VBCL

Notes: This is a Belgian modification of the M-108 self-propelled howitzer, for use as a command post. In this role, the turret is replaced with a fixed superstructure to allow standing inside the vehicle. At least three radios, a teletype, scrambling and encrypting modules, a computer with wireless modem and LAN, a GPS receiver, and a 10 kW generator are installed. There is a hatch on the front left deck ahead of the superstructure for the driver, one on the front superstructure deck for the commander, and two large doors on the hull rear for entry. There are several stowage boxes and lockers on the superstructure roof for crew gear. This vehicle is valued for its roominess.
