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.
