According to an article published on the website of Europäische Sicherheit und Technik, the German Army is cooperating with the Australian military on the development of the Heavy Weapons Carrier Infantry (formerly MaKaBo) variant of the Boxer in order to save money and time spent on development - this suggests that it will be based on Australian experiences with the Boxer CRV evaluation for the LAND 400 phase 2 program. Series production is planned for 2024.
There are no plans for dismounts, but MELLS (Spike-LR) will be integrated as additional armament to the required 30 x 173 mm gun. Additionally a RWS will be fitted to the vehicle, which is controlled by the commander.
The JFST (heavy) variant for the German Army is planned to enter service by 2023. An improved command vehicle variant integrated into the DLB-O/MoToKa project is currently being projected.
Current development/improvment programs of the German Army's Boxer focus on improved optics, other sensors and auxiliary power systems. Digital/software-defined radios, a new BMS and integration of the Wirkmittel 90 (might just be better storage racks, but maybe they'll add the option to fit the Wirkmittel 90 to the RWS) are also topics. Evaluation of possible options to increase protection against handheld anti-tank weapons and ATGMs are also ongoing.
Talks have been started to potentially develop a mortar variant of the Boxer in cooperation with the UK.
