- Germany’s parliament approved an order for 49 Defenture AGF-2 and UFK mobile battlefield platforms for the Bundeswehr’s Special Forces Command, with deliveries starting in 2027.
- The framework contract includes an option for Germany to purchase up to 31 additional vehicles following testing and deployment.
Germany’s national parliament has approved a procurement order for Dutch defense manufacturer Defenture to deliver 49 mobile battlefield platforms to the Bundeswehr’s Special Forces Command, known as Kommando Spezialkräfte, or KSK.
The vehicles are scheduled to enter service starting in 2027, according to information released on December 18, 2025.
The order covers two variants developed specifically for German special operations forces: the AGF-2 combat and reconnaissance platform and the UFK tactical support vehicle. Under the framework contract, Germany also holds an option to procure an additional 31 platforms at a later stage.
As noted by Defenture, the parliamentary decision follows a multi-year development and testing program carried out in close cooperation with the KSK and BAAINBw, the Bundeswehr’s central procurement and technical authority. The process was designed to ensure the platforms meet the operational demands of Germany’s special forces.
The AGF-2 and UFK platforms were developed jointly with KSK personnel, reflecting mission requirements drawn directly from operational experience. Four test vehicles were delivered in 2024, after which KSK and Defenture conducted extensive trials across a wide range of environments. According to the company, testing took place in high-altitude regions, desert areas, arctic climates, and jungle terrain.
Throughout these trials, the platforms were evaluated under different climatic and terrain conditions to assess mobility, reliability, and suitability for special operations. Defenture said the vehicles demonstrated full operational capability in challenging environments and extreme weather, supporting the decision to proceed with serial procurement.
The AGF-2 and UFK are configured to support modern battlefield requirements, with integrated C4ISR capabilities that allow seamless command, control, communications, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. The vehicles are designed to support dispersed and high-tempo operations, where situational awareness and rapid coordination are critical.
According to the company, the platforms feature optimized storage and integrated systems to carry mission-critical equipment, including weapons, operator gear, and specialized tools. The design allows configurations to be adapted based on mission needs, a requirement emphasized by special operations units.
Defenture worked with several armament and systems partners during development. For weapon integration, the company collaborated with Sima-Innovation, Dillon Aero, KNDS France, and Fjord Defence. SurCom International served as the main partner for integrating the vehicles’ overall IT architecture.
René de Wit, Chief Executive Officer of Defenture, said the order reflects confidence in the company’s approach to military mobility.
“This order is a testament of the quality of Defenture’s integrated mobile battlefield solutions,” de Wit said. “The AGF-2 is a one of kind platform with its agility, speed and versatility. The confidence shown by the German parliament, the Bundeswehr and KSK in our solutions highlights the importance of a European approach to defence procurement. We are looking forward to working with KSK to build and deliver these advanced platforms.”
The vehicles will be deployed by the KSK, Germany’s elite special operations force, which conducts missions ranging from direct action and reconnaissance to counterterrorism and crisis response. Mobility platforms used by the unit are expected to support rapid deployment, high payload flexibility, and survivability across diverse operating environments.
For Defenture, the German order fits within its broader strategy of supplying modular, high-tech mobility solutions to international defense customers. The company said the program will support employment and technological development in the Netherlands, while reinforcing its role as a European supplier of specialized military vehicles.
