BOXER tracked: Expansion of the BOXER family to include an innovative track drive module.

The BOXER tracked combines the modularity of the proven BOXER system with the increased protection and mobility of the tracked vehicle.

Performance characteristics of the BOXER tracked

The BOXER tracked was developed to meet current international requirements and addresses the need for a small logistics footprint, low costs and a simple digital operating concept.

Circle
Highly modular

More than 20 mission modules are already available thanks to the interface commonality with the wheel-based BOXER system. New technologies can be introduced at any time via new mission modules without decommissioning the vehicle.

Circle
Modern drive technology

The vehicle can be supplemented with an electric drive at the customer's request. This enables silent approaches and quick spurts.

Circle
Outstanding mobility

With a power-to-weight ratio of up to 25 kW/t and a balanced and proven chassis, the BOXER tracked has superior off-road capability that significantly outperforms the wheeled BOXER.

Circle
Top protection

The use of cutting-edge protection technologies enables the use of modular protection configurations against different threats.

Circle
Enhancement potential

Thanks to the higher permissible overall weight, the protection level can be increased beyond that of the wheeled BOXER with the same mission equipment.

Circle
High durability

A balanced cooling and heating concept enables the vehicle to be operated without restriction in nearly any climate zone.

Circle
Modular stowage concept

Additional stowage options enable missile or UGV launchers to be carried in addition to personal equipment.

Facts on the BOXER tracked

Highly mobile, versatile, highly protected, and proven technologies

The tried and tested BOXER system taken to the next level. The innovative track drive module has an increased level of protection and a level of mobility that is otherwise only comparable to heavy tracked vehicles.

The optimal combination of durable and proven technologies, modular digital architecture, and ready-to-run hybrid drive makes the BOXER tracked particularly effective.

In the future, both current and forthcoming BOXER mission modules can be universally deployed utilizing a wheel drive module and/or a track drive module. The ability to switch between wheel and track without restriction allows mission modules to be deployed with the best mobility capability (wheel/track) adapted to the specific situation.

This inimitable symbiosis results in high operational readiness, efficiency and above all reliability – made in Germany.

Since the concept of the BOXER tracked is based on the modular system of the BOXER vehicle family, the drive module can be combined with all available BOXER mission modules. More than 20 different mission modules have already been introduced.

When different mission modules are deployed within different military branches, the logistical effort can be significantly reduced and new technologies can be introduced quickly and universally while retaining the same drive module.

Modularity of the BOXER family

The BOXER family was conceived as a modular platform. In all variants, it consists of a wheeled or tracked drive module and an interchangeable mission module. In total, more than 20 different mission modules are available.

By selecting different mission modules on two different mobility platforms, the vehicle family can be flexibly adapted to a wide range of operational conditions. Thus, a wide variety of capabilities can be demonstrated with the greatest possible operational efficiency.

Thanks to the modular principle underlying the drive and mission module, the concept also offers unlimited enhancement potential for new technologies. The BOXER family thus offers maximum flexibility, superior survivability, and exceptional reliability - today and in the future.
