Colombia, through the artillery weapon of its Army (EJC) and in development of the Sovereignty Project, has selected the Nexter Caesar 6×6 type howitzer of 155×52 millimeters as its future self-propelled artillery system (APP), with the intention of being able to constitute at least one battery with four (04) pieces.
The decision was made after the officers in charge of the Sovereignty Project, made two technical presentations to the general corps of the artillery weapon, the first of them on April 22 and the last on May 4, where the evaluation and analysis matrices were explained, in order to determine the PPP system that allows with greater efficiency to maintain the “interoperability and standardization” with the means that already equip this specialty of the EJC.
