Rheinmetall Keiler Next Generation – Armoured Breaching Vehicle

Meet the Keiler Next Generation, Rheinmetall‘s latest Armoured Breaching Vehicle (ABV). The highly protected system combines the mobility and agility of a modern tracked platform with various means of action for fast and reliable overcoming of obstacles and mine barriers in any terrain.

A full-width mine plough is complimented with Rheinmetall’s innovative Plofadder Mine Clearing Line Charge (MICLIC). Fired from the rear part of the ABV and detonated on the ground, the explosive line breaks at least 160m long and 9m wide passage per system in a very short time through large-scale mine barriers. Keiler NG leads the way by making the lanes created recognizable for the following forces, even in restricted visibility or at night.

Next to active and passive protection measures, other features include a magnetic signature duplicator for initiating mines from a safe distance, as well as a front-end interface for picking up the plough with an emergency ejection mechanism. The Keiler NG is able to assemble the plough independently using the crane or to resupply itself with ammunition or other Plofadder systems.
While a high degree of commonality with for example Kodiak and Leopard 2 offers high mobility, simplified logistics and reduced verification efforts, future growth potentials include an active protection system, remote/autonomous operation and mesh network communication.
