The XC-360 transporter was developed as a successor to the Sisu XA-180 transporter, which had been in production since the early 1980s, and its subsequent versions. The first tactical and technical requirements for the new transporter were formulated in the mid-1990s, with the final version approved in 1999. A distinguishing feature of the vehicle was its modular construction and the reduction of physical signatures by limiting heat and noise emissions and specially shaping the hull to reduce radar reflection . Computer-aided design (CAD) techniques were extensively used in its development. The first mock-up of the vehicle (equipped with a twin-barrel AMOS 120mm mortar turret) was created in 2000 and showcased at the Eurosatory exhibition in Paris that same year. The first Prototype was completed in November 2001, initially intended only for traction tests, but these plans were changed. At the same time, the Ministry of National Defence (Poland) announced a tender for wheeled armored personnel carriers for the Polish Army .^[source]KTO Rosomak · History; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

On 20 May 2002, the transporter arrived in Poland to be equipped with an American Delco turret (its main armament being the 25mm M242 Bushmaster automatic cannon).^[source]KTO Rosomak · History; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

The vehicle in the Polish configuration, designated XC-360P, did not yet exist at the time of the contract signing. The most significant changes to the Polish version of the transporter included reducing the vehicle's weight from 26 tons (in the Finnish configuration) to approximately 21 tons to enable transport by C-130 Hercules aircraft and ensure amphibious capability. Other changes included reducing the vehicle's width (the external armor of the Polish configuration features a characteristic bend not present on Finnish vehicles) and equipping the vehicle with double doors instead of a hydraulically lowered ramp .^[source]KTO Rosomak · History; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

The AMV transporter features a frame construction with a longitudinal steel beam. The suspension and drive system are mounted on this structure, providing greater rigidity and easier maintenance of certain components. The vehicle is powered by a 6-cylinder, inline, turbocharged diesel engine, the Scania DI 12 56A03PE, with a maximum power output of 360 kW (490 HP) at 2100 rpm and a continuous power output of 294 kW (400 HP). The 11.7-liter engine is liquid-cooled and works with a ZF 7HP 902S Ecomat automatic transmission with 7 forward gears and 1 reverse gear, allowing a maximum speed of over 100 km/h. Water propulsion is provided by two propellers, enabling a speed of 10 km/h. The exhaust system is equipped with an exhaust gas cooling system. The fuel capacity is 325 liters.^[source]KTO Rosomak · Construction; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

The vehicle has eight wheels with 14.00R20 tires, equipped with a central tire pressure regulation system. All wheels have independent suspension based on arms mounted to the support beam, and are cushioned by a hydropneumatic actuator system that allows ground clearance adjustment from +200mm to -250mm. The suspension travel is 450mm. The vehicle's turning radius is 12 meters. Terrain obstacle capabilities include: climbing slopes up to 60%; maximum side tilt up to 35 degrees; overcoming vertical walls of 0.5m; fording depths of 1.5m; and crossing trenches of 2.1m.^[source]KTO Rosomak · Construction; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

Designed by the Italian company Oto Melara , the Hitfist -30P turret is a two-man turret armed with a 30mm ATK Mk 44 Bushmaster II automatic cannon (equipped with a dual-feed ammunition system) and a 7.62mm UKM-2000C machine gun. The design is an evolution of the Hitfist-25 turret used on the Italian Dardo IFV. However, the turret was significantly modified to meet Polish requirements. The most significant change is the substantial reduction in height to lower the vehicle's profile, making it possible to transport it in a C-130 Hercules aircraft. Interestingly, a turret design very similar to the Polish one was used on the Italian Centauro VBM Freccia .^[source]KTO Rosomak · Hitfist-30P Turret; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

The turret is made of armored aluminum and equipped with additional ceramic armor. The armament is controlled by a fire control system featuring a Kolsman DNRS-288 day-night sight, a Galileo Avionica (now parto of Leonardo _ TILDE FC second-generation thermal camera, and a laser rangefinder. Additional equipment includes the SSP-1 Obra-3 sensor system and a smoke grenade launcher (which holds six 81mm grenades).^[source]KTO Rosomak · Hitfist-30P Turret; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

The gunner sits on the right side of the vehicle and has access to the fire control system console with controllers and a ten-inch screen, a backup (optical) sight, and cranks for rotating the turret in case of electrical system failure (the right crank controls azimuth, while the left crank controls elevation). There is also a single forward-facing periscope. In front of the gunner is the shell ejection system for the main armament and the machine gun, which the gunner operates (reloading and clearing jams).^[source]KTO Rosomak · Hitfist-30P Turret; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

The turret's empty weight is 2350 kg, and its combat weight is 2850 kg. Its height (with retracted periscopes) is 595 mm. The turret can rotate 360 degrees, and the elevation angles of the armament range from -10 to +60 degrees. The ready-to-use 30mm ammunition supply is 220 rounds, with an additional 250 rounds stored in two magazines under the turret.^[source]KTO Rosomak · Hitfist-30P Turret; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage
