The Fennek has been developed in response to a Heer requirement for a deep reconnaissance vehicle with greater stealth characteristics that the Lynx tracked reconnaissance vehicle. In a secondary role it is able to fulfill the need for a road security and convoy escort vehicle. The vehicle can be configured to meet other requirements and alternative armament packages are under consideration at this time.
