Boxer vehicles: Artillery
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what is the current planned dates for the (a) Initial Operating Capability and (b) Full Operating Capability declaration for the RCH 155.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The Mobile Fires Platform Project which will deliver the Remote-Controlled Howitzer 155mm (RCH 155) Calibre Wheeled Artillery System intended to be mounted on Boxer, remains in its assessment phase and is subject to contract. It is therefore too early to confirm platform numbers, delivery timelines and expected in-service dates. Analysis of future equipment fielding is ongoing. We are making good progress however with the purchase of two of these systems which are undergoing further testing.
