Arquus unveils Fenris 6×6 armoured vehicle for 105mm fire support

Arquus has unveiled Fenris, a 6×6 armoured vehicle built around a 105mm gun and sized for air transport, at Eurosatory in Paris. Jointly developed with John Cockerill Defense, the 26-tonne platform pairs a 500 hp engine with a three-person crew, active suspension and turret-integrated drone protection.

The vehicle carries the Cockerill 3105 system, with NATO ammunition compatibility and a claimed reach of about 2 km in direct fire and 11 km in indirect mode. Arquus positions Fenris as a successor to the AMX-10 RC, while its airlift profile and rapid development target mechanised forces that need protected direct-fire support.

If ordered quickly, delivery could follow in about 12 months.
