摘要

A demonstrator for a fire-support variant (Woz Wsparcia Ogniowego - WWO) of the Anders Multirole Combat Platform (Wielozadaniowa Platforma Bojowa [WPB]) was unveiled during the MSPO 2010 exhibition at Kielce in September by the research and development company OBRUM, Gliwice, part of Poland's Bumar Group.rnOBRUM has been responsible for developing chassis for the majority of Polish-designed armoured vehicles, including those used for the N-21 radar vehicle, the 155 mm tracked howitzer Krab, as well as the developmental BWP-2000 or UPG-NG platform. The company built the WWO demonstrator in partnership with the WAT military academy of technology, Warsaw, and WZM (Wojskowe Zaklady Me-chaniczne), Siemianowice Slaskie, aided by a PLN17 million (USD6 million) grant awarded in 2007 by the Polish Science and Higher Education Ministry.
