HISTORY
The Norwegian company Kongsberg Defense & Aerospace is one of three companies under the Kongsberg group and is a continuation of Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk. Kongsberg makes products for both defense and aerospace, and has over a number of years developed a number of very successful products such as the Naval Strike Missiles, Penguin asw to mention a few and the market leading protector series, featuring multiple families of remote controlled weaponstations and turrets , which countries all over the world have already started integrating on their vehicles and vessels even.

As a result of constant development and new ideas and to get new customers, they regularly have demonstrations where they show potential. This wagon is one of many different! It features a Patria AMW witch is built in Finland, Kongsberg Defense & Aerospace is a co-owner of the Finnish patria with 49.9%. This vehicle has a couple years ago had a Kongsberg Remote turret 20 mounted by Kongsberg to be used in demonstrations/live fire demonstrations.

The Remote Turret 20 is the lightest and probably cheapest turret of the Kongsberg Remote Turret series witch consists of three variants RT20, RT40 and RT60 witch each has their options for equipment. This is armed with the XM813 Bushmaster chain gun as one are informed, with a coaxial machinegun wich is supposed to be the 7.62x51mm FN MAG and are mounted at the right side of the gun mantlet and has 200 ready rounds, these can be reloaded from inside the vehicle.

Now for the hull, the hull is as mentioned a Patria AMW. the AMW stands for Armored Modular Vehicle and is an multi role vehicle with 8x8. It is designed and produced by Finland and its Patria company. Development for a new modular vehicle started back in 1995, and trough the years many different vehicles were made, but around 2004 this variant of the patria was introduced and produced.

IN GAME
In game this would be a unique addition under either the Swedish techtree in a Norwegian subtree or premium, or in a combined Norwegian and Danish techtree. Its light and fast with great ammunition, and can fight both ground vehicles and air vehicles.
