The German Army has ordered 41 Dingo 2 heavily armoured military infantry mobility vehicles from Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) for deployment in Afghanistan.
Dingo 2 is a protected wheeled vehicle that provides enhanced crew protection against small arms, artillery shrapnel, anti-personnel and anti-tank mines, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and nuclear, biological and chemical warfare agents.
Each of the 41 vehicles is equipped with a FLW 100 light weapons station and can carry different sets of armaments.
The light weapon station is operated by remote control by the vehicle crew from inside the protected crew compartment, and can be used with precision and control even when driving fast through difficult terrain.
The Dingo performs special mission requirements in different configurations, including patrol, mobile command post, NBC reconnaissance and armoured ambulance.
