Development
The prototype was constructed in 1998 at the Military Communication Works No. 2 in Czernica in cooperation with the Communications Board of the Border Guard and the Military University of Technology.[1] The vehicle bodywork was also carried out there. By 2000, about 30 of them had been built.[1]
The ZWD-3 command vehicles were produced in two versions with different equipment:
- Automated Command Vehicle in the assembly version 1 ZWD-3 SO-1-1 – a total of 39 units were introduced into service.
- Automated Command Vehicle in the assembly version 2 ZWD-3 SO-1-1 – a total of 2 units were introduced into service.
The vehicle is intended for commanders and chiefs of staff of light unit battalions (e.g. mountain and airmobile).[1] The basic means of communication installed in the vehicles are two VHF RRC-9500 radio stations from the PR4G family with a power of 50 W.[1] They have two workstations.[1] The vehicles do not have a power generator, and all equipment is operated from the car's batteries.[1] If necessary, they are recharged by an independent generator powered by the vehicle's engine. ZWD-3 vehicles are adapted to cooperate with Łowcza and Topaz vehicles.
