The Bronco All Terrain Tracked Carrier (ATTC) is a twin chassis multi-purpose articulated tracked carrier jointly developed by ST Kinetics and the Defence Science & Technology Agency (DSTA) for the Singapore Army. The variant which was in service with the UK armed forces is known as the Warthog.
The Bronco has been fully operational with the Singapore Armed Forces for several years, with more than 600 on order and production still underway.
In December 2008, ST Kinetics was awarded a £150 million contract by the British Ministry of Defence for over 100 Bronco All Terrain Tracked Carriers for use in Afghanistan. The vehicles, dubbed the Warthog in British service, replaced Vikings previously operating in southern Afghanistan by the British military, and was procured as part of a £700 million package of Urgent Operational Requirements (UORs) announced by Defence Secretary John Hutton. Deliveries began in the third quarter of 2009 and finished in 2010.
