The Dutch Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO) has placed an order for the modernisation of 30 Fennek reconnaissance vehicles to Joint Fire Support Team (JFST) status, on behalf of German Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment (BAAINBw).
The order will see 30 Fennek scout cars being modified and retrofitted to the latest configuration, Fennek JFST 1A3+ variant, for the German Army.
With a total value of approximately €88m, the contract will involve the replacement of obsolete component assemblies, as well as corresponding software adjustments.
Work under the order will take place between 2018 and 2022, following which the Fennek JFST 1A3+ variants will be delivered to the German Armed Forces.
Equipped with high-performance observation equipment, the Fennek JFST will be used by the army to conduct missions, such as battlefield monitoring, target acquisition and directing fire.
The vehicles will also be able to connect with radio communication systems used by the German air force and marines.
