The
Dingo 2 mine resistant, ambush protected vehicle
is a further development of the previous Dingo
1. This vehicle was designed by the Krauss-Maffei
Wegmann. The Dingo 2 is currently in service with
Germany, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic and
Luxemburg. The 06 April 2010, The German Defence
Procurement Agency (BWB) has commissioned Krauss-Maffei
Wegmann (KMW) to supply 44 all-protected battle
damage repair vehicles based on the DINGO 2, the
Dingo 2 GSI. The task of the Dingo 2 GSI is to
eliminate combat and wear damage to vehicles as
fast as possible and restore their ability to
function. The ballistic and mine levele protection
of the Dingo GSI is the same level as the basic
version of the Dingo 2. The troops compartment
is repaced by a storage system on the payload
area in which tools, machinery and wearing and
spare parts can be transported.The BWB only recently
ordered 41 DINGO 2 vehicles in the all-protected
personnel and material transporter configuration,
which the German Army will deploy in Afghanistan.
KMW will also deliver these vehicles to the army
by the end of the 2010.
To
protect themselves all 44 DINGO 2 GSI
vehicles have a remote controlled KMW-FLW
100 light weapon station. The gunner operates
it from the protected interior and can
use it even while driving at high speed
in difficult terrain in a very precisely
and controlled. The KMW-FLW 100 remote
weapon station is armed with a 7.62 mm
calibre machine gun. Its gyro stabilization
system allows very accurate and controlled
weapon firing, even while moving through
rough terrain at high speed.
Protection
The
new DINGO version has an all-protected
crew cabin with room for three people
(driver, gunner and maintenance sergeant).
It provides maximum protection against
explosive charges (IEDs), anti-personnel
and anti-tank mines, modern firearms,
shrapnel and NBC warfare agents. The Dingo
2 GSI vehicle has a V-shaped hull and
armored crew capsule.
Propulsion
The
Dingo 2 GSI is based on upgraded Unimog
U 5000 light truck 4x4 chassis. The Dingo
2 DSI power pack consists of a Mercedes-Benz
diesel developing 215 hp, which meets EURO
III emission requirements. This is coupled
to an automatic shifting transmission with
the driver also having the option of a manual
reversionary role.
Accessories
The
DINGO 2 GSI has its own generator to produce
electricity. The vehicle is also fitted
with a central tyre inflation system.
