GRIFO		Italy  United Kingdom	Short rangesurface-to-air missile system	6 batteries (+ 3 on option)	Replacement of the Aspide with the GRIFO in the army (confirmed in 2022) and a comparable system in the air force, the MAADS.^[158]^[159] Both systems are equipped with the Albatros NG missile (CAMM-ER) by MBDA Italia, which is also to be used by the Italian Navy, replacing the Aster 15. For the army, it's equipped with a radar X-TAR3D by Rheinmetall Air Defence Italy (former Oerlikon Contraves), and network capable a command post operation module Forza NEC..^[159] It is also planned to enable the missile CAMM-ER to be used on the SAMP/T batteries. Budget €456.3 million for 6 batteries and the munitions. Option for 3 additional batteries, and additional missiles for €106.3 million.^[159]
Leonardo Kronos Grand Mobile High Power SAMP/T NG Middle life upgrade		Italy	Air defence guidance radar	6	New radar for the SAMP/T batteries of the Army to be supplied by Leonardo (former Finmeccanica-Selex ES).^[159]^[160]

AW249		Italy	Scout and escort helicopter	48	In January 2017, the Italian Army awarded a €487 million ($515 million) contract to Leonardo S.p.A. for the development of a successor to the Agusta A129 Mangusta attack helicopter. The total cost of the AW249 was announced to be €2.7 billion in total, it includes the development cost of €487 million.
Freccia		Italy	Reconnaissance	120	^[163]
Leopard 2A8IT		Germany	Main Battle Tank	132	In October 2023, the parliament confirmed the intention to purchase the Leopard 2. A budget of €100 million is forecasted for 2024, and up to €4 billion until 2037, and €8.25 billion over its lifetime.^[164]^[165] The electronic systems will be supplied by the Iveco - OTO Melara Consortium (CIO).
Leopard 2 engineering variants: AEV 3 Kodiak BPz3 Leguan		Germany	Armoured engineering vehicles	140	Approved by the government, to be supplied from 2027 to 2037.^[166]^[165]
A2CS Programme Army Armored Combat System		Germany or/and   Italy	Infantry Fighting Vehicle, Command post, Counter-tank, Mortar carrier, Reconnaissance, Mobile SHORAD, Engineering, Ambulance Ammunition carrier Driving school	1000 ^[167]	Initially named AICS (Armoured Infantry Combat System), the programme intended to purchase up to 570 tracked vehicles.^[168] The programme was renamed A2CS in January 2024 with the intent to purchase 1,000 vehicles in a first phase for a budget of €5.2 billion over 14 years, and a lifetime cost estimated at €15 billion.^[167] The intention is to replace the Dardo with a new tracked IFV, to use this platform for other roles. In terms of technical capabilities, the Italian Army is interested in a vehicle with modular armour, open architecture, command and control capability and drone management (air and ground drones). Italy intends to collaborate with other European countries on that programme. There are various options on the table. Leonardo and KNDS signed a strategic alliance in 2023. A possibility is a collaboration on the vehicle designed by CIO (Consorzio Iveco-Oto Melara) which is partially owned by Leonardo. CIO revealed renderings of their successor to the Dardo.^[169] Rheinmetall and its Italian subsidiaries openly mentioned their interest in that programme with the KF-41 Lynx.^[170] Among vehicles that weren't officially mentioned that could be considered are: The Boxer tracked vehicle as there is the strategic alliance between Leonardo and KNDS. And mission modules already exist for all expected variants. CV90 ASCOD 2
