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.
