The Bundeswehr and the Dutch are planning to buy "Fennek" recce
vehicles:

Pretty neat, too, but not much of a fighting vehicle. Sensor suite
includes various cameras/imagers, deployable ground vibration sensors,
a small UAV with 10 Km range, and the vehicle can be remote
controlled.

Now, if they get all that to work...
