ATF stands for ''Allschutz-Transport-Fahrzeug'', meaning all-protected transport vehicle in [German](/source/German_language). It is named after the Australian native dog, the [dingo](/source/dingo). The Dingo 2 entered service in late 2004 after undergoing trials from November 2003-May 2004.{{cite web |title=Dingo 2 All-Protected Carrier Vehicle |url=https://www.army-technology.com/projects/dingo2protecetedvehi/ |website=Army Technology |publisher=Verdict Media |access-date=20 May 2021}} [Textron](/source/Textron) signed an exclusive deal to produce and market KMW's (since April 8, 2024 [KNDS Deutschland](/source/KNDS_Deutschland)) Dingo in the United States.{{cite web|url=http://www.bfbreakthroughdesign.com/textron/textronmarineland_products_land_dingo.htm|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200310044349/http://www.bfbreakthroughdesign.com/textron/textronmarineland_products_land_dingo.htm|archive-date = 2020-03-10|title = Textron}}{{cite web |url=http://www.textronsystems.com/pdf/products/dingo2_datasheet.pdf |title=Dingo 2 All-Protected Vehicle |website=www.textronsystems.com |access-date=11 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061124112307/http://www.textronsystems.com/pdf/products/dingo2_datasheet.pdf |archive-date=24 November 2006 |url-status=dead}} However, Textron chose its own more expensive and heavier [M1117 armored security vehicle](/source/M1117_armored_security_vehicle) for the [MRAP](/source/MRAP_(armored_vehicle)) competition, which did not receive a contract.{{Cite web |url=http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-6037098_ITM |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090207232154if_/http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-6037098_ITM |archive-date=7 February 2009 |title=Textron Signs Agreement To Produce KMW Dingo 2 Mine-Protected Vehicle.(Textron and Krauss-Maffei Wegmann)}} ==Design== The ATF Dingo has a modular design with five elements: chassis, protection cell, storage space, engine compartment, and bottom mine blast deflector. Its design is lighter and includes an armored chassis with a blast pan instead of the more common [monocoque](/source/monocoque) hull found in modern blast resistant vehicles. IBD's layered [MEXAS](/source/MEXAS) is used and the windows are angled to deflect blasts and bullets. A tarpaulin is used over the back storage area instead of metal to save weight. The Dingo's standard armament is a [Rheinmetall MG3](/source/Rheinmetall_MG3) 7.62 mm [machine gun](/source/machine_gun) in a remote-controlled turret on the top of the vehicle, borrowed from [KNDS Deutschland](/source/KNDS_Deutschland)'s [Fennek](/source/Fennek). The operator sits safely inside the cabin, controlling the weapon with an electro-optical sight with night vision capability. In 2008 the [Bundeswehr](/source/Bundeswehr) ordered several hundred fully remote-controlled weapons stations from KMW, for its Dingos and other armored vehicles: the light [FLW 100](/source/FLW_remote_weapon_station) (for the MG3 or the [Heckler & Koch MG4](/source/Heckler_%26_Koch_MG4)), and the heavy [FLW 200](/source/FLW_remote_weapon_station) (for the [M3M .50 BMG](/source/M2_Browning_machine_gun) or the [HK GMG](/source/HK_GMG) [automatic grenade launcher](/source/automatic_grenade_launcher)). The weapons station is controlled by an operator viewing a monitor inside the vehicle. The ''ATF Dingo 2'' is an advanced version of the Dingo, based on the upgraded [Unimog](/source/Unimog) U 5000 chassis.https://defensearchives.com/editorials/development-and-characteristics-of-the-dingo-1-and-2-mraps/ ==Operational use== In September 2022, Germany announced that it would provide 50 ATF Dingos to [Ukraine](/source/Ukraine) to use in the [2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine](/source/2022_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine).{{cite web |title=Germany delivers mixed news for Ukraine on vehicles |url=https://www.shephardmedia.com/news/landwarfareintl/germany-delivers-mixed-news-for-ukraine-on-vehicles/ |access-date=15 September 2022}} As of 3 September 2024, seven units were destroyed and one was damaged.{{cite web | url=https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2022/02/attack-on-europe-documenting-ukrainian.html | title=Attack on Europe: Documenting Ukrainian Equipment Losses During the Russian Invasion of Ukraine }} By 2023 the German military had around 700 Dingo 2s in service.https://defensearchives.com/editorials/development-and-characteristics-of-the-dingo-1-and-2-mraps/ ==Operators== thumb|300px|Map of ATF Dingo operators ===Current operators=== {| class="wikitable sortable" |- !
