Nahkampfkanone 2 is a country-road vehicle, similar to the German tank destroyer from the World War II. The hull and the superstructure were made of cast steel by the Georg Fischer AG. The construction of the chassis was by Saurer in Arbon, the assembly of the chassis at Berna in Olten and the design and installation of the gun of the K + W in Thun. Driver, commander and the horizontal gunner sat side left, right vertical gunner and loader. The gun was mounted in a hull based superstructure and had only a limited traverse arc, so the entire vehicle had to turned onto the target before the gun itself could be aimed. The gun barrel could be retracted for travel.
