Bronco ATTC Logistics Carrier

Notes: This vehicle is a multipurpose tracked carrier that can fulfill a variety of roles; general logistics carrier, troop carrier, and ambulance variants exist (and some others). It is similar in appearance to the Swedish Bvs-10; however, it is not armored in its normal versions, but it does have an articulated trailer like the Bvs-10, and is optimized for difficult ground and terrain conditions. The Bronco features wide tracks of seamless rubber, for quietness, ease of manufacture, and to lighten the vehicle. The Bronco is capable of traversing deep mud, snow, swamps, and other such terrain, as well as ford up to 1.2 meters of water without preparation. With preparation, the Bronco is amphibious.

The troop carrier has an enclosed rear trailer with a large window running across the top of each side of the trailer, plus one in the rear. There is a hatch in the rear and one on the roof, and the sides have three firing ports along with two in the rear. The front part of the vehicle contains the engine and drive components along with some more room for passengers, four doors in the sides, and a hatch on the roof with a weapons mount able to handle any weapon up to those normally mounted on an NHT or equivalent. Six are carried in the front portion; another ten are carried in the rear module.

The logistics carrier (also known as the resupply vehicle) uses a flatbed rear trailer with a materiel handling crane capable of lifting up to 3 tons to a height of 1.8 meters. The flatbed tips to the rear, and has a winch and roller system to allow large or bulky cargoes to be winched aboard the trailer. Despite being a flatbed, it has the same mobility as other variants of the Bronco, including being amphibious with preparation.

The ambulance is a variant of the troop carrier; it has a complete suite of medical equipment including respirators, a defibrillator, a refrigerator and freezer for perishable supplies, the equivalent of 10 doctor’s bags, 40 personal medical kit reloads, and other such supplies. The weapon mount on the front part of the vehicle is retained, but there are no firing ports in the rear of the vehicle.

Twilight 2000 Notes: The Bronco does not exist in the Twilight 2000 timeline.

SAE Upgraded LARC-V

Notes: Singapore is one of the last major users of the US-designed LARC-5 amphibious cargo carrier; however, most of their stock LARC-5s have been turned over to civil defense organizations and firefighting units. Most military LARC-5s have been upgraded to the LARC-V standard. Changes include the replacement of the gasoline engines once fitted to Singaporean LARC-5s by Cummins diesel engines. Other changes include a light crane in front of the cargo compartment with a capacity of 2.5 tons and a reach of 4.51 meters, and an improvement in buoyancy by lowering the weight of the vehicle and by adding more buoyant materials to the construction of the vehicle. The LARC-V is otherwise similar to the LARC-5 listed in US Medium Unarmored Vehicles.
