A tank's gun on wheels — Italy's 8×8 Centauro II mounts a full 120mm cannon with main-battle-tank firepower on a fast, road-mobile, mine-protected wheeled hull. The heavier, harder-hitting successor to the original Centauro, built for rapid fire support without a tank's logistics.
Italy's shape-shifting warship — a Fincantieri ship that scales from a lightly-armed patrol vessel to a full FREMM-class combatant by configuration, and can be up-gunned over its life. The "Multipurpose Combat Ship" that bets one hull can be many warships.
Italy's sole domestic third-generation main battle tank — a 54-tonne, 120 mm smoothbore platform now undergoing a C2/AMV upgrade to address obsolescence and low fleet availability.
