Wheeled platforms allow the French CAESAR (CAmion Equipé d'un Système d'ARtillerie) to mix mobility with firepower. This 155mm howitzer kept on a 6x6 truck chassis provides extraordinary strategic mobility while preserving artillery accuracy. With regular ammo, the device can fire six shots per minute and attain ranges up to 42 kilometres. Expeditionary forces would find CAESAR's light weight design perfect for fast air transportation. Improved armour protection and an automated loading system abound in the most recent model.
