Tracked Boxer with RCH 155

Ukraine has demonstrated the importance of mobile artillery systems, which must also be available in sufficient numbers. As the Russians like to say, “Artillery is the queen of the battlefield.” While Germany is now introducing the RCH 155 on the Boxer chassis, something else is evident at AUSA 2025: The RCH155 mobile howitzer, delivered by Rheinmetall in partnership with KNDS, brings ready-now transformational capabilities to the Army’s evolving division-level artillery formations. Mounted on the combat-proven Boxer vehicle, this automated 155mm/L52 cannon system offers unmatched mobility, survivability, and range, going beyond 58km with Rheinmetall's advanced munitions. Its 2-person crew, shoot-on-the-move ability, and NATO interoperability directly support the Army’s Cannon-Delivered Area Effects and Long-Range Precision Fires strategies. The RCH155 was recently selected by the UK and Germany as their new cannon artillery system and will be fielded by the Ukrainian Army in the near future.

Rheinmetall’s world-class L52 155mm cannon, featured on the RCH155 system and others, can also be seen on the BAE AUSA booth #925 integrated onto an M109A7 demonstrating a ready-now solution to deliver a vitally needed long range fires capability upgrade to the Paladin system.
