Eagle IV/V

The Eagle IV/V is a highly mobile, protected wheeled vehicle designed for various missions including reconnaissance, transport, and command. It offers high levels of ballistic and mine protection, making it suitable for operations in challenging environments.

Developed by Mowag in the mid-2000s, the Eagle IV and V were designed on the Duro IIIP chassis to address the urgent need for enhanced mine and IED protection that earlier HMMWV-based Eagle variants could not support. The Eagle IV entered service with Denmark in 2005 and was subsequently adopted by Germany in 2008 under their GFF Class 2 program. The vehicle saw extensive combat deployment with the German Bundeswehr during the war in Afghanistan, where its survivability against roadside bombs was proven in numerous engagements. Today, both variants remain in active service with several European militaries, including Switzerland and Denmark, cementing their legacy as highly reliable and adaptable protected patrol platforms.
