The Rosenbauer Group is one of the world’s three largest manufacturers of fire-service vehicles and firefighting equipment, based in Leonding, Austria.
Rosenbauer supplies the fire fighting sector in over 100 countries with a wide range of custom fire and rescue apparatus and services. It produces its extensive series of fire fighting vehicles and aerials in three continents, to both European and US standards.
The water cannon 10000 (WaWe 10 for short) is a type of water cannon used by the German police . The series is the successor to the 9000 water cannon . A prototype was handed over to the Federal Police in November 2008, and the first five series vehicles were delivered by 2011. The manufacturer is the Austrian company Rosenbauer . The primary area of application of the water cannon is the use of direct physical coercion against people in the context of police security , especially during demonstrations and other large events.
The water cannon 10000 is mounted on the Mercedes-Benz Actros - all-wheel drive chassis. It is 3.7 m high, 9.9 m long and 2.55 m wide. The drive has an output of 300 kW (approx. 408 hp ). The permissible total weight is 31 t. In the design of the vehicle, the protruding front with its sloping windshield catches the eye. Smooth outer walls should prevent the WaWe 10 from climbing and the sloping roof shape should not provide a hold for Molotov cocktails . The cabin consists of aluminum sheeting on an aluminum frame. The protective glazing of the cabin is made of polycarbonate . In addition, one has air conditioning installed. The crew consists of up to five people: a commander, a driver, an observer and two operators for the water monitors.
The WaWe 10 is equipped with a heatable 2,500 gallon water tank and has three launch tubes, two at the front with a throughput of up to 400 gallons / min and a throw of 200 feet / 65 meters. The pumping system for the throwers is driven by its own motor (Deutz TCD 2012L06), so that, as with the previous model, water can be fired regardless of the driving situation.
In contrast to the previous models, in addition to regulating the water pressure, it is also possible to change the spray pattern, which enables better water dosing during use, e.g. B. extinguishing burning barricades. Another innovation are surveillance cameras that record the surroundings of the vehicle, as well as a microphone system on the vehicle, with which the loudspeaker announcements can be checked for intelligibility and also logged.
