The Aleksandar is a wheeled self-propelled howitzer armed with one 155mm 52 caliber cannon which is also used on the previous version of the NORA B-52 which is now service in Asia , Middle East and in Serbia.

With the new Aleksandar, the Serbian Company Yugoimport will provide a new self-propelled howitzer similar to the Archer wheeled howitzer manufactured by BAE Systems.

The layout of the Aleksandar is similar to the NORA B-52 using the same Tatra 8x8 military truck chassis, but the rear turret is removed and replaced by a full automatic loading system mounted at the rear of main gun which has a total of 12 rounds ready to the fire.

To increase the speed for the reload of ammunition, 12 additional ammunition are stored in a storage box located at the rear of the crew cab. In a few seconds, the automatic loading system can be reloaded and continue firing operations.

The Aleksandar has a maximum firing range of 32,5 km with standard ammunition and 52 km with the 155 mm HE ERFB RA/BB (VLAP), a new generation of very long range artillery projectiles designed for importantly improving operational range performances of a modern towed and self-propelled 155 mm gun - howitzers with 39, 45 and 52 caliber barrel length.
