379 KIRPI IIs with integrated BTS-2 were delivered to the Land Forces
Deliveries of the Troop Tracking System (BTS-2) integrated on the Kirpi II TTZA, produced as part of the Tactical Wheeled Vehicles-2 (TTA-2) Project by the BMC company in the inventory of the Land Forces Command, continue. 379 BTS-2s were integrated into TTA-2 vehicles in the inventory of the Land Forces Command. In addition, supply contracts were signed for 114 BTS-2s.
If the additional 114 BTS-2 system is for vehicles to be supplied by the Land Forces Command within the scope of the TTA-2 project, the Land Forces Command will have supplied 493 Kirpi II TTZAs within the scope of the TTA-2 project. Planned was 329 Hedgehog II TTZAs.
The Troop Tracking System (BTS-2) is a friendly unit tracking system that periodically transfers the location information of the vehicles to which it is integrated, to the operation center over the communication infrastructures of the vehicle.
Tactical Wheeled Vehicles-2 (TTA-2) Project: 379+ BMC Hedgehogs II with Inside-Commanded Weapon System feature to effectively combat terrorism, transport personnel safely and quickly, provide effective and continuous combat and combat service support to maneuvering elements. Delivery of has been completed. (It was planned to supply 329 vehicles for K.K.K. and 200 vehicles for J.Gn.K.)
