Artillery Gun Module (AGM), truck-mounted (wheeled AGM)

The truck-mounted AGM combines the firepower of the automatic and remote-controllable AGM gun module (155 mm L52) with the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of a suitable 40 t military truck of the user’s choice.

The truck-mounted AGM is a combination of automated artillery firepower and MOTS wheeled mobility.

Depiction of system components for integration on a military 40 t truck.

Armoured driver’s cab

Integration example: Iveco Trakker chassis with armoured driver’s cab

Large utility compartment

Truck chassis with utility compartment for hydraulic support and optional APU

All-round performance

Artillery platform with adaptation for AGM artillery gun module for 360° azimuth performance

Contact-free gun turret

Unmanned, fully automatic AGM artillery gun module

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).

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).

Facts about the truck-mounted AGM

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 MOTS truck 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.

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 the truck-mounted AGM’s network-based system architecture, it will also be possible to implement autonomous driving and action (remote-controlled) in the future.

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

These special characteristics make the truck-mounted AGM the world’s most future-oriented barrelled artillery system.

Equipment features of the truck-mounted AGM

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
Built-in test equipment system (BITE)

A systematic development of the PzH 2000, the AGM 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.

The dimensions, total weight, engine performance, protection level and maximum speed and range depend on the chosen MOTS truck.

Truck-mounted AGM – A 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.
