Hello
I have a question about two vehicles in German ISAF : Movag IV and GFF4 (Grizzly). Can somebody tell me if those vehicles where fitted with special equipment like anti IED devices or something else for mission in Afghanistan ?
Thank You for help

I guess you mean the Eagle IV built by MOWAG. I haven't seen anti-IED devices fitted to them, but some have a KMW FLW100/200 remotely controlled weapon station mounted on the roof. :



A few more Eagle IV pics on the Bundeswehr website

Sorry I have no idea about the Grizzly...

no they weren't.
Eagle IV has an add on armour as standard( balaton models Eagle is probably a prototype version), and GFF4 if it was sent to Afghanistan wouldn't have any extras because it's fited with IED protection as standard.

GFF 4 Grizzly is a KMW prototype, but never send to Afghanistan.
Eagke IV of course have Counter-IED jammersm but these are not as pronounced as the US made Dukes and other stuff. Of course, informations about the jammers are highly classified.
@ Frenchy: I only saw FLW 100 RWS on the Eagle IV`s I been on.
