5. CAESAR (France)
French inventiveness in mobile artillery systems is embodied in the CAESAR (CAmion Equipped with an Artillery System). Through its advanced fire control system, this truck-mounted 155mm howitzer combines mobility with extraordinary accuracy. Using conventional ammunition, the CAESAR can have a CEP of less than 0.5% of range; with guided weaponry, its accuracy increases still more. The computer-operated positioning system and automated aiming mechanism of the system allow quick deployment and exact target engagement. In both conventional and asymmetric combat, its six rounds per minute firing capability combined with accuracy makes it especially deadly.
