| General information |
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.
