As a leading tech enterprise specializing in security and mobility, Rheinmetall feels a special obligation to make the best-possible equipment available to the people tasked with protecting us. This year, from 21 to 24 November, Rheinmetall is presenting a selection of its extensive array of law enforcement and security products at the MILIPOL international security show in Paris.

The Survivor R epitomizes Rheinmetall’s commitment to the twin imperatives of security and mobility. 

Developed in cooperation with special vehicle maker Achleitner, it is extremely well suited for police special operations. In Germany, state-level police forces in Berlin and Saxony have already opted to equip their SWAT teams with the Survivor R. Based on a high-performance 4x4 MAN truck chassis, the Survivor R is fitted with a steel armour cab. Capable of reaching speeds of over 100 km/h, the vehicle combines tried-andtested automotive technology from major production runs with the latest force protection concepts from Rheinmetall.

An armoured monocoque cab with add-on protection elements can be individually and discreetly modified to meet evolving threat situations, while a ventilation system for filtering out nuclear, biological and chemical agents is standard equipment in every Survivor R vehicle. Although it is extremely well protected, the external appearance of the law enforcement version of the Survivor R is specifically designed to make a deescalating, nonmilitary impression. Well lit and ergonomically designed, the interior is spacious enough to seat up to eleven personnel with their personal equipment as well as extensive C4I and communications equipment.

For the first time ever, Rheinmetall is showcasing the Survivor R at MILIPOL 2017 with an integrated Qimek weapon station.

This versatile vehicle can also be equipped with remotely operated weapon stations. For the first time ever, Rheinmetall is showcasing the Survivor R at MILIPOL 2017 with an integrated Qimek weapon station. Systematic use of off-the-shelf civilian parts and serially produced military components make the vehicle an affordable option, while users can rely on Rheinmetall MAN’s global service network for maintenance and repairs. This makes the Survivor R a cost-effective, easy-tomaintain vehicle platform with low lifecycle costs and a high level of operational readiness.
