General Dynamics European Land Systems (GDELS) has made headlines with the unveiling of the “NEMESIS,” a cutting-edge self-propelled howitzer that promises to enhance artillery capabilities in Europe. The reveal took place at the FEINDEF defense expo in Madrid, where industry leaders and defense enthusiasts gathered to witness the latest innovations in military technology.
NEMESIS is engineered to deliver improved firepower, demonstrating significant advancements in high mobility and automation features. At the heart of this tracked combat system is a 155mm/L52 fully automated gun module developed by KNDS, which allows for rapid and precise targeting. One of the standout features of the NEMESIS is its turret design, enabling it to fire in any direction while on the move, adding to its battlefield versatility.
Designed for operations with minimal personnel, the system is primarily intended to be operated by a crew of two, though it can accommodate a third member if necessary. Notably, there is also the option for the system to be run completely unmanned, reflecting a growing trend in military technology towards automation and remote operations.
The unveiling of the NEMESIS marks a significant development in how artillery systems may operate in the future, highlighting ongoing efforts to modernize military capabilities and respond to evolving operational demands. Resources and information about the new howitzer can be found in “NextGen Defense,” which covers the implications of this innovation for European defense strategies.
