HE-EXR N ammo 155 mm HE-ExR long range artillery round concept developed in Extreme Range Concept program. The HE- -ExR is ramjet technology. for artillery range extension. Nammo declares that HE-ExR shell fired from standard 155 mm howitzer with L/52 barrel could reach up to 100 km range. The new technology – a type of air breathing system where the shell has an internal rocket engine that takes in oxy- gen through the nose of the projectile and in turn uses it to burn the propellant, solid hydrocarbon fuel, thus generating thrust. HE-ExR will bring the range in the three-digit dimension, the Mach 3 velocity being ma- intained for around 50 seconds, a ramjet being inherently self-regulating maintaining a constant Mach number independently of altitude, allowing the round to hit a target at over 100 km. The serial production should be started in 2023-2024. NEXTER CAESAR 1 55 mm Nexter Caesar self-propelled howitzer in configura- tion which was chosen in 2017 by Danish armed forces.
