KMW and Nexter apparently developed a new amphibious vehicle. No idea if this will be KMW or Nexter branded...

This is a KNDS brand. 

Nexter already communicated about AFV they will showcase at EuroSatory (TITUS with UGV kit, Jaguar....).

 

Shareholders were calling for a rapid common project between Nexter and KMW. Here it is.

Thanks.

 

But that's quite a far cry from the 25 (I think that's the number) of the LVTP-7.

So if it's aimed at replacing it (at least in some country) it will probably have to be significantly cheaper to compete (unless the AAV was originally too large for the needs of the client).

It could probably hold more troops if it didn't have that silly engine arrangement.

I received the “two minute product brief” (which included the use of augmented reality goggles to visualise the power train) on this yesterday. 

 

A couple of design considerations and concepts:

- designed for river crossings & use on inland waterways. 

- targeted customers are primarily South & Central American and Asian (including Indonesia, Colombia, & Singapore). 

- Operation in Sea States greater than Sea State 1 is questionable. 

- 5 metric tonne payload. 

- not intended for opposed landings. 

- can be fitted with a turret - but cannot carry troops if so fitted. 

- Armoured capsule is comparatively small, relative to the vehicle size. 

- wholly funded by KMW. 

- Marder based.

Question: is it a correct thread for this vehicle? Or i should've been posting this in German vehicles thread like @2805662 did with his photos of this vehicle http://sturgeonshouse.ipbhost.com/topic/11-stug-iii-thread-and-also-other-german-vehicles-i-guess/?page=49&tab=comments#comment-133254
?

UPD:19-12-2018
With words "pictures from that pdf" there should've been this link https://gallery.mailchimp.com/ebe687fe800f7d0f2f28fa168/files/cd7abd56-13d7-4921-8eb5-aa4eee834446/Lynx_KF41_Special_Supplement_final.01.pdf 
whicn wasn't - I guess it was lost in process of editing this post severall times to add more pictures.
