Germany's new HX3 10x10 Truck Mounted Gun System

The Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles (RMMV) plant in Vienna, Ulrich Gendritzki, the company’s engineering team leader, said the four versions shared 90% commonality, with the 4×4 and 6×6 being suitable for cargo and troop transport, the 8×8 for loading and carrying containers, and the 10×10 for bridgelaying and artillery.

The 10×10 presented was in the artillery configuration based on a Rheinmetall concept for a 60-calibre 155 mm howitzer. Asked by Janes what advantage the 10×10 offers compared with the Archer 155 mm howitzer mounted on an HX2 8×8 truck presented at Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) 2019, Alexander Westermann, RMMV’s head of sales, said the additional axle allows longer barrel length, a greater ammunition load, and better absorbtion of shock during firing.
