The Mowag Eagle is a series of wheeled armoured vehicle designed by Mowag, a Swiss company now owned by GDELS (General Dynamics European Land Systems).

Models

Eagle I

The original Eagle used the chassis and running gear of the Humvee. It was developed for the needs of the Swiss Army for an armoured reconnaissance vehicle. The Danish Army also purchased the Eagle I, and used it in the 2003 war in Iraq, as well as the ISAF mission in Afghanistan. [2]

Eagle II

The Eagle II was developed to take into account the changes wanted by the Swiss Army for the second batch of armoured reconnaissance vehicle it needed. It uses a different chassis and running gear, the one of the Humvee ECV, but all the equipment is the same as for the Swiss Eagle I.

Eagle III

The Eagle III also uses the chassis and running gear of the Humvee ECV. The Swiss Army was looking for a mobile artillery observer vehicle. The difference is in the cabin that is designed to offer a good visibility to the artillery observers. The electronic equipment was also adapted to the mission, using the INTAFF commanding system of the Swiss Army artillery, and an observation mast (containing CCD-TV, IR, and a laser range finder). [3] [4]

Eagle IV

The Eagle IV is based on the chassis of the Mowag Duro IIIP. It was introduced commercially in November 2003, and received its IOC (initial operational capability) in 2004 with the Danish Army. [5] [6] It was later purchased by the German Army as one of its main armoured mobility vehicle.

Two Eagle IV in combat configurations are transportable by the C-130 Hercules.

It's combat weight reaches 7,600 kg including 2,400 of payload and high level protection meeting STANAG 4569 level III protection and STANAG 4569 Level IIa mine protection (6 kg TNT under each wheel). The vehicle's width is smaller than the Humvee, which allows two ready to combat Eagle IVs to be transported in a C-130 without special preparations. [8] Up to 2023, it is the most successful variant commercially (587 vehicles).

Eagle V

The Eagle V is the current version. There are two main variants, a 4×4 and a 6×6. The Eagle V 4×4 has 80% of its parts in common with the Eagle IV, which was a requirement of the German Army.

Prototypes and known variants in development

Based on the Eagle IV

  • GTV JLTV Eagle (General Tactical Vehicle JLTV): This prototype is based on the Eagle IV 4×4. GDLS offered this vehicle in the JLTV program that intended to replace the Humvee in the US Armed Forces. [9] A RFP for the TD phase was released in February 2008; the proposals by the industry were received by April 2008. In October 2008, the Pentagon selected three of the other competitors for the EMD phase (Engineering and Manufacturing Development). [10] Oshkosh won the competition with the L-ATV in August 2015. [11] This vehicle never entered service.
  • Eagle IV SOF: The Danish Forsvaret (special forces unit) modified an Eagle by removing the doors. It first appeared in 2008. An opening in the roof was made for access to the machine gun. some additional equipment were added, such as rolled camouflage nets that are there to quickly hide the vehicle and protect it from IR emissions. It was designed to replace the Humvee Jülkat.
  • Penman Raptor II, a Scottish variant of a licensed Eagle IV.

Prototype based on the Eagle V 4×4

  • Eagle SOF (Special Operation Forces): [12] This prototype was presented by GDELS Mowag at the armament fair Eurosatory 2022. The design is focused on providing a vehicle as robust, durable and mobile as possible. It has an open roof, and can be equipped with various modular kits of armament and protection. [13]
  • Denmark - Tank hunter killer: [14] Integration of the STAVS Kongsberg Protector equipped with the Spike LR2 anti-tank guided missile.
IRIS-T SLS Mk III IRIS-T SLS Mk. III, Diehl Defense, ILA 2024, Schoenefeld (ILA45464).jpg
IRIS-T SLS Mk III

Prototype based on the Eagle V 6×6

  • Führungsfahrzeug Kat. 3 Mowag and the Swiss army are developing this command vehicle in order to replace the older M113A1 Kommandopanzer 63/07.
  • IRIS-T SLS Mk III [15] Diehl Defence and Hensoldt presented a prototype for an air defence system based on the Eagle V 6×6 at DSEI 2021. It is one of the answer resulting from the NNbS working group on the short and very short air defence needs of the Bundeswehr. The IRIS-T SLS Mk III intends to be a short range defence system against targets such as helicopters, UAVs, aircraft and missiles. Although the missiles are installed in a slanted position, as they have a lock-on after launch capability, it can reach a target at 360°. The system is designed to engage targets in movement, with the goal of providing an air defence coverage to an assault force. It is a fully independent system that can be connected to a command-and-control system for air-defence.
