Airport logistic trucks
Shelter Carrier TruckFlag of Italy.svg Italy Tactical Container Truck Tekne shelter carrier truck with KRONOS radar for CAMM-ER air defence - Italian Air Force - 1 (cropped).jpg Manufactured by Tekne and Astra, derived from the Astra HD9 8×8 "Pipe Carrier". Low cab, able to enter a C-130. And its main interest is that it can get a container in an aircraft like the C-130 without needing a machine. Its hook makes it easy. This is a very convenient logistics truck.

Some are equipped with a crane. [169]

1050 (679 IFV) [234] Initially named AICS (Armoured Infantry Combat System), the programme intended to purchase up to 570 tracked vehicles. [235]

The programme was renamed A2CS in January 2024 with the intent to purchase 1,050 vehicles in a first phase for a budget of €5.2 billion over 14 years, and a lifetime cost estimated at €15 billion. [236]

The intention is to replace the Dardo with a new tracked IFV, to use this platform for other roles.

In terms of technical capabilities, the Italian Army is interested in a vehicle with modular armour, open architecture, command and control capability and drone management (air and ground drones).

Italy intends to collaborate with other European countries on that programme.

Leonardo and Rheinmetall signed a joint venture to design and to build 1,050 vehicles in 4 variants (for 16 configurations) based on Lynx KF41.

Self-propelled howitzer As part of the modernisation of the artillery, the army is looking for a wheeled howitzer to complement its PzH 2000 and replace the FH70. [244] [245]

In October 2024, the RCH 155 was selected by the government. A budget request was made to the parliament for a value of €202 million to order a first batch of RCH 155 and set up the logistics, maintenance, training programme, resupply vehicles and recovery vehicles. A requested budget of €1.608 billion for a second batch was also requested to the parliament. [246] [247]

The base vehicle is unknown, but could include:

  Equipment in development financed by the government, but no order yet, or competition launched
  Included in the parliament budget, and budget predictions, but no contract has been signed yet
  Potential equipment considered in a middle-term future
