According to Chen Chuanren on Shephard, the Singapore Army is expected to receive new self-propelled artillery and tracked carriers from 2024 as part of its platform renewal process. This is the first time a delivery timeline has been revealed for these two new platforms. Details of the Next-Generation Howitzer (NGH) are not yet disclosed, although Singapore’s Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) says it will replace the SSPH-1 Primus and FH2000 towed gun.
With a proven and battle-tested platform from over 50 years of deep engineering experience, the Bronco All Terrain Tracked Carrier is a fully amphibious all-terrain armoured vehicle with exceptional on and off-road mobility designed to conquer 82% of the world’s terrain in adverse environments. The Bronco has been in service since 2001. The Warthog, which was customised for the British Army, was deployed in Afghanistan for four years, clocking more than 300,000 miles, encountered 30 IED attacks with zero fatalities. With over 40 variants, the Bronco can be configured to support a wide variety of mission sets for modern armed forces, from combat support to combat service support missions.
