ST Kinetics Bronco

London -- ST Kinetics is displaying the successful Bronco All Terrain Tracked Carrier (ATTC), on which the WARTHOG all terrain vehicle is based, at Defence Systems & Equipment International (DSEi) 2009, London, UK.

Two Bronco ATTCs - a troop carrier and a logistics version - will be on show at ST Kinetics' stand 1357. The troop carrier is fitted with the Platt Protected Weapons Station and bar armour. The logistics variant features a Demountable Rack Offload and Pickup System (DROPS) style off-loadable rack on the rear.

In December 2008, more than 100 Bronco vehicles, designated WARTHOG by the UK MOD, were bought from ST Kinetics in a deal worth over £150M. The first vehicle will be with the UK MOD from the end of 2009. Dubbed "The Beast", it will provide enhanced performance and protection for troops in Afghanistan.

Also showcased at DSEi is the ST Kinetics' TOTAL 40MM SOLUTIONS, comprising grenade launchers and a family of high and low velocity 40mm ammunition and payload systems. Such solutions range from 40mm High Explosive, Flash & Bang and training rounds as supplied to the UK MOD, to the Soldier Parachute Airborne Reconnaissance Camera System (SPARCS), air bursting, self-destruct, enhanced blast and insensitive munitions rounds.

SEW Chee Jhuen, President, ST Kinetics, said: "At DSEi 2009, ST Kinetics is particularly proud to showcase the Bronco, an all terrain vehicle whose WARTHOG variant will soon be fielded by the UK MOD for operations in Afghanistan. With class-leading payload, capacity and protection, the proven and cost effective platform will greatly enhance operational effectiveness."
