Which company developed the Swiss whirlwind infantry fighting vehicle?

This car was developed by Mowag Co., Ltd., and the first prototype was completed in the spring of 1980. In addition to single or double weapon platforms, it can also be converted into a series of variant cars.

The car body adopts fully welded steel armor structure to prevent bullets and shell fragments. In order to enhance the protection ability of large caliber weapons, the front of the vehicle has notched armor.

The driver is located on the left side of the front of the car body, with three periscopes, and the middle 1 can be replaced by a passive nocturnal instrument. The conductor is behind the driver. There are five periscopes, three in front and two on the left.

If a double turret is installed, the captain's position is in the turret rather than behind the pilot. GBD- Bob Twin Towers or GBD-COA Single Towers can be installed on the top of the car body, in which 25mm machine guns and 7.62mm 1 parallel machine guns are installed.

There are 1 remote control machine gun brackets designed by Mowag on both sides of the top of the passenger compartment, using 7.62mm machine guns. It can rotate 230, and the pitch range is-15 ~+60. Each bracket has a 1 periscope and two observation mirrors aimed at machine guns.

The power cabin is close to the driver's right, and is separated from the rest of the vehicle by a three-proof partition. There is an automatic fire extinguishing device in the engine room, but it can also be operated manually. The intake and exhaust louvers are on the top of the car body, and the exhaust pipe is on the right side of the car body. The engine, transmission device and air intake and exhaust system are integrated and supported by rubber gasket, which is convenient to be hoisted out of the car quickly when it is replaced or repaired on site.

Matching the engine is a 1 4 speed gearbox with hydraulic torque converter and electro-hydraulic control. The box has a forward and backward mechanism, so the speed range of reverse gear is also very large; The hydraulic torque converter is equipped with automatic locking clutch and deceleration device, which is integrated with the gearbox, which is beneficial to the braking of the vehicle when driving downhill for a long time.

Hydraulic steering device is convenient for vehicle stepless steering and fixed steering radius steering, and can also be used for in-situ steering. The action part is suspended by torsion bar, with 6 load wheels and 3 idler wheels on each side. There are hydraulic shock absorbers on the first, second and sixth load wheels. The track has rubber pads that can be quickly replaced. When driving on the ice, you can also add anti-slip teeth.

The passenger compartment can accommodate 6 soldiers, 3 on each side, facing outward, and can enter and exit through the power-operated springboard door at the back of the vehicle, and can also be manually opened in case of emergency. In addition, there are entrances and exits at the bottom of the passenger compartment, which is convenient for people in the car to escape from the car in an emergency. There are two perforations on both sides of the passenger compartment, which enable infantry to shoot from inside the vehicle.

The car can wade without preparation1.3m. There is a standard overpressure ventilation system in the car. When used for ventilation, the air volume is 4m3/min; . When used for three defenses, it is 3m3/min.

Variants of this vehicle include ambulances, anti-tank missile launchers, fire support vehicles, maintenance and rescue vehicles, self-propelled mortars, multi-barrel rockets and reconnaissance vehicles.
