A future-proof equipping of armed forces must take account of both the ability to perform tasks in all conflict areas, as well as the growing demands for air-portability. Not least thanks to their swift deployment to place of action – coupled with outstanding augmentation capability and optimised mobility characteristics even on difficult terrains – Krauss-Maffei Wegmann vehicles are the perfect tool for international conflict management.

As early as the vehicle design phase, KMW considers the requirements for air-portability on the aircraft types, which are employed by the majority of user nations. This includes the C130, a standard transport aircraft for many air forces, in which all KMW vehicles weighing less than 20 tons can be accommodated.
