BERLIN, Dec 16 (Reuters) - Franco-German defence supplier KNDS and Italy's Leonardo agreed on Tuesday to jointly develop a mobile artillery system that they plan to offer for the Italian army's upcoming procurement program, according to a joint statement.
The new system will combine KNDS's artillery gun module with an enhanced version of Leonardo's protected wheeled vehicle platform, said the statement.
"This collaborative effort once again confirms our commitment to developing integrated capabilities able to meet evolving market requirements in the new operational scenarios," said Leonardo CEO Roberto Cingolani in the statement.
