Nexter to Deliver 18 More CAESAR to French Army
Nexter was recently notified by the French Ministry of the Armed Forces through the Direction Générale de l’Armement (DGA) of the order for new CAESAR artillery systems.
The systems will be delivered to the French Army by summer 2024 at the latest. Nexter, together with the DGA, have demonstrated great responsiveness in setting up the production launch of 18 CAESAR systems within a few weeks.
To allow a rapid availability while awaiting the entry into service of the CAESAR MkII, which will progressively equip the army’s artillery regiments from 2026 onwards, the Ministry of the Armed Forces has chosen the CAESAR MkI.
The CAESAR MkI is the first version of this 155mm artillery system mounted on a truck chassis. Being the lightest in its class (18t), it has a very low logistical weight and demonstrates tactical, operational and strategic mobility.
The CAESAR is characterised by a fast battery start-up (less than one minute), a rate of fire of six rounds/minute and a very fast resupply (18 rounds/minute).
The selection of the CAESAR by several partner countries, such as Denmark, the Czech Republic, Belgium and Lithuania, further shows the demand for the cutting-edge equipment.
