Rheinmetall and KMW point the way with a trendsetting joint development project AMPV.

Rheinmetall Defence of Dusseldorf and Krauss-Maffei Wegmann of Munich have launched a joint programme to develop a highly protected new vehicle family in the 5- to 9-ton weight class. The first prototype of the four-wheel drive Armoured Multipurpose Vehicle (AMPV) systems was presented to government and military officials in Berlin in June 2009. A second prototype is set to be finished in October this year followed by in-house and army trials. The first version of the AMPV, a 9.3-ton patrol vehicle, will be ready for serial delivery by 2011. Responding to the Bundeswehr’s current GFF (“protected command and role-specific vehicle”) procurement programme, Rheinmetall and Krauss-Maffei Wegmann have developed a family of GFF 1/2-class vehicles that fully complies with user requirements. The two defence contractors are financing the development project on their own. The objective of the joint project is to supply the armed forces of Germany and other nations with a vehicle that sets an entirely new standard for mobility, modularity, payload and protection technology; and to safeguard and promote certain technologies vital to German national security.
