Featured Technologies at AUSA 2025 – Booth #1339

American Rheinmetall will highlight an integrated suite of capabilities that support ground combat operations, tactical mobility, air defense, vehicle autonomy, long-range precision fires, and Soldier lethality:

Lynx XM30 Combat Vehicle – A Transformational Capability for the Air-Ground Littoral Fight

A leap-ahead solution offered for the Army’s XM30 program, the Lynx XM30 delivers unmatched connectivity, protection, and firepower. Designed with a modular, open architecture for rapid tech integration, the vehicle offers superior adaptability for future threats. A cleared-access augmented reality tech demonstrator will allow visitors to explore its full potential at the show.

Ox Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) – Advanced Unmanned, Autonomous Operations in Support of Squad and Platoon Operations

A modular, mission-ready UGV designed to enhance the operational effectiveness of dismounted Soldiers. Built on over 20 years of Rheinmetall’s UGV experience, the Ox meets U.S. Army requirements for mobility, silent operation, signature management, and modular payload integration—including CASEVAC, resupply, electronic warfare, and counter-UAS. Autonomy-ready with a modular architecture, the Ox enables faster, safer operations at the tactical edge. The Ox UGV displayed includes proven, fielded, and mature subsystem solutions like Valinor’s Dispatch modular sUAS docking station, AeroVironment’s S300 Loitering Munitions, MatrixSpace Radars, CRFS Passive Radars, and SpearUAV systems.

HX Common Tactical Truck (HX CTT) – Proven. Protected. Ready.

The HX CTT, delivered in partnership with GM Defense, is part of Rheinmetall’s HX family of battle-proven tactical trucks that offers a modernized tactical truck solution that combines superior off-road performance, scalable protection, and an integrated digital backbone. Featuring advanced driver assistance systems, open systems architecture, a commercial backbone, and autonomy readiness, the HX is engineered to support resilient sustainment operations in contested environments. Recently proven through extensive Army testing, the HX is a strong competitor in the Army’s Common Tactical Truck (CTT) program. Variants of the HX platform are operated by 20 allied partner countries including the UK, Australia, and Germany. The HX on display includes Invariant’s CWS-A: A cutting-edge Counter Unmanned Aircraft System (C-UAS) built on the battle-tested technology of the Containerized Weapon System (CWS).

Skyranger Air Defense Systems with AHEAD Ammunition – Layered, Agile, and Precise cUAS and SHORAD Solutions

Rheinmetall’s Skyranger 30mm Short Range Air Defense (SHORAD) system and new Skyranger 762 Ultra-SHORAD Remote Weapon Station provide highly-mobile, lethal, and precise autonomous air defense solutions for today’s evolving air threats, particularly highly agile or swarm UAS attacks. The 30x173mm Revolver Cannon® KCE-ABM, twin 7.62 mini guns, and ground-to-air missiles offer a superior, autonomous mixed-effector solution for maneuver/asset protection in the most austere operating environments, while the twin Dillon M134D’s offer a superior rate-of-fire for last-line-of-defense protection. These systems offer layered and scalable protection that aligns with the Army’s Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) modernization priorities.

RCH155 – Mobile Artillery That Redefines Precision and Agility

The RCH155 mobile howitzer, delivered in partnership with KNDS, brings ready-now transformational capabilities to the Army’s evolving division-level artillery formations. Mounted on the combat-proven Boxer vehicle, this automated 155mm/L52 cannon system offers unmatched mobility, survivability, and range, going beyond 58km with Rheinmetall’s advanced munitions. Its 2-person crew, shoot-on-the-move ability, and NATO interoperability directly support the Army’s Cannon-Delivered Area Effects and Long-Range Precision Fires strategies. The RCH155 was recently selected by the UK and Germany as their new cannon artillery system and will be fielded by the Ukrainian Army in the near future. 

Rheinmetall’s world-class L52 155mm cannon, featured on the RCH155 system and others, can also be seen on the BAE AUSA booth #925 integrated onto an M109A7 demonstrating a ready-now solution to deliver a vitally needed long range fires capability upgrade to the Paladin system.

Advanced Medium and Large Caliber Munitions & Lethality Solutions – Built for the Future Fight

Rheinmetall continues to lead in next-gen medium and large-caliber munitions design, development, and production with solutions that provide battlefield dominance across all domains. On display will be Rheinmetall’s proven, advanced 155mm Extended Range propellants and rocket assisted V-LAP rocket assisted projectile (RAP) rounds, advanced airburst munitions, and the Highly-Advanced Multi-Mission Rifle (HAMMR), a new and revolutionary automatic, magazine-loaded, shoulder-fired grenade launcher that brings scalable overmatch to the squad level.

American Rheinmetall Munitions will also feature its partnership with Solugen, a Texas-based chemical manufacturer pioneering scalable, domestic production of critical materials for defense and industrial applications. Together, American Rheinmetall Munitions and Solugen are working to expand the availability of new and affordable, U.S.-made energetics to support faster adoption of advanced energetics across the defense sector. The team will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to further their partnership at AUSA on Tuesday October 14, at 9am on the American Rheinmetall booth #1339.
