PUMA

The most modern system of its kind in the world

Krauss-Maffei Wegmann

The PUMA infantry fighting vehicle sets new international standards in technology and design. Under the umbrella of “Projekt System und Management GmbH” (PSM) headquartered in Kassel, KMW is developing this ambitious programme along with Rheinmetall Landsysteme. The PUMA unifies in an overall system the contrasting requirements for strategic and tactical mobility on the one hand, and maximum protection as well as high firepower, on the other.
