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.
