As
every year the MSPO is a significant event for the Polish
companies which wish to present their last technological
innovations of armament and armored vehicles. The Polish
Company HSW presents for the first
time to the public, three new vehicles: A tracked command
post armored vehicle, a new version of mine launching system
mounted to a truck and a tracked vehicle self-propelled
mortar carrier. The command vehicle made following a request
of the Polish army for a command post tracked armoured vehicle
for the artillery troops, which could be used on the level
of the command of an artillery battalion, up to the level
of command of artillery battery. This new vehicle is based
on the chassis of the Russian MT-LB tracked armored vehicle,
but with a new group of propulsion and an upgraded troop’s
compartment. The design of the vehicle is based on an association
of Polish company HSW for the troop’s compartment,
and the German company FFG for the motorization of the vehicle.
This vehicle could be used within the framework of the new
concept of artillery battalion REGINA, which is composed
at the basic level with new self-propelled howitzer tracked
armored vehicle 155 mm KRAB, recently adopted by the Polish
army. |
