Chassis
The FENNEK is powered by a 6.6-liter, inline 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine delivering 240 Hp and over 819 Nm of torque, providing a favorable power-to-weight ratio for a vehicle in its class. The drivetrain is integrated with a fully automatic transmission system featuring six forward gears, one reverse gear, and a two-speed transfer case, ensuring constant four-wheel drive (4WD) capability for optimized off-road performance.
The suspension architecture comprises front and rear independent axles with coil springs, telescopic shock absorbers and torsion bar, enhancing vehicle stability and ride quality across uneven and rugged terrains. The platform rides on 365 /80 R20 tubeless run-flat tires, supported by a Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS), allowing real-time tire pressure modulation to adapt to varying surface conditions.
Braking performance is ensured through a dual-circuit air-over-hydraulic system with ventilated disc brakes on all wheels, supplemented by an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS).
Weight and Dimensions
Built for exceptional performance across rugged terrains, the MRAT variant features a ground clearance of 400 millimeters, allowing it to easily overcome natural and man-made obstacles. The vehicle’s dimensions —5,700 millimeters in length, 2,550 millimeters in width, and 1,790 millimeters in height from rooftop —provide a balance of compactness and durability. A 3,100-millimeter wheelbase contributes to superior stability, particularly during rapid movements over uneven ground. Weighing around 10,000 kilograms, the MRAT can carry up to 2,000 kilograms of cargo, resulting in a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of 12,000 kilograms.
Performance
With a turning radius of just 6.5 meters, the MRAT provides excellent maneuverability, even in tight spaces. It achieves an impressive approximately 20 horsepower per ton, reaching a top speed of 112 km/h and covering up to approximately 800 kilometers on a full tank. Designed to tackle the toughest terrains, the vehicle can manage a 60% incline and side slopes up to 35% with ease. Its approach and departure angles of approximately 35° and 35° allow it to navigate steep slopes and uneven ground confidently. The ability to ford through water up to 1000 millimeters deep further enhances its versatility across a wide range of environments.
Protection and Armament
The KNDS FENNEK is built to deliver reliable protection and survivability in modern reconnaissance and support missions. Its armored hull is designed to resist small arms fire and explosive threats, including improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and mines, while maintaining a low profile to enhance stealth and reduce detectability. The vehicle’s compact design and reduced thermal signature contribute to its survivability in high-risk environments. In terms of armament, the FENNEK can be fitted with a remote weapon station (RWS) or manual mounts capable of carrying a 7.62 mm or 12.7 mm machine gun, or a 40 mm automatic grenade launcher. This versatility allows it to perform a wide range of operational tasks—from reconnaissance and surveillance to defensive fire support—while ensuring crew safety.
Features
The FENNEK Medium Range Anti-Tank (MRAT) variant is a dedicated combat vehicle designed to locate, engage, and neutralize armored targets from a safe distance while offering excellent mobility and low visibility. Based on the agile and compact FENNEK 4×4 chassis, this version is equipped with a concealed missile launcher system capable of deploying medium-range anti-tank guided munitions, such as the Spike MR, to deliver pinpoint strikes against enemy armor and hardened positions.
In addition to its main armament, the vehicle is typically fitted with a 7.62mm or 12.7mm machine gun for close defense and area suppression. Its fire control suite includes advanced optics, thermal sensors, laser rangefinders, and day/night cameras, allowing it to detect and accurately engage threats in all weather and lighting conditions. Designed with stealth and survivability in mind, the MRAT variant features lightweight armor protection and a low silhouette, enhancing its effectiveness in reconnaissance and ambush roles. It is fully compatible with air transport by platforms like the C-130 and can be sling-loaded by helicopters such as the CH-47, enabling fast deployment in diverse operational settings.
