![]() It was designed to replace the Humvee Jülkat. some additional equipment were added, such as rolled camouflage nets that are there to quickly hide the vehicle and protect it from IR emissions. An opening in the roof was made to access to the machine gun. Eagle IV SOFThe Danish Forsvaret (special forces unit) modified an Eagle by removing the doors.Oshkosh won the competition with the L-ATV in August 2015. In October 2008, the Pentagon selected three of the other competitors for the EMD phase (Engineering and Manufacturing Development). A RFP for the TD phase was released in February 2008, the proposals by the industry were received by April 2008. GTV JLTV Eagle (General Tactical Vehicle JLTV): This prototype is based on the Eagle IV 4x4, GDLS offered this vehicle in the JLTV program that intended to replace the Humvee in the US Armed Forces.Prototypes and known variants in development Based on the Eagle IV The Eagle V 4x4 has 80% of its parts in common with the Eagle IV, which was a requirement of the German Army. There are two main variants, a 4x4 and a 6圆. Up to 2023, it is the most successful variant commercially (587 vehicles). The vehicle's width is smaller than the Humvee, which allows two ready to combat Eagle IVs to be transported in a C-130 without special preparations. It's combat weight reaches 7,600 kg including 2,400 of payload and high level protection meeting STANAG 4569 level III protection and STANAG 4569 Level IIa mine protection (6 kg TNT under each wheel). Two Eagle IV in combat configurations are transportable by the C-130 Hercules. ![]() The anti-mine protection reaches the STANAG 4569 Level IIa standard.The armoured cabin has a protection STANAG 4569 level III.It was later purchased by the German Army as one of its main armoured mobility vehicle. It was introduced commercially in November 2003, and received its IOC (initial operational capability) in 2004 with the Danish Army. The Eagle IV is based on the chassis of the Mowag Duro IIIP. The electronic equipment was also adapted to the mission, using the INTAFF commanding system of the Swiss Army artillery, and an observation mast (containing CCD-TV, IR, and a laser range finder). The difference is in the cabin that is designed to offer a good visibility to the artillery observers. The Swiss Army was looking for a mobile artillery observer vehicle. The Eagle III also uses the chassis and running gear of the Humvee ECV. But all the equipment is the same as for the Swiss Eagle I. It uses a different chassis and running gear, the one of the Humvee ECV. The Eagle II was developed to take into account the changes wanted by the Swiss Army for the second batch of armoured reconnaissance vehicle it needed. The Danish Army also purchased the Eagle I, and used it in the 2003 war in Iraq, as well as the ISAF mission in Afghanistan. It was developed for the needs of the Swiss Army for an armoured reconnaissance vehicle. The original Eagle used the chassis and running gear of the Humvee. The Mowag Eagle is a series of wheeled armoured vehicle designed by Mowag a Swiss company now owned by GDELS (General Dynamics European Land Systems).
