The DMV Anaconda is a Dutch armoured vehicle built by Dutch Military Vehicles (DMV).[3][4][5] It is based on the Iveco Daily 4x4 and specially designed for service in the Dutch Caribbean.[6][7] The vehicle replaces the Mercedes-Benz G280 CDI’s and Unimogs of the Royal Netherlands Marine Corps.[8]

History

Two DMV Anaconda’s during a military exercise.

In 2018 the Dutch Ministry of Defence issued a European tender for the replacement of the Mercedes-Benz G280 CDI’s that were used by the Royal Netherlands Marine Corps in the Dutch Caribbean.[5][9] The Mercedes-Benz G280 CDI’s had to be replaced because the vehicles were needed for a mission of the Royal Netherlands Army in Mali.[7] The vehicles were also overqualified for the tasks that they needed to perform in the Dutch Caribbean.[6] In the same year that the tender was issued, the Dutch company DEBA Bedrijfswagens (English: DEBA Trucks[10]) was declared as winner and awarded a contract to deliver the vehicles.[11][3]

The vehicles were built by Dutch Military Vehicles (DMV) and named DMV Anaconda.[1][12] DMV emerged as company in 2018 from DEBA Bedrijfswagens.[5][4] The first 36 Anaconda’s were planned to be delivered in January 2019.[12][3] Eventually 35 were delivered in January with 11 to follow later.[13]

14 Anaconda’s were ordered as replacement of the Land Rovers of the Royal Netherlands Marine Corps.[14] They will serve as temporary solution until the 12kN Iveco vehicles will enter service.[14]

Design

The Anaconda has a length of 5.275 meters (m), width of 2.26m and a height of 2.30m.[6] When it comes to weight the vehicle has a mass of 3900 kilograms (kg) and a load capacity of 2100 kg.[8] There is space in the vehicle for a crew of four plus gunner.[15]

Armament

The Anaconda can be equipped with two machine guns.[16]
