A team consisting of an artillery observer and a forward air controller for reconnaissance and the coordination of tactical fire support of army, air force and navy.
Performance characteristics of the FENNEK (J)FST
KNDS Deutschland supplied the German Bundeswehr with the Joint Fire Support Team (JFST) variant. The team (two FENNEK vehicles) consists of an artillery observer and a forward air controller (FAC). In the Dutch armed forces, this variant is referred to as FST.
The FENNEK (J)FST is equipped with exceptionally powerful latest-generation observation and reconnaissance equipment with an extremely high range. The additional communication connection to the speech and data radio of the air force and navy make the FENNEK in (J)FST unique. A laser designator can also determine targets for the air force and guide laser-controlled ammunition to the target.

Facts about the FENNEK (J)FST
Extremely mobile, high reconnaissance performance, quiet and self-sufficient for up to 5 days
The FENNEK owes its outstanding performance capability to an ideal combination of reconnaissance capabilities, mobility, maneuverability and camouflage. The three-man crew – driver, commander and radio operator/observer – can operate self-sufficiently for five days. Equipment, operating supplies, drinking water and food are carried in the vehicle. Air-transportable in the C-130, the FENNEK can even be transported to remote deployment zones quickly and easily. With a total weight of up to 12 t, the FENNEK can easily handle inclinations of over 60% and slopes of over 35%. It has a turn circle of 13 m, and fording capability of 1 m in water.
Thanks to an automatic central tyre inflation system, the vehicle can adjust perfectly to the ground conditions at hand. Its high-performance power pack is complemented by its engageable all-wheel drive, fully automatic manual transmission and distributor gearbox. The H-drivetrain enables its short construction and low center of gravity, which guarantee high mobility, even on tough terrain. The use of cutting-edge engine technology gives the FENNEK a range of nearly 1,000 km.
