RATEL
RATEL – Agile. Armored. Advanced
Developed by KNDS, the innovative new Armored Vehicle RATEL is a modern command and multi-role vehicle that combines high mobility with best possible protection. The RATEL concept is easy to describe yet effective: the vehicle features a robust, high-performance chassis with single-wheel suspension, long spring excursion and high ground clearance for excellent mobility in all types of terrain. With a turning radius of less than 15 meters and a 200 kW engine output, the RATEL performs superbly under all conditions.
A self-supporting safety cell made of steel and composite armor sets a completely new standard for vehicles in this class. As a result, the RATEL provides excellent protection against ballistic, mine, and IED threats, as well as NBC protection. The vehicle can be equipped with a remote-controlled weapon station, including MG 5.56 / 7.62 / 12.7 mm machine guns or a 40 mm grenade launcher.
RATEL / Light Vehicle. Heavy Capabilities.
RATEL with Sniper Detection
Complex threat situations and modern combat management demand the highest level of protection but also great agility and maneuverability. KNDS developed a command vehicle that resembles a modern SUV in terms of handling and versatility, while readily fulfilling the requirements of modern army operations. The RATEL sets a new standard in safety and security and thus belongs to an innovative, powerful, and future-oriented generation of armored vehicles.
The RATEL is a flexible vehicle, providing high mobility in confined urban areas. The self-supporting safety cell, made from armored steel and adaptive composite armor, maximizes the safety of all crew members. The vehicle is easy to operate in heavy terrain and various climate zones.
