Self-propelled howitzer 70 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.[243][244]

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.[245][246]

The base vehicle is unknown, but could include:

1050 (679 IFV)[251] Initially named AICS (Armoured Infantry Combat System), the programme intended to purchase up to 570 tracked vehicles.[252]

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.[253]

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 (JV) to design and to build 1,050 vehicles in 4 variants (for 16 configurations) based on Lynx KF41.

Leonardo-Rheinmetall JV was awarded a contract to supply 21 Lynx KF-41 IFV in November 2025, first delivery order of A2CS programme. The first vehicles were officially introduced in Italian service on 27 January 2026.[254]
