The Danish MoD awarded a CHF 46 million ($52 million) contract to GDELS-Mowag to deliver 57 Eagles V vehicles. This is the second order under the Armoured Patrol Vehicle (APV) framework agreement signed in 2017. Deliveries will begin by the end of 2021 and will be completed in 2022.

The Danish MoD awarded a CHF 46 million ($52 million) contract to General Dynamics European Land Systems-Mowag (GDELS-Mowag) to deliver 57 Eagle V vehicles (56 in the patrol version and the first prototype of the reconnaissance open variant).

Deliveries will begin by the end of 2021 and will be completed in 2022. Giuseppe Chillari, GDELS Vice President for Wheeled Vehicles and Managing Director of GDELS-Mowag claimed that Denmark is the first nation to order the open top version of Eagle 4x4 vehicle.

This is the second order under the Armoured Patrol Vehicle (APV) framework agreement signed by GDELS-Mowag and the Danish MoD Acquisition and Logistics Organisation in June 2017, after the Eagle V was selected winner of the APV tender.

According to Shephard Defence Insight, the initial contract covered the purchase of 36 vehicles in five configurations: open top reconnaissance, closed top reconnaissance, patrol, electronic warfare, and logistics. Deliveries were scheduled from the second quarter of 2018 until April 2019.

The Eagle V is a Light Tactical vehicle family that provides a high level of protection with more than 1,500 platforms in service worldwide.

It has a flexible and highly adaptable superstructure and significant payload capacity. The platform’s inherent growth potential ensures the ability for future upgrades and technology insertion.
