Mowag Eagle
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).
The original Eagle used the chassis and running gear of the Humvee. It was developed for the needs of the Swiss Army for an armoured reconnaissance vehicle. 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.
Its combat weight reaches 4,800 kg including 1,000 of payload and meeting STANAG 4569 level I protection and STANAG 4569 Level I mine protection.
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. It uses a different chassis and running gear, that of the Humvee ECV, but all the equipment is the same as for the Swiss Eagle I.
Its combat weight reaches 5,500 kg including 1,400 of payload and meeting STANAG 4569 level I protection and STANAG 4569 Level I mine protection.
The Eagle III also uses the chassis and running gear of the Humvee ECV. The Swiss Army was looking for a mobile artillery observer vehicle. The difference is in the cabin that is designed to offer a good visibility to the artillery observers. 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).
Its combat weight reaches 8,400 kg including 1,650 of payload and meeting STANAG 4569 level I protection and STANAG 4569 Level I mine protection.
The Eagle IV is based on the chassis of the Mowag Duro IIIP. It was introduced commercially in November 2003, and received its IOC (initial operational capability) in 2004 with the Danish Army. It was later purchased by the German Army as one of its main armoured mobility vehicle.
