General Dynamics European Land Systems – Mowag
(Hall 5, Stand G847) is showing its latest Piranha 5 (8x8) armoured personnel
carrier (APC), which has recently been selected and ordered by two customers. The first customer is the Danish Army, which
placed a contract for 309 vehicles in January 2016 with options that could
increase this to 450 units. Denmark will take delivery from 2018-23 and in
addition to the APC more specialised versions include ambulance, command and
control, engineer, mortar and repair. They will replace the currently deployed
tracked BAE Systems M113 APC and variants, which have been upgraded several
times but now need replacing.
