About 12 companies have made presentations to the Malaysian Defense Ministry for the replacement of 24 Condors for the Malbatt (Malaysian Battalion) mission in Lebanon and about 20-30 Anoas for the Army Ready Battalion which is kept ready for emergency UN peace keeping missions. It has not been decided whether the new vehicle will be a 4×4 or 6×6.
Some of these competing vehicles have been tested following their participation to DSA 2018 and some are brand new offerings, Malaysian Defence reports. The new vehicles should have been tested locally before or after DSA 2020 but the event was cancelled due to the coronavirus. The vehicle for Malbatt will be equipped with a RWS as it is one of the specifications listed by the Army.
