Breaking Defense: No Time To Spare In Fielding Next-Generation Fires Technology
Built on more than a century of excellence in advanced artillery solutions, Rheinmetall innovations offer ready now lethality solutions urgently needed to restore overmatch today and ensure it remains tomorrow.
In 1896, Heinrich Ehrhardt, a German engineer and entrepreneur, patented the recoiling barrel system and started a revolution in field artillery. Nearly 125 years later, the company he founded, Rheinmetall, remains a global leader in the development of artillery solutions. Today, Rheinmetall continues to set the standard of excellence for the highest priority modernization needs of artillery systems, particularly in key aspects of long-range precision fires – firing systems, cannon-delivered projectiles and propellants. Rheinmetall’s PzH2000 52-caliber length (L52) 155mm howitzer tube is widely considered the best in its class and the celebrated Assegai family of 155mm munitions, paired with Rheinmetall’s new Extended Range Top Charge propellants, have substantially outperformed conventional artillery systems in recent live fire testing.
