(+ 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.[210][211]

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..[211]

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.[211]

The total cost of the AW249 was announced to be €2.7 billion in total, it includes the development cost of €487 million.
Freccia     Italy Reconnaissance 120 [215]
Main battle tank     Germany   Italy Main Battle Tank 132 In October 2023, the parliament confirmed the intention to purchase new main battle tanks. A budget of €100 million is forecasted for 2024, and up to €4 billion until 2037, and €8.25 billion over its lifetime.[216][217]

1000 [218](679 IFV)[219] Initially named AICS (Armoured Infantry Combat System), the programme intended to purchase up to 570 tracked vehicles.[220]

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.[218]

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.[221]
  • Rheinmetall and its Italian subsidiaries openly mentioned their interest in that programme with the KF-41 Lynx.[222]

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

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.[224]

Iveco SuperAV     Italy Variants not defined yet 82 Successor of the AAV-7[225]
  • 64 for the Army
  • 18 for the Army engineers
  • (64 for the Navy San Marco Brigade)

HIMARS     United States of America Multiple rocket launcher system 21 In October 2023, the Italian parliament approved the 2023 defence spending and 2024 forecast. The 2024 forecast includes a €145 million budget for the launcher, and a total of €960 million including the munitions (unknown), the training and the supply chain costs.[217]
MBDA new MANPAD –   Italy MANPAD – MBDA announced the development of a new MANPAD missile following the expression of a new missile needed by the Italian Armed Forces.[229]

  Germany

   Switzerland

  Italy

Self-propelled howitzer — 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.[231][232]

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.[233][234]

The base vehicle is unknown, but could include:

  Equipment ordered
  Equipment in development financed by the government, but no order yet, or competition launched
  Included in the parliament budget, and budget predictions, but no contract has been signed yet
  Potential equipment considered in a middle-term future
