Recently Tank-Masters.de had the opportunity to photograph the Transportpanzer 1A8A5 Fuchs Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Command and Control Vehicle with 6./Objektschutzregiment der Luftwaffe in Diepholz.

At the moment the Bundeswehr possesses three Transport 1A8A5 Fuchs Standard mit SEM 80/90, mit Zusatzpanzerung, IED-/Minenschutz, Raumkühlanlage, Schutzausstattung CG-12 und Einbausatz Führung und Funk Kampfmittelbeseitigung (EOD) mit fernbedienbarer leichter Waffenstation FLW 200 Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Command and Control Vehicles fitted with a RCWS.

The vehicle is based on the TPz 1A8A1 Fuchs, yet from the outside it looks nearly identical to the TPz 1A8A3A1.

Besides others, the vehicle features a Packpot 510 manipulator, marking set, hook and line set, XRS-3 X-ray source, VMR 3 dual sensor detector as well as a Med-Eng EOD 9 bomb disposal suit and helmet ensemble.
