Eurosatory: FFG displays new G5 command post
Flensburger Fahrzeugbau Gesellschaft (FFG) has launched a prototype of its tracked Protected Mission Module Carrier G5 (PMMC G5) configured as a command and control vehicle.
FFG launched development of the PMMC G5 as a private venture after identifying a market need for a modular vehicle family which provides a high level of protection against ballistic, mine and IED threats to replace outdated vehicles such as the tracked M113, BMP or MT-LB families of vehicles. FFG first displayed the PMMC G5 at Eurosatory 2012.
Three prototypes have been built to date. The vehicle displayed at Eurosatory is equipped with a Dynamit
