a new tactical vehicle for the Bundeswehr: Rheinmetall and Iveco Magirus
enter cooperation agreement.
Rheinmetall
and Iveco Magirus have agreed to work together in the field
of wheeled, 6 to 8 ton-class armoured vehicles for the German
market.
As part of this agreement, Rheinmetall Landsysteme GmbH
of Kiel, the Land Systems division of the Rheinmetall Group,
has obtained the German rights to Iveco's newly developed
Light Modular Vehicle (LMV). Rheinmetall Landsysteme (RLS)
will be responsible for adapting the vehicle to the needs
of the Bundeswehr, as well as the integration of application-specific
assemblies and weapon stations. The agreement also lays
the groundwork for possible marketing of the vehicle abroad
by Rheinmetall.
The new RLS vehicle will be marketed under the name CARACAL
after the Afro-Asian cat; also known as the desert lynx.
The CARACAL is a highly mobile all-terrain four-wheel drive
vehicle.
It offers a high degree of modular ballistic protection
as well as advanced anti-mine features. Powered by a state-of-the-art
diesel engine, the vehicle features high-performance single
wheel suspension. The versatile CARACAL can carry up to
five people and can be used to perform an extremely wide
variety of missions, including reconnaissance, command,
transport and patrolling; as a weapons platform it can configured
in numerous different ways.
