Donar artillery system
The Donar artillery system is an air-portable 155 mm self-propelled howitzer designed by Krauss-Maffei Wegmann. It is based on technology used in the German Army Panzerhaubitze 2000 system, to provide more air portable self-propelled artillery, transportable by Airbus A400 aircraft.
The system is fully autonomous, the crew sitting in the cab, with similar performance to the PzH 2000, but with reduced cost, crew levels and weight. The AGM uses the PzH 2000 ballistic fire-control computer with integrated NATO Armaments Ballistic Kernel and the Krauss-Maffei Wegmann Artillery Command and Control System. It is a modular system, the gun module can be fitted on a tracked or wheeled chassis. Costs can be reduced by fitting it to a user's suitable chassis of choice. Current development vehicles use a MLRS chassis. A vehicle independent auxiliary power unit and an inertial reference unit with a Global Positioning System connection are fitted. During trials in 2006, a demonstrator vehicle fired a volley of ten 155 mm rounds in 2 minutes and 19 seconds with a crew of two being seated in the fully armoured protected cab.

The AGM platform on a Boxer module can be used both by the 8×8 Boxer and by the tracked Boxer. The tracked variant was presented at AUSA 2025.AGM - tracked armoured fighting vehicles
Donar
The Donar was the first vehicle equipped with the AGM presented by KNDS Deutschland. It is based on the ASCOD AFV chassis and was presented in 2004.GDELS Nemesis
A new tracked variant of the AGM was presented At FEINDEF 2025, in May 2025, by General Dynamics European Land Systems. This system is based on the ASCOD 2 platform, and is known as the GDELS Nemesis.''''AGM - wheeled armoured fighting vehicles
Piranha IV 10×10
In August 2022, the Armasuisse pre-selected 3 systems to be tested as part of the "Artillerie Wirkplattform und Wirkmittel 2026" programme, the selection of the successor to the M109 KAWEST WE. The Piranha IV It competed against the Archer artillery system (Rheinmetall HX2 8×8) and the RCH 155 variant.The trials of the system took place in 2023 and 2024.
In October 2024, the Swiss Army selected the Mowag Piranha IV 10×10 as a platform for the AGM module.
AGM - trucks
Iveco Trakker 8×8
A design of such a vehicle exists. It is based on a 40t capable military truck which is already in use in the German Army. It keeps the capability to be used in direct hit fashion with optronics capabilities. It is equipped with a hydraulic compartment, and can receive an auxiliary power unit to power the turret and the electronic while keeping the engine of the truck off.Operators
