The Fennek 4x4 reconnaissance vehicle is a further development of the Multi-Purpose Carrier (MPC) originally developed by Dutch company SP aerospace and vehicle systems as a private venture.

Following extensive trials with prototype vehicles, the ARGE Fennek consortium - comprising SP aerospace and vehicle systems and Krauss-Maffei Wegmann of Germany - was awarded a contract to produce 612 Fenneks.

The German Army has ordered 202 vehicles and the Netherlands 410; the first Fenneks were delivered in 2003. There are two final assembly lines, one in Germany and one in the Netherlands.

The baseline Fennek is optimized for reconnaissance and is provided with a retractable mast-mounted sensor pod that contains day/thermal optics and a laser rangefinder.

A land navigation system and extensive communications equipment is installed in the vehicle and this allows information to be relayed in real time. The sensor package is provided by Rheinmetall Defence Electronics and, if required, the sensor head can be removed from the vehicle and deployed up to 40m away.

German vehicles are armed with 40mm automatic grenade launchers, while 12.7mm machine guns are installed on the Dutch ones.

The Fennek's hull is of all-welded steel armor, which protects the crew against 7.62mm armour-piercing attack and shell splinters.

A wide range of equipment is fitted as standard, including a rear-mounted camera, a nuclear, biological and chemical defensive system, a winch, run-flat tyres, an air-conditioning system and a fire-detection and -suppression system.

Both countries will also deploy specialized versions. Germany is testing an artillery- observation vehicle with 168 units expected to be procured. The Netherlands will also field anti-tank and air defence versions. The former will be fitted with the Gill medium-range antitank missile.
