Built on proven artillery systems such as the AMF3 gun, the 155 GCT AUF1 self-propelled gun and the 155 TRF1 towed gun, CAESAR is the optimum combination of their features.
Versatility, mobility, easy to operate, combat readiness and survivability are the key features of this new 155 mm/52-caliber weapon system which is fully interoperable with the NATO 39 cal. equipment and 52 cal. JB MoU.
From a mobility and maintenance viewpoint, the self-propelled artillery systems are penalized both by their weight and their tracked chassis.
Towed guns are disadvantaged in terms of manœuvrability and survivability by their size and their design. The genuinely versatile CAESAR® as to it, fills the gap with the innovative solutions it offers and meets the operational requirements, whatever the conflict level, the theatre of operations and the nature of forces involved.
CAESAR can support all types of motorised, mechanised and armoured units, including rapid deployment forces.
CAESAR offers enhanced firepower through quicker response, longer range and improved accuracy. It covers larger areas with fewer guns and favours initiative, maneuvering and quick reaction time while minimizing risks.
CAESAR is effective in each fire mission such as: direct support fire, in-depth action fire, counterbattery fire and even in coastal defence missions.
