Nexter/KNDS is showcasing the wide range of artillery systems and 155mm shells offered by Nexter Arrowtech at the ongoing Eurosatory. At Eurosatory 2022, Nexter is showcased the design of the LU 220 explosive shell, which in the future will provide even greater range and terminal effect with a new architecture and greater explosive capacity, while maintaining a high level of precision and safety.
Nexter Arrowtech is also presenting its new "FB 375 Mk2" multimode artillery fuze.
The FB 375 Mk2 features an inductive fuze that can be programmed according to the mission, which will complete its range.
The CAESAR is a 155mm artillery system mounted on a truck chassis, which is the lightest in its class.
It is air transportable in an A400M or even a C130 for the 6x6 MkI version, is suitable for light infrastructure and consumes very little fuel.
The CAESAR is an excellent solution for high-intensity combat and can be loaded and unloaded in less than 45 seconds, fires 6 rounds per minute and replenishes very quickly (18 rounds/minute) in order to maintain its mobility, which is the only effective protection against modern guided munitions.
The CAESAR’s 155mm/52 calibre gun is the only one in the world to be 'long range proven' in conditions close to high intensity combat. It demonstrated this within Task Force Wagram in Iraq from 2016 to 2019 with 18,000 rounds fired in outdoor temperatures close to 50°C.
Different versions of the CAESAR have been ordered nine countries.
The first 6x6 version weighed only 18 tonnes, the CAESAR 8x8 has a higher ammunition payload and reinforced protection, while the latest 6x6 MkII version with reinforced protection and motorisation wasrecently ordered by France and Belgium.
The CAESAR fires the full range of 155mm 52-calibre ammunition (explosives, flares, smoke) developed and produced by Nexter Arrowtech, as well as modular charges, percussion caps and fuses.
The LU 211 shell, used in external theatres of operation, can engage targets in depth up to 40 km. It is also offered with an insensitive explosive charge, which reduces its vulnerability and the risk of accidents throughout its life cycle (storage, transport, use) without affecting its effectiveness.
Nexter Arrowtech also offers the BONUS shell, which deals with armoured threats, both static and moving, with a very high level of effectiveness.
Initially adopted by the French and Swedish forces, this intelligent shell has also been selected in recent years by several other foreign forces, notably European and American.
Nexter is also showcasing its KATANA shell which will offer its customers the means to treat high value targets with a level of precision of less than 10 metres, including in complex environments.
