Thales has signed a contract with Krauss-Maffei Wegmann for the delivery of four Panoramic Above Armour Gimbals (PAAGs) to the German armed forces, the company announced on 30 March.

The PAAG will be fitted on German Boxer vehicles as part of the Joint Fire Support Team (JFST) contract.

Four prototypes will be manufactured in 2023, with a follow-on production contract anticipated in 2025, the announcement stated.

A Thales spokesperson informed Janes that the integration of the PAAG would create a new German army Boxer variant termed the ‘Joint Fire Support Team schwer' (JFSTsw).

However, they were unable to detail the total value of the contract.

The PAAG, remotely controlled from inside the Boxer, is an electronic surveillance system, which provides the user with long-range ‘Detection, Recognition, Identification', the Organisation for Joint Armament Cooperation (OCCAR) said in a separate announcement.

The system is capable of identifying targets up to four kilometres away and can be raised above the vehicle roof to monitor targets, reducing operational risk.
