A budget of €100 million is forecasted for 2024, and up to €4 billion until 2037, and €8.25 billion over its lifetime. The electronic systems will be supplied by the Iveco - OTO Melara Consortium (CIO). |

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. 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. Rheinmetall and its Italian subsidiaries openly mentioned their interest in that programme with the KF-41 Lynx.
