German FENNEK
The FENNEK is a wheeled armored vehicle built by the Krauss-Maffei Wegmann firm based in Germany and the SP Aerospace and Vehicle Systems firm of the Netherlands. It was developed at the request of the German and Dutch armies.
Dutch FENNEK
In December 2001, a contract was signed on behalf of the Dutch Army for the production of 612 vehicles, including 202 reconnaissance vehicles, 130 anti-tank vehicles, and 78 transport vehicles. Germany also ordered the vehicle, including 178 reconnaissance vehicles and 24 engineer vehicles.
The FENNEK is a wheeled light armored reconnaissance vehicle with a crew of three and is deployed in units of two.
Dutch FENNEK
The vehicle, in combat order, can be used in operations, in total autonomy for a period of five days. The version called "Tactical Command and Control System" is the basic version. It is a vehicle that has been designed for reconnaissance.
FENNEK with RAFAEL GILL missile launcher
The Dutch army's reconnaissance version is armed with a 12.7 mm machine gun, while the German version is equipped with a 40 mm grenade launcher. There is also an anti-tank version, equipped with a Rafael Gill missile launcher, this version will be used by the Dutch armed forces. The telescopic mast can be deployed from the ground to a height of 3.29 m and up to a height of 1.50 m from the hull roof.
Dutch FENNEK
In order not to endanger the vehicle and the crew, the tracking system can be installed 40 m away from the physical location of the FENNEK. The location of the driver towards the front of the hull gives him a large field of vision, up to 180°. At the rear of the vehicle a camera is mounted and allows the driver to make a quick maneuver to move in case of immediate danger. The crew compartment is protected by an CBN (Chimical, Bacteriological, Nuclear) protection system, as well as an air conditioning system.

The thermal signature of the vehicle is reduced thanks to the use of a heat reducer on the exhausts. The engine compartment is equipped with an automatic fire extinguisher and alarm contacts, which can be activated automatically or manually.
German FENNEK in Afghanistan
The vehicle is equipped with a diesel engine which has a range of 860 km and allows the vehicle to travel at a maximum speed of 115 km/h. The vehicle can climb a 60% slope and a 35% incline. A centralized tire inflation system allows the driver to adjust the tire pressure according to the terrain conditions.
