The internal volume of the Lynx KF41 drive module is unrivalled for a tracked IFV with manned turret.

The LYNX family is based on a modular platform that meets the operational requirements of today's and tomorrow's medium-weight tracked vehicles. It combines effective firepower, advanced protection and improved mobility through modern chassis technologies and a highly efficient drive system, making it one of the most powerful infantry fighting vehicles in its class. The LYNX family uses a common role kit that can be equipped with various mission modules. This means that the LYNX family offers a wide range of variants that can be optimally adapted to different mission requirements. This reduces both, initial acquisition costs and long-term maintenance costs, with a commonality factor of more than 70% within the vehicle family. In addition, several armament options are available, including weapon systems in various calibers, allowing the vehicle to be tailored to specific requirements.

Thanks to its growth potential, the vehicle can easily accommodate additional weight through modular systems and future upgrades, while its electrical architecture is prepared for future technologies. The Lynx KF41 has a ‘digital backbone’ with a generic open architecture that allows easy integration of new mission systems. The entire protection system is also modular and expandable to enable the vehicle to cope with the highly versatile threats on the battlefield. Various protection kits are available for peacekeeping operations, combat against irregular forces, including in urban environments, and mechanized combat against an equal opponent. Ergonomic aspects are at the heart of the design, with features aimed at reducing vibrations and improving crew comfort. Together, these elements contribute to a balanced system that prioritizes operational performance, adaptability and crew efficiency. 

Combat power

In its standard configuration, the LYNX is equipped as an armoured personnel carrier with the Lance 2 turret and state-of-the-art electronics, sensors and weapon systems. The 30 mm main gun and optionally integrated anti-tank missiles ensure precise firepower for a wide range of targets. Stabilised weapon systems and precise target tracking with killer-killer capability guarantee superior responsiveness and striking power.

Lynx KF41

Lynx Skyranger 30 is a state-of-the-art multi-role air defence system. It combines superior firepower with the dynamics and elevation needed to successfully engage highly agile single or swarming targets performing loiter, pop-up or dive attacks. This makes it the ideal solution for defence against drone strikes and other airborne threats playing a crucial role in current scenarios. Integrated active search and passive tracking sensors render the Lynx a powerful, autonomous shooter with both gun and missiles.

Lynx IFV hits with Spike ATGM

The Lynx KF41 demonstrates pinpoint accuracy by engaging a distant target with the integrated Spike Anti-Tank-Guided-Missile (ATGM). Integration of this hit capability testifies to the maturity and effectiveness of the most-modern tracked infantry fighting vehicle in the world. Looking at a long history of systems integration, Rheinmetall is prepared to equip their platforms with latest ATGM technologies as they become available.
