Don,
I hope these help:
Czech articles on the deal from last year.
http://zpravy.idnes.cz/secret-pandur...541_domaci_abr
Czech government apparently paid more than double (For 107 PANDUR II) then Portugal paid for their 270 like equipped PANDUR II. Also shows the RAFAEL RCWS-30 system.

Announces the joint Czech and Austrian investigation into the deal.

OCT. 2009 they report Czechs get first 17 units.

On the RCWS-30 system.

Did a search for STEYR-DAIMLER-PUCH which was broken up in the 90's. General Dynamics owns the STEYR group that makes the PANDUR. All they had on the site was a couple press releases concerning they got the contract dated on JAN. 2006.

Regards,
Pat
