In January 2020, the UK’s DE&S agency released key user requirements. Initial goals included an 80km range, which was later deemed unnecessary due to overlap with the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System. Instead, the programme refocused on a 155mm L52 gun, either wheeled or tracked, with enhanced range, accuracy, and modularity to allow future upgrades.The Mobile Fires Platform programme attracted several contenders, reflecting a debate over wheeled versus tracked platforms. Key options included:Archer 8×8 (BAE Systems Bofors)Caesar 6×6 (Nexter)K9 Thunder Tracked (Hanwha Defense)RCH 155 6×6 (KMW)Of all these candidates, the RCH 155 was chosen as the UK’s Mobile Fires Platform.So, why did the UK choose the RCH 155?
