Shelter Carrier Truck  Italy Tactical Container Truck

(Truck type illustration, without pipe structure, with standard container capacity)

Manufactured by Tekne and Astra, derived from the Astra HD9 8x8 "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.[138]

(+ 3 on option)

Replacement of the Aspide with the GRIFO in the army (confirmed in 2022) and a comparable system in the air force, the MAADS.[158][159]

Both systems are equipped with the Albatros NG missile (CAMM-ER) by MBDA Italia, which is also to be used by the Italian Navy, replacing the Aster 15. For the army, it's equipped with a radar X-TAR3D by Rheinmetall Air Defence Italy (former Oerlikon Contraves), and network capable a command post operation module Forza NEC..[159]

It is also planned to enable the missile CAMM-ER to be used on the SAMP/T batteries. Budget €456.3 million for 6 batteries and the munitions. Option for 3 additional batteries, and additional missiles for €106.3 million.[159]

The total cost of the AW249 was announced to be €2.7 billion in total, it includes the development cost of €487 million.

1000 [167] Initially named AICS (Armoured Infantry Combat System), the programme intended to purchase up to 570 tracked vehicles.[168]

The programme was renamed A2CS in January 2024 with the intent to purchase 1,000 vehicles in a first phase for a budget of €5.2 billion over 14 years, and a lifetime cost estimated at €15 billion.[167]

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. There are various options on the table.

  • Leonardo and KNDS signed a strategic alliance in 2023. A possibility is a collaboration on the vehicle designed by CIO (Consorzio Iveco-Oto Melara) which is partially owned by Leonardo. CIO revealed renderings of their successor to the Dardo.[169]
  • Rheinmetall and its Italian subsidiaries openly mentioned their interest in that programme with the KF-41 Lynx.[170]

Among vehicles that weren't officially mentioned that could be considered are:

  • The Boxer tracked vehicle as there is the strategic alliance between Leonardo and KNDS. And mission modules already exist for all expected variants.
  • CV90
  • ASCOD 2
Freccia
 Italy Variants not defined yet 180 Third batch of 180 Freccia EVO approved in pluriannual program 2022-2024.

300 additional to the 330 already ordered have been approved for an expected budget of €1.034 billion. Among the 300, 120 exploration vehicles are already confirmed (see above in green line). The rest is expected to be more modern variants of the existing ones.[171]

Self-propelled howitzer 21 As part of the modernisation of the artillery, the army is looking for a wheeled howitzer to complement its PzH 2000.[177][178]

Potential candidates are mentioned on in the pictures column. The RCH-155 would be a likely candidate as it is a derivative of the PzH 2000 already in service in the Italian Army.
