RCH 155 combines the automated Artillery Gun Module with the Boxer wheeled chassis. The crew remains in the protected vehicle while the unmanned turret handles the gun.

The RCH 155 ( Remote Controlled Howitzer 155 mm ) is a wheeled self-propelled howitzer developed by Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (now KNDS Deutschland ).
The RCH 155 Module takes the firepower and the range of the PzH 2000 by using its gun ( 155 mm L/52 ), and combines it with an automated and remotely controlled gun module.
The RCH-155 module is very similar to the Artillery Gun Module (AGM, Artillerie-Geschütz-Modul ), but has a lower profile. The AGM was designed to have the firepower of the PzH 2000 in an air-portable package with the A400M aircraft this was possible when installed on an ASCOD 2 platform, known as the DONAR .
Framework agreement approved by the German Budget Office for up to 500 RCH-155 in December 2025.
Firm orders: 80 in December 2025 (€1 billion), delivery for 2028-2030.

The system in detail
A tall rear module carries the long 155 mm barrel above the eight-wheel drive platform. Travel dimensions include the complete gun installation.1
The manufacturer lists automated fuze setting and ammunition handling. Advertised range examples explicitly depend on the projectile type.1
This profile uses the 2024 Boxer-based brochure. Tracked AGM installations and other proposed chassis require separate dimension and mobility records.1
Compare the stated magazine and ammunition type with equivalent systems. Demonstration claims and catalogue performance still require review before being treated as independently verified results.1

UkraineReported count for RCH 155. Country-wide list; no individual service specified. 1 distinct count cell(s) from the same source list; shared rowspan cells counted once. Retired, wholly reserve and on-order rows are excluded; the reported count retains any explicitly mixed stock scope in the quoted row. Count column(s): number: 36. Origin: Germany. The listed variants/roles are the scope, not an immediately deployable count. The components do not establish one inventory census date; the stored date is the retrieved source snapshot.
