The MOWAG
Eagle is a Swiss armoured version of the American HMMWV. A total of
365 EAGLE 4x4 reconnaissance vehicles and 120 EAGLE 4x4 artillery
forward observation vehicles have been built in the past eight years
and are in service with the Swiss and Danish Forces.
The newly developed EAGLE IV, based on the DURO, is suitable for
reconnaissance, communications and observation vehicle as well as for
UN missions and border patrol.
The MOWAG
development on the basis of the proven DURO chassis is distinguished
through a very high payload versus a low GVW, with a high ballistic
and mine protection level as well as exceptional mobility both on and
off-road. Due to the communality with the DURO family of vehicles, the
maintenance and training costs can be kept low in a fleet mission.
