Abstract

The article offers information several truck-mounted self-propelled (SP) artillery systems. The 152-mm Dana developed by ZTS for the Czechoslovakian Army in the 1970's was the first modern wheeled SP artillery system to enter service in Europe. Nexter's Caesar mounts the upgraded 155-mm/52-caliber ordnance of Nexter's TRF1 towed gun on a 6 by 6 chassis. BAE Systems' Archer can obtain a top speed of 70 kilometers per hour.
