Arquus is pushing 105mm firepower onto wheels with Fenris, a new 6×6 armored combat vehicle revealed at Eurosatory 2026.
Weighing 26 tonnes (28,660 pounds), the vehicle is built on a Jaguar EBRC-based chassis measuring about 3 meters (9.8 feet) wide and 2.19 meters (7.2 feet) high.
It is constructed from welded ballistic aluminum and protected by medium-level armor, with upgrade options to enhance resistance against heavier threats.
Powered by a 500-horsepower engine, Fenris can operate in 6×4 mode on paved roads to reduce fuel consumption, then switch to full 6×6 drive for off-road mobility.
An active suspension system allows the driver to adjust ride height and control pitch, improving stability and performance in complex terrain.
Combat Punch
The 105mm main weapon system is compatible with NATO-standard munitions and can elevate up to 40 degrees, extending its range to approximately 11 kilometers (7 miles).
Designed for firing on the move, the system reportedly achieves a 95 percent first-hit probability at ranges of around 2 kilometers (1.2 miles).
For counter-unmanned aerial system missions, it is fitted with the Hornet remotely controlled weapon station armed with an FN MAG 58 7.62mm machine gun.
Development Timeline
In development for roughly a year, the vehicle remains in testing but could be delivered within 12 months under urgent operational requirements, or around 16 months under standard timelines.
“Presented to the public for the first time, the FENRIS … combines the expertise of Arquus and [John Cockerill Defence] to meet the evolving direct fire support needs of land forces,” the company stated.
“For Arquus, the FENRIS also embodies the continuation of its long-standing expertise in armored vehicles and tactical mobility.”
