General Dynamics European Land Systems awarded order for EAGLE 4×4 armored vehicles for Denmark

The Danish Ministry of Defense awarded a CHF 46 million contract to General Dynamics European Land Systems-Mowag (GDELS-Mowag) to deliver 56 PATROL vehicles and a first prototype of the RECONNAISSANCE Open variant.

This second order is part of the Armored Patrol Vehicle (APV) framework agreement, which GDELS-Mowag and DALO signed in June 2017, after the EAGLE 4×4 was selected winner of the APV tender.

Deliveries of the 57 vehicles will begin by the End of 2021 and will be completed in 2022.

We sincerely thank the Danish Ministry of Defense for its continued confidence in our EAGLE 4×4 vehicle platform, engineering, and industrial capabilities. I’m especially proud that Denmark, as a NATO member, is the first nation to order the open top version of our EAGLE 4×4 vehicle. We look forward to delivering the new RECCE Open variant to Denmark for their tests and user trials and we are confident that Denmark will benefit from running a fleet of our vehicles, which is based on a state-of-the-art 4×4 wheeled family concept.
