Defenture delivers first vehicle for the Dutch Air Mobile Brigade
On October 13, 2023, Defenture handed over the first test vehicle to the Dutch Materiel and IT Command (COMMIT) for the 11 Air Mobile Brigade (11LMB). This vehicle will first be tested and equipped with all communication equipment before it is handed over to the Air Mobile Brigade. The contract entails 41 GRF “Vector” air transportable tactical vehicles (ATTVs).
The Dutch Ministry of Defense currently has 75 GRF vehicles in its fleet, mainly with the Special Operation Forces (Korps Commandotroepen). . In addition, Defenture is at an advanced stage with the development and delivery of a, from the GRF derived, larger type of vehicle with a payload of approximately 4000 kg. called the Mammoth. This vehicle is being developed specifically for and in cooperation with the German Kommando Speziale Kräfte (KSK).
The vehicles have been developed in close collaboration with users and well-known knowledge institutes, ensuring uniformity and interoperability between the systems for countries that have them in service. The armed forces of both Germany and Switzerland are now using various versions and configurations from the Defenture portfolio.
