BOXER RCT30 - The most advanced 8x8 wheeled armoured personnel carrier in the world

The BOXER RCT30 combines the high mobility and outstanding protection of the BOXER with the firepower of the PUMA. The modular design of the BOXER allows the flexible adaptation to future military tasks or changing requirements thanks to its uniform drive module and a large number of specific, rapidly interchangeable mission modules.

Performance characteristics of the BOXER RCT30

BOXER is marketed by ARTEC GmbH and is a joint venture between KNDS and Rheinmetall.

Power pack

With its MTU V8 engine generating up to 600 kW, the power pack provides the BOXER with maximum mobility in any mission scenario

State-of-the-art chassis

The single-wheel suspension with its long spring travel and hydraulic end stop damper minimises stress on the crew when driving both on and off the road.

Highly protected

The modern add-on protection concept and modular design, consisting of a drive module and a mission module (safety cell), offer maximum possible protection for the crew.

Maximum hit probability

Thanks to the fully-stabilised, 30 mm automatic cannon and the multi-role SPIKE LR light guided missile system, the BOXER RCT30 can react appropriately to an extremely wide range of threats.

Crew

The large, armoured crew compartment provides ergonomically designed operator stations for the crew and a configurable stowage concept for a wide variety of mission scenarios.

Facts about the BOXER RCT30

Ideally suited to any mission scenario in any climate zone

The fully stabilised, cutting-edge remote-controlled turret with state-of-the-art optical and optronic sighting devices allows the entire crew 360° all-round surveillance, detection and identification of long range targets. The airburst-capable, fully stabilised 30mm automatic cannon enables precise target engagement even when driving. Situation-specific target engagement with two separate types of ammunition at the push of a button thanks to automatic double-belt feed.

Equipped with the latest C4I architecture, the BOXER RCT30 can be fully integrated into the existing battlefield management system and allows for the updating of navigation and tactical information for the crew with various interface functions for networked command.
