The AMX 30 AuF1 is a self-propelled artillery vehicle using the AMX 30 tank hull.

It is now in service in the French Army, which operates 134 units. Though heavier than the AMX-30, the AuF1 retains similar mobility. The vehicle has rate of fire of 6 rounds in 45 seconds, and can deploy swiftly.

AuF1s were used during the Siege of Sarajevo by the French artillery detachment of IFOR, where they helped silence the artillery positions of the Bosnian-Serb VRS forces.

Three are deployed for peacekeeping, following Israel invasion, in Lebannon.
