- The paper presents a proposal to transformation, in the direction of modernization and modification or conversion, decommissioned weapons to be reused in different versions of engineering vehicles. The process is illustrated with the example of the T-72 tank. The solutions presented in this paper describe the possibilities of constructing new tracked vehicles of various use at relatively low cost. Reusing of the vehicle can be also the most economical way to extend the product lifecycle of special purpose. Conversion of armoured equipment into products for other purposes may constitute a new stage in the product lifecycle that precedes the disposal phase. Initial conceptual work carried out at OBRUM Ltd. confirms the feasibility of a quick conversion of the T-72 tank into engineering vehicles in few versions, recovery vehicle with extended basic equipment with a view for further development. The proposed methodology may be used as a commercial offer of the Ośrodek Badawczo Rozwojowy Urządzeń Mechanicznych “OBRUM” sp. z o.o. (Research and Development Centre Mechanical Equipment “OBRUM” Ltd.) and Polka Grupa Zbrojeniowa (Polish Armaments Group) (PGZ) (in the form of know-how (upgrade packages) or deliveries of complete vehicles different designation particularly to countries that have T-72 tanks in service.
