The Allschutz Transport vehicle (ATF) Dingo is an armored luftverladbares armed MRAP wheeled vehicle for patrols - and Spähfahrten, inter alia, by the armed forces , the armed forces and the forces of Luxembourg and the army of Norway is used. The DINGO vehicle family is named after the Australian wild dog Dingo and comprises 16 vehicle variants. On June 20, 2013, the manufacturer Krauss-Maffei Wegmann handed over the 1000th DINGO for the Bundeswehr to the State Secretary in the Ministry of Defense, Christian Schmidt .

history

Dingo 1 prototype (version ATF 1)

Dingo 1 (Version ATF 2) of the Bundeswehr

Dingo 2A2 with the ground surveillance radar (BÜR) from EADS . A FLW 200 serves as a weapon station

With the start of the Bundeswehr ( IFOR ) missions abroad , the need for vehicles that would be particularly protected against attacks with anti-tank mines became apparent. Armoring existing vehicles such as the Fuchs armored personnel carrier , the MAN gl and the Wolf with modular protective equipment (MSA) was seen as a readily available interim solution. The MSA package, however, only offered adequate protection against anti-rifle mines and fire from infantry weapons. In addition, due to its dimensions and weight, the fox was difficult to use in areas with narrow streets and the limited load-bearing capacity of the bridges. A wolf offered more sitting strength than its MSA counterpart, but was also unsuitable for escort and patrol tasks due to the insufficient protection.

The armaments division of the Bundeswehr developed a mine deflector, which was available in 1990 , as part of armament task 41 - ballistic protection based on the experience of the South African military with a V-shaped blast deflector. The armaments division of Krauss-Maffei at that time integrated the deflector on a Unimog U-100-L chassis in cooperation with the engineering office Deisenroth, which specializes in armor . Department KG II 5 of the then Federal Office for Defense Technology and Procurement was also involved . The vehicle, known as ATF 1, was off-road and air-loadable and offered the crew protection against mines and armor-piercing ammunition from sniper rifles through a security cell .

However, the investigations carried out in 1995 showed the weak points of the chassis. The driving characteristics were inadequate, which led to the use of the longer U-1550-L chassis. The prototype, now called ATF 2, therefore had a higher payload and was superior to the ATF 1 in difficult road and terrain conditions due to its greater mobility and maneuverability. This was followed by internal factory tests and inspections by the Bundeswehr technical departments . The presentation of the ATF-2 prototype at the troop schools was less successful. At the time, the troop favored the GTK Boxer, which was under development .

The final breakthrough for Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) was the abandonment of the "Superfuchs" project, a mine accident with a TPz Fuchs in Macedonia and the demand of the then Secretary of State for Armaments for an immediate market inspection and procurement of protected vehicles. The Defense Department of the Federal Ministry of Defense favored the ATF 2 over foreign products . On October 18, 1999, the contract was awarded as an emergency requirement with a budget of 42 million DM, which was approved just three days later on October 21 by the then Federal Minister of Defense Rudolf Scharping .

After the approval of the budget committee on December 15, 1999, KMW officially received the order one day later for the delivery of a first construction lot with a total of 56 ATF Dingo. Delivery began on August 24, 2000 with the first two series vehicles and ended at the turn of the year. Most of the vehicles went directly to the task forces in Kosovo ( KFOR ) and Macedonia for troop tests under operational conditions. The results of these troop tests led to several changes to the dingo. The suspension of the storage box had to be reinforced, as it often broke off in the event of strong impacts. The suspension also had to be reinforced, as it was not able to cope with the higher weight of the dingo compared to the Unimog and was too flexible, so that some soldiers became seasick while driving and the dingo tended to tip over. Smaller changes concerned the equipment of the dingo with regard to ease of maintenance and operational safety.

Due to the positive operational experience and the now high level of acceptance among the troops, the Bundeswehr decided in November 2001 to order a second construction lot. The number was 57 vehicles. A third construction lot followed in March 2002 and increased the total number of Dingo 1 to 147 vehicles. Production was discontinued after DaimlerChrysler took the U-1550-L chassis out of its range. As a consequence, the development of a successor model began in 2002.

The vehicle known as ATF 3 or Dingo 2 was based on the Unimog U-5000 chassis. It allows a higher axle load, which in turn allows a larger, more massive safety cell to further increase occupant protection. On behalf of the BWB, KMW built a demonstrator as well as two pre-series vehicles with a long wheelbase (3850 mm) and a pre-series vehicle with a short wheelbase (3250 mm). Between November 2003 and May 2004, the two pre-series vehicles with long wheelbases were subjected to intensive tests at KMW and the defense technology departments.

The first Dingo 2 of the Bundeswehr were 52 vehicles of the type patrol and security vehicle (PatSi) with long wheelbase in the version GE A1, which were procured in 2005. The total price was 36 million euros. Independently of this, KMW received an order from the BWB at the end of 2005 to supply a Dingo 2 demonstrator for class 3 of the GFF project.

Another 149 vehicles of the PatSi type in the GE A2 version followed from June 29, 2006; 15 of these were intended as emergency requirements (ESB). The order volume was 109 million euros. Due to the rapidly deteriorating security situation in Afghanistan, procurement was accelerated in 2007, so that instead of the 33 vehicles originally planned for the year, 100 vehicles had already been delivered by the end of 2007. In the meantime, the vehicles were banned from driving in the German Armed Forces in 2006 because the risk of a brake failure was established and the front axle of a vehicle in Afghanistan caught fire due to overheating. The manufacturers KMW and DaimlerChrysler then sent mechanics to Kabul to help with troubleshooting.

In July 2006, the Federal Office for Defense Technology and Procurement placed an order for 78 Dingo 2 as a carrier platform for the ground surveillance radar (BÜR) from EADS to replace the RASIT and ABRA radar systems. The system can locate movements on the ground and in the airspace close to the ground and is specially designed to detect asymmetrical threats. By the end of 2009, two system demonstrators had been delivered to the client to provide evidence. Series production was supposed to start in 2012, but was ultimately not implemented.

On June 26, 2008, the budget committee of the German Bundestag decided to add another 98 Dingo 2 (50 pieces in the patrol and security vehicle version GE A2.3, 4 as combat damage repair and maintenance team (GSI- / WtgTrp) GE C1 and an option for 44 further GE C1) to be ordered. On April 6, 2010 the delivery order for the option was placed by the Federal Office for Defense Technology and Procurement (BWB), which was handed over to the Bundeswehr by the end of 2010.

In 2009, the Federal Police received two vehicles for use in Kabul for the Task Force Protection Tasks in Crisis Areas (ASSIK).

Another 34 in the GE A2.3 version with FLW 100 and 200 followed in 2009 and 41 GE A2.3 in the passenger and material transport version (PersMatTrsp.) On March 29, 2010. KMW itself exhibited in September 2011 during an armaments fair in London the further development Heavy Duty , with which a payload of three tons is possible. The total weight reaches 14.5 tons.

On June 4, 2012 KMW received another order from the German Armed Forces for the delivery of 79 Dingo 2 PersMatTrsp. As part of this contract, the thousandth dingo was delivered to the Bundeswehr.

Mission profile

Dingo 2 at Mazar-e-Sharif. The Dingo 2 of the first series have no additional side mirrors in the engine compartment and four lashing eyes under the entrance doors.

The main tasks of the ATF Dingo are convoy and patrol trips on reasonably paved ground. The vehicle is mainly designed for use in " Peace Support Operations ", especially in mine-prone areas. Due to its construction, it offers excellent mine protection in this weight class , but can also be used in densely built-up urban areas due to its relatively small dimensions. The protection of the occupants has priority with the ATF Dingo, and the weapon system - unlike the TPz Fuchs - can be operated under armor protection.

For use in medium and difficult terrain, however, the combat vehicle is less suitable than the TPz Fuchs, for example, because it has a higher center of gravity, only four wheels and a softer suspension. Again, the ATF Dingo is air-transportable, so that a fully equipped ATF Dingo including crew and equipment with a Transall C-160 can be relocated around the world just as quickly as infantry units.

Construction and protection

The ATF Dingo 1 has a modular structure comprising the following five elements: chassis, protective cell, storage space, engine compartment and mine deflector. All assemblies are only connected to one another via the chassis, on which they are in turn movably mounted. In the Dingo 2, the mine deflector was integrated into the protective cell, the variant Dingo 2 GE A2.3 received improvements in the armoring area.

On the chassis there are tires that have a run- flat rim that allows you to continue driving for 40 kilometers at a maximum of 50 km / h even if the tire casing is destroyed. The low weight of the Dingo in relation to the degree of protection was achieved by deflecting armored elements: The surfaces of the vehicle that are particularly at risk, for example the viewing windows, are attached at a 20 ° angle to the perpendicular, so that the projectiles hit by crouching or lying shooters after a distance at angles of up to 30 ° on the discs, which they can then no longer penetrate even with larger calibers. The same applies to the mine deflector.

The angled armor is one of the great advantages over the US HMMWV , which requires much thicker armor plates to offer similar occupant protection. The engine compartment is located in front of the safety cell on the chassis and is designed in such a way that it protects the engine from direct fire from firearms with a caliber of up to 7.62 × 51 mm in order to keep the vehicle mobile even if it is hit.

The mine deflector has a V-shaped profile ( V-hull ) and sits under the security cell. It consists of several layers of special protective materials ( Mexas -Panzerung) and forwards by its form about half of the energy of a possible mine or explosive blast case to the side off to the safety cell from bottom to provide additional protection.

The protective cell of the Dingo 1 sits above the mine deflector on the chassis and is made of armored steel with additional internal protective materials and five large armored glass panes for a good all-round view. It is designed to accommodate five fully equipped soldiers. The entire security cell is protected against fire from weapons with a caliber of up to 7.62 × 51 mm NATO and the explosive force of 4 kilograms (kg) TNT . The interior of the protective cell is designed in such a way that no component can tear itself loose and endanger the occupants in the event of fire or an explosion.

The storage space is mounted on the chassis behind the safety cell. The explosion-proof and bulletproof fuel tank is located in the lower half of the storage space. To save weight, the upper half of the storage space is not armored, but is covered by a tarpaulin over a steel frame. The storage space has a tailgate for easier loading. The paintwork of the ATF Dingo contains infrared filtering elements so that the vehicle is difficult to see with thermal imaging devices and is also a difficult target for projectiles seeking heat.

Armament

Dingo 2A2 in ISAF deployment in 2009. The KMW 1530 with MG3 serves as armament

The standard weapon system for all dingoes is the mechanical overhead weapon station KMW 1530. The weapon station, which is also used in the Fennek reconnaissance vehicle , is equipped as standard with an MG3 in caliber 7.62 × 51 mm. It is installed in the center of the back of the security cell and is operated by one person. Additional kits are available for the GMW 40 × 53 mm grenade machine gun and the heavy 12.7 × 99 mm NATO Browning M2 machine gun , but this is no longer permitted due to the increased wear on the mount and is only required used on the FLW 200. The weapon station enables the shooter to operate the weapon under complete armor protection, whereby the weapon can be fired both electrically and manually (emergency firing). The shooter only has to partially leave the armor protection for reloading or in the event of a weapon failure. The ammunition that is not required for the weapon is stored in separate compartments in the security cell. The directional angle of the weapon station is 360 ° and the elevation angle is −5 ° and + 45 °. The purely optical aiming aid of the weapon station has a four-fold magnification and a night aiming device, which however requires electricity.

Another possibility to arm the dingo is with the Krauss-Maffei Wegmann FLW . The light weapon station of the type FLW 100 (for MG3 , MG4 ) or the heavy FLW 200 (up to GMW, BMG 12.7mm) is controlled via a 12-inch screen from the interior and has a daytime viewing channel with 10x optical zoom and by a thermal imaging device (cooled with FLW 200 or uncooled with FLW 100) via a night vision option. A gyro-controlled weapon stabilization allows use while driving. The weapon system is also able to automatically recognize the respective armament and to set the corresponding values ​​for the ballistics. The directional range is 360 ° to the side and −15 ° to + 70 ° in height. The Dingo 2 procured as part of the Protected Command and Functional Vehicles project will be equipped with new weapon stations by the Bundeswehr after their introduction. Delivery of the 110 FLW 200s ordered was planned for the beginning of 2011.

Due to the threat situation in Afghanistan, additional grenade launchers and necessary equipment kits were ordered by the Bundeswehr in August 2010 as part of an emergency response. The troop solution with the KMW 1530 is an intermediate step in order to use the GMW on the Dingo 2A2. Due to an industry-related delivery time of nine months, the GMWs were used by the Fenneks in Germany that were not needed. The weapon holder is supplemented by an upgrade kit to accommodate the grenade launcher.

The Dingo 2 of the Belgian armed forces carry the ARROWS-300 weapon station with a Browning M2 from FN-Herstal . Like the German weapon station, the system has weapon stabilization, a day vision camera and a night vision device and can be controlled from the interior. The directional range is 360 ° to the side and −20 ° to + 55 ° in height. Compared to the FLW 100, the weapon station can be provided with additional armor.

Operational experience

ISAF

The effectiveness of the anti-mine equipment was demonstrated on June 3, 2005 in the Kabul area. After the end of a Luna mission, the last vehicle in the group, a Dingo, hit an anti-tank mine with six kg of explosives on its right front wheel. The detonation threw the dingo two meters to the side. A crater two meters in diameter and half a meter deep was created. The wheel, suspension and the unprotected front part of the vehicle were completely destroyed, but the safety cell held up. Only two occupants suffered minor injuries from the shock impact on the vehicle.

A year later, on June 27, 2006, a Dingo 1 survived a suicide attack with a car bomb near Kunduz . Although the vehicle was not originally designed for such incidents, the dingo's occupants were uninjured in the explosion, which occurred about 25 m away from the vehicle.

On March 27, 2008, two German soldiers were seriously injured and one was slightly injured in an IED attack on an ATF Dingo near Kunduz. The vehicle fell on its side due to the force of an explosive charge weighing around ten kg.

On July 23, 2009, at the beginning of Operation Adler, a Bundeswehr dingo was badly damaged in an attack with three bazookas, but nobody was harmed.

On April 2, 2010, a dingo was caught in a booby trap during the Good Friday battle. Four soldiers were wounded in the explosion and the vehicle was so badly damaged that it later had to be destroyed by German forces.

By April 2010, the Bundeswehr officially recorded five Dingo 2 as total failures and thus lost them. In detail, these are the versions GE A1 (one vehicle), GE A2 (three vehicles) and GE A2.3 (one vehicle).
