HiMoLaP – High Mobility Land Platform

A concept study on the integration of new technologies in the field of multi-purpose vehicles was followed by a commission to build a technology demonstrator for the BAAINBw (Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support). In 2018, FFG developed and produced the high mobility platform.

The demonstrator was subsequently approved by the BAAINBw and has since been successfully demonstrated in numerous tests.
