In 2014 with interest in installing the AGM on the Boxer,[4] questions arose regarding its capacity to meet this requirement.

The RCH 155 is capable of firing basically[clarification needed] all 155 mm projectiles compatible with the Joint Ballistics Memorandum of Understanding (JBMOU) of NATO.

In this mode, the trajectories and times of the projectiles are modified by elevation of the barrel and number of propellant charges in such a way that several shots fired in succession hit the target almost simultaneously in order to achieve the greatest possible effect before the enemy can take evasive action.

The start will enable to acquire a number of systems, develop the logistic support, set-up the training courses for the operators and the maintenance.

At AUSA 2024, the US military mentioned its interest for a wheeled howitzer under the "mobile tactical cannon" capability.

Several self-propelled howitzer will be evaluated, among which the Archer, the RCH 155 on two vehicles, the Piranha 10×10 and the Boxer, the K9A1 and the SIGMA from Elbit Systems.
