Artillery officer (self-propelled artillery system (SPAS) use his range heavy armored artillery truck, and unit can support to towed and artillery (support class) units.
Artillery unit has great fire power (155mm or 152mm cannon), unit can destroy to infantry and armor units, including it's can destroyed to combat outpost (lvl 1 to 3). His has also LMG or HMG for self defence.
Unit can moved fast on road and off road, and including all kind types terrain areas, for no any problems.
I finded 6x different officer artillery unit:
WEST OFFICER UNITS:
Brutus (US)
The Brutus
is fitted with an M776 155 mm/L39 cannon. The same ordnance is used
by the
M777 lightweight field howitzer. The cannon can traverse
through 360 degrees.
The Brutus uses the same 155
ammunition of the M777 howitzer. Maximum range of fire is over 24 km
with a standard M795 high explosive round. Rocket-assisted shell has
a maximum range of 30 km. The Brutus is also
compatible with
M982 Excalbur GPS-guided projectiles that have a
range of 39-40 km.
Maximum rate of fire is 5 rounds per minute. Sustained rate is 2 rounds per minute.
The Brutus is operated by a crew of 5-7 men. In case of emergency it can operate with a reduced crew of 5 men. In contrast an M777 field howitzer requires a crew of 8.
This truck-mounted artillery system has much faster reaction time. It needs less time to emplace, shoot and displace than traditional towed field howitzers. Shoot-and-scoot capability greatly improves survivability of such artillery systems. Once a couple of shells are fired the Brutus can rapidly leave its firing position in order to avoid counter-battery fire of attack drones. In most cases the Brutus can leave its firing position before enemy units can detect its position and return fire.
This artillery system is based on an M1083 military truck. This 6x6 vehicle is widely used by the US Army. The truck can be fitted with an armored cab. Due to its mobility the Brutus can keep pace with maneuver units.
CAESER 8x8 (France (US army buy from France, after testing others SPAS units)
This new
artillery system can support rapid deployment forces.
This truck-mounted artillery system is fitted with a 155 mm/L52 howitzer, which is capable of direct and indirect firing. The CAESAR 8x8 has a brand new fully automated ammunition loading system. It is operated by a crew of 2-3 men. Maximum rate of fire is 6 rounds per minute. Though the CAESAR 8x8 is also proposed with a semi-automatic loading system, which requires a crew of 4-5 men.
The CAESAR 8x8 fires all standard NATO 155 mm ammunition, including ordinary and rocket-assisted HE-FRAG rounds, cargo rounds with anti-tank or fragmentation bomblets, smoke and illumination rounds. It is also capable of firing BONUS or SPACIDO precision-guided anti-tank munitions. The Bonus round carries two smart anti-tank submunitions to a range of 34 km. Maximum range of fire is 42 km with rocket-assisted HE-FRAG projectile and a whooping 55 km with a VLAP projectile. Range of direct fire is up to 2 km.
The CAESAR 8x8 is capable of Multiple-Round Simultaneous Impact (MRSI) firing. It can launch a couple of projectiles, each in different trajectories, so that all of the shells arrive on target at the same time. A single artillery system can land on target with no warning multiple shells. Such way of firing can be very effective. Furthermore the CAESAR 8x8 has a brief in and out of action times and can be used on shoot-and-scoot missions in order to avoid counter battery fire. It takes only 60 seconds to prepare this artillery system for firing or leave the firing position. Within 2 minutes the CAESAR 8x8 can fire 6 rounds and leave its position.
The new truck-mounted howitzer is based on a Tatra T815-7 8x8 chassis. It has higher payload rating and cross-country mobility than the original CAESAR, based on 6x6 chassis. The 8x8 version can carry almost twice more ammunition (30 rounds opposed to 18).
The CAESAR 8x8 is available with 2- or 4-door armored cab. It provides protection for the crew against small arms fire and artillery shell splinters. Weight of this artillery system ranges from 28.4 to 30.2 t, depending on its armor configuration. Maximum level of ballistic protection is against 7.62x51 mm armor-piercing rounds. Maximum level of mine protection is against landmines and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) with explosive power equivalent to 6 kg of TNTX. A 12.7 mm machine gun can be mounted on top of the roof for self-protection. Anti-IED device is proposed as an option.
Vehicle is powered by an unspecified turbocharged diesel engine, developing around 400 hp. Vehicle has all-wheel drive chassis and employs unique Tatra's independent suspension with backbone tube frame and swinging half-axles. Each wheel moves up and down independently, which allows exceptional cross country mobility and higher speeds on rough roads. This unique chassis has been constantly developed and improved by Tatra for more than 80 years. Vehicle is also fitted with a central tyre inflation system.
This artillery system can be airlifted by an Airbus A400M, Boeing C17 Globemaster III, or Ilyushin Il-76 military transport aircraft. A typical battery should consists of around 8 CAESAR 8x8 truck mounted howitzers. Each of them will be escorted by an associated ammunition resupply vehicle.
