The GFF4 (Geschützte Führungs- und Funktionsfahrzeuge, Klasse 4: Protected Command and Functional Vehicles, Class 4), previously KMW Grizzly, is a medium weight MRAP armored personnel carrier, developed by Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW), designed for operation with the German Army based on the 6x6 Trakker chassis from Iveco adapted to meet the needs of the German Army.[1] It is being developed under the direction of the German Ministry of Defence Federal Office of Defense Technology and Procurement (Bundesamt für Wehrtechnik und Beschaffung).[2] The first vehicle will be delivered as early as November 2007.

The GFF4 is designed to meet the German Army's "Class 4" protected command and role-specific vehicles, with a gross vehicle weight of 25 tons, and transportable on the Airbus A400M aircraft. Currently, the German Army could use only the smaller 12.5 ton ATF Dingo 2 or the 33 ton Boxer MRAV.

Grizzly can carry 10 fully equipped troops, which exceeds by greater than 50% the 3 tons required by the German request for proposal (RFP). The vehicle is protected in all directions. The driver's station and crew compartment form an integral safety cell providing protection against improvised explosive devices (IEDs), projectiles, missiles and mines. The cell's frame also forms a rollcage. The engine compartment and transmission are armored to reduce the chance of a 'mobility kill' under attack.

KMW is offering the vehicle in several configurations, and since the design is based on a modular concept, a smaller 4x4 or larger 8x8 variant, with corresponding payloads are possible.[2]

Der GFF 4 oder MPV (Medium Protected Vehicle), vormals Grizzly, ist ein gepanzertes Radfahrzeug der Rüstungsunternehmen Krauss-Maffei Wegmann und Iveco Defense Vehicles. Er ist Teil des Beschaffungsvorhabens der Bundeswehr für Geschützte Führungs- und Funktionsfahrzeuge (GFF) in der sogenannten Klasse 4 (hochgeschützte Fahrzeuge), dort soll es die Lücke zwischen dem ATF Dingo und dem GTK Boxer schließen. Ein erstes Fahrzeug wurde im November 2007 zur Erprobung an das Bundesamt für Wehrtechnik und Beschaffung, inzwischen Bundesamt für Ausrüstung, Informationstechnik und Nutzung der Bundeswehr, ausgeliefert. Konkurrent ist Rheinmetall Landsysteme mit dem Wisent.
