German Army plans Boxer heavy weapon carrier
by Nicholas Fiorenza
The Bundeswehr's Wiesel weapon carrier will be replaced by the Boxer wheeled armoured vehicle, according to a presentation to the German Army Headquarters Infantry Symposium in Hammelburg at the beginning of November.
The German Army said on its website on 19 November that the Boxer heavy weapon carrier would be armed with the same 30 mm cannon as the Puma infantry fighting vehicle and Mehrrollenfähiges leichtes Lenkflugkörper-System (Multirole-capable Light Missile System, MELLS), the Bundeswehr's designation for Spike LR. Its turret will be equipped with a 360° vision system and warning and observation systems.
