US EditionUK and Germany sign $70 million joint deal for mobile artillery systems
The £52 million contract funds an Early Capability Demonstrator and two test systems to enhance artillery mobility and rapid strike, reflecting lessons from the Ukraine conflict.
- Under the agreement, the British Army will soon receive an Early Capability Demonstrator of the RCH 155 on Boxer, with two systems going to Germany for shared testing.
- The purchase feeds the British Army's Mobile Fires Platform programme, following Archer interim system procurement after transferring AS90 guns to Ukraine, with lessons from the war emphasizing rapid relocation and long-range shooting.
- Mounted on the Boxer, the RCH 155 on Boxer operates with a two-person crew thanks to automated loading and fire control, delivering eight rounds per minute and repositioning immediately.
- Under the 2024 Trinity House agreement, the Ministry of Defence said the deal supports the Strategic Defence Review's `defence as an engine for growth` premise but is an early-stage capability demonstrator.
- Officials argue the joint UK‑Germany procurement offers better value through shared testing and evaluation, and Edward Cutts said it accelerates delivery more efficiently than either nation alone.
