<strong>The</strong> <strong>M113</strong> <strong>Modernisation</strong> <strong>Concept</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> technical concept of the American <strong>M113</strong> dates<br />
back to the fifties. Numerous versions of these commercial<br />
vehicles can be found around the world. Over<br />
80,000 <strong>M113</strong>’s have been built and are in use in more<br />
than 40 countries. As early as in the eighties, FFG began<br />
to undertake steps to improve the <strong>M113</strong>. As a result<br />
of its versatility, FFG has developed individual modernisation<br />
solutions for the <strong>M113</strong> within the scope of<br />
the specific requirement profiles. Existing integration<br />
kits can still be used with it. <strong>The</strong>se concepts lay the<br />
foundation for converting the <strong>M113</strong> into a modern<br />
vehicle that is able to meet today’s demands. More<br />
than 1000 FFG modernised <strong>M113</strong> vehicles are used<br />
by the German Federal Armed Forces today, as they<br />
are in Denmark, Norway and Australia.
