RCH 155 – ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST ADVANCED BARRELLED ARTILLERY SYSTEMS

The new protected howitzer RCH 155 (Remote Controlled Howitzer 155mm) combines
the fire power and range of the automatic and remote-controllable Artillery Gun
Module (AGM) with the protection and mobility of the field-tested BOXER wheeled
armoured vehicle.

 * Home
 * Systems & products
 * Wheeled vehicles
 * Artillery
 * RCH 155


THE RCH 155 IS A COMBINATION OF AUTOMATED ARTILLERY FIREPOWER AND PROTECTED
WHEELED MOBILITY.

A large ammunition supply and rapid replenishment, the stable gun platform,
maximum aiming precision, autoloader, combined with autonomy in navigation and
fire control make the RCH 155 the new standard for modern wheeled barrelled
artillery.

Largely logistically identical to the already introduced BOXER system

Maximum mobility on and off the road

Heavily armoured crew compartment for a two-person crew

High firepower

The 155mm/L52 PzH 2000 gun is state-of-the-art, in line with the Joint
Ballistics Memorandum of Understanding (JBMOU) and currently boasts a range of
approx. 54 km (depending on ammunition).

Ballistics Memorandum of Understanding (JBMOU) and currently boasts a range of
approx. 54 km (depending on ammunition).

FACTS ABOUT THE RCH 155

Maximum fully automated artillery efficiency and network-based system
architecture with great potential for expansion

The synthesis of the time-tested NATO-JBMoU 155mm/L52 main gun and the unmanned
AGM on BOXER chassis results in a unique level of artillery effectiveness with a
present range of up to 54 km through 360° azimuth and all charge and elevation
ranges without requiring support.

Developed and refined from  joint operations, the complete autonomy of the
overall system in command, navigation and fire control, as well as its
system-inherent stability open up entirely new mission options (such as firing
on moving targets, encampment defence, etc.).

Thanks to its network-based system architecture, the RCH 155 will also be
possible to implement autonomous driving and action (remote-controlled) in the
future.

The fire control system and ammunition matrix can support already introduced as
well as future NATO ammunition types (JBMOU-compatible).

These special characteristics make the RCH 155 the world’s most future-oriented
barrelled artillery system.


EQUIPMENT FEATURES OF THE RCH 155

 * Superior combat range (currently < 54 km) and large battlefield coverage
   thanks to the 155mm/L52 gun
 * Combat load with 30 primed projectiles
 * Fully automated operation with degraded operating modes
 * Fully automated projectile loading system with inductive ignition programming
 * Fully automated loading system for modular charges
 * Fully automatic electrical gun laying system
 * Optional capabilities for direct laying via optronics
 * Fire control computer with integrated ballistics calculation and radio data
   transmission connection to an artillery control system
 * High-precision navigation system, with or without GPS support

 * Optional all-round self-protection with weapon station and smoke grenade
   launching system
 * NBC protection and ventilation system
 * Cooling and heating system for AGM  and crew
 * Automatic fire detection and extinguishing system in power pack compartment
   and a fire extinguishing system for the crew compartment
 * Built-in test equipment system (BITE)

A systematic development of the PzH 2000, the RCH 155 is a lighter, more
flexible and long-range artillery weapon for all areas of use which provides a
high level of protection for the crew.

In addition to high flexibility and top mobility, the BOXER drive module of the
 RCH 155 provides its crew with exceptional survivability and superior
protection from mines, IEDs and ballistic threats.


RCH 155 – THE KEY ELEMENT FOR FUTURE JOINT OPERATIONS

Increased protection for the crew by separating the crew compartment and
operator stations while retaining the artillery capabilities of the PzH 2000.
