Rheinmetall Australia introduces new Lynx Combat Support vehicle

Rheinmetall has unveiled its new Lynx combat support vehicle (CSV), claiming that it provides “significant flexibility” to soldiers performing recovery, repair, maneuver support, and support logistics during operations in the field.

Introduced at a company event in Queensland, Australia, the Lynx CSV is based on a previous version of the Lynx infantry fighting vehicle (IFV). Australian engineers teamed up to develop the vehicle using locally manufactured steel and other materials.

According to Rheinmetall Managing Director Gary Stewart, the Lynx CSV is “the most sophisticated and capable” armored vehicle ever developed in Australia. He described it as a “workhorse” vehicle similar to the Australian “ute” utility vehicle.
