Comprehensive Modernization and Armored Fleet Expansion in the Dutch Army
Technical Capacity and Field Balances
Armored Combat Support Vehicles (ACSV) to be procured within the framework of the program will be deployed in the field in various configurations such as ambulance, command-and-control, minelaying, and driver training. Similarly, Wisent 2 heavy recovery vehicles are being integrated into the inventory to tow malfunctioning or damaged heavy military equipment to a safe zone. While high-performance fibers are being procured for the ballistic protection systems of these vehicles, domestic Dutch defense companies are also actively taking part in assembly, maintenance, and critical sub-component production, strengthening the national industrial base.
