Kraus-Maffei Wegman welcomes today's decision of the German
Parliament to procure 272 wheeled armoured vehicles BOXER.
Munich,
December 13th, 2006. Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW)
welcomes today's decision of the German parliament
(Bundestag) in Berlin to procure 272 highly protected
BOXER vehicles. It has set with this decision
an especially important procurement milestone
towards a European-developed armored transport
vehicle involving border-crossing production with
the Dutch partner. The Dutch armed forces will
procure 200 BOXER vehicles as well.
With the BOXER, the Dutch and German armed forces
will in future have a vehicle of modular construction,
capable of deployment for a variety of demanding
missions. It takes just a few minutes to exchange
so-called mission modules on a common vehicle
chassis for highly protected personnel transport
as well as for command, ambulance, maintenance
and cargo functions. The BOXER is an optimally
protected, highly mobile transport vehicle of
high payload capacity and can be deployed reliably
even in extreme environments. Its comprehensive
protection against mines and ballistic threats
is based on the most advanced technologies and
guarantees maximum crew survivability. High mobility,
stealth design, modern observation equipment,
an effective self-defense armament, the smoke
grenade launcher as well as the standard NBC protection
and environmental control system are further key
features enhancing survivability in critical situations.
With its consistent modular construction, the
BOXER represents an ideal, highly flexible system
platform for a variety of different missions.
Its high payload capacity, combined with a large,
fully protected interior, permits the integration
of complex kits and offers future-oriented growth
potential. Proven powerpack and suspension components
ensure superb off- and on-road mobility in any
situation. Rapid availability in out-of-area missions
is guaranteed by its airportability on the Airbus
A 400M. 13 December 2006
