Zwilling, Ralph ENOK 5.4. The Enok 5.4 Protected Wheeled Vehicle and Variants in the Modern German Army

The aim of the Protected Command and Multipurpose Vehicles (Geschützte Führungs- und Funktionsfahrzeuge, or GFF) project is to optimally meet the armed forces' need for different protected platforms for operations, and to replace outdated unprotected vehicles.
