarreau, Director of Systems and Programs for the Nexter Group, confirmed that the "air portability of the Caesar in the A400M is an additional advantage. It is complimentary to all the qualities of our artillery systems, used every day by the land forces equipped." |
