The RAK is a 120mm wheeled self-propelled mortar carrier vehicle based on the 8x8 Rosomak armoured vehicle personnel carrier chassis. The RAK is designed and manufactured by the Polish Defense Company HSW (Huta Stalowa Wola). The RAK 120mm self-propelled mortar carrier is operated by a crew of three and can be ready to fire from a running position in less than 30 seconds, and leave the firing position under 15 seconds. The 120mm mortar system has a rate of fire from 6 to 8 rounds per minute. A first prototype of the vehicle was presented at MSPO Defense Exhibition 2015, and the final production of the RAK was unveiled in September 2015. In April 2016, it was announced the signature of a contract for the delivery of 64 RAK M120K vehicles to the Polish Armed Forces. In total the order includes 64 Rak M120K mortar vehicles and 32 AWD command post vehicles using the same 8x8 Rosomak chassis. A five-year framework agreement was finalized with Huta Stalowa Wola (HSW) at the end of April 2016 with a first delivery for the same year. Polish Land Forces expected to receive a further two company sets a year until the eight are delivered in 2020. Each artillery company will be equipped with four RAK 120mm and an AWD command post , plus an extra two AWD vehicles for the company commander and deputy commander.
