Whoever has a hybrid MRAP on the production floor now gets a partnership offer.

Hmm! how can an old list for replacement humvees come up in a new contract request.

Military seeks new MRAPs for Afghanistan

Pentagon launches new competition for MRAP-All Terrain Vehicles for use in Afghanistan . Nothing to do with HumVees

Knowing the contracting process I'm shure they knew. But also knowing how the Military want product fast they go to the mass producers first

Take eyes off the charts for one minute and relax.. Guess what!!! Military looking for new Hybrid MRAPs in the thousands. Force not even mentioned as a possible supplier, As usual they want their big boys in line first like BAE, GD etc.
Quantity fast, minus quality and performance. Again the big boys will get the meat of the orders for their version. Even if it is junk and the unit cost is way under actual cost..

243 Shore Dr. East ,Miami Florida

Google Earth it!!! It's a house and a pretty nice one in a great location...

It could soon pass GM on the board. Wonder if those holders would like to switch positions??

DOD to double potential buy of lighter MRAPS. Designated M-ATV, The proposal will award five IDIQ contracts for delivery of vehicles early next year for testing.

That's the TSV. But if and even if it is successful. The Army will find away to drag their boots to let the Big Boys have time to develop their version.

I'm somewhat confident they did this with the Cougar. And previous to that the buffalo. When Force Protection built the first 13 buffaloes they were painted white. Likely destined for the UN. They never knew anything about the Cougar. The US Marines got the first contract. Then shoved it up the Army's butt

TSV in Forces future? A flat Bed Tactical Support Vehicle may be coming soon out of Ladson.

Maybe they should sell them for 100 bucks each. Then the power company would cut off their power to the production plant

I didn't read much concerning the distribution infrastructure. It's in sad shape too and barely able to supply the full demand of present day energy needs.
Many of the power corridors transmitting power to major centers were constructed in the 60s and primarily are aluminium cable susceptible to corrosion and frequent failure. Not much has been done to improve or find new improved methods of distributing the good old Kw to the end of the line so it's still a Kw. The losses are big, cables and towers need replacing.
If I were a public utility looking at HydroStax I'd be looking at it as a deadly advocate not a friend of the power industry.

UK Ministry Of defense to soon sign contracts in the next few weeks for about 400 Heavily Armored vehicles.
One version called Wolfhound is likely a cut down version of Forces Cougar patrol vehicle UK version Mastiff.
Quantities are unknown as their will be also a medium weight husky from NAVISTAR and a lightweight Coyote.
So their is some good news coming our way

Cramer never loses his shirt just the Tie around his neck. And if their is a buyout down the road he's in on it..

I see only onezies and twoozies being sold. This is not a mass produced product. And I'll estimate each unit at least around 10k.JMO

Where will they serve the time! Caymen Islands?

Well I remember their last national campaign for Cinnergen that one went south even with WalMart in the loop...

Now that the patents are in place. Has anyone read any news about the 500 unit HydroStax order.
Has it been booked or partially booked
Has production started?
Has production been delayed or re-planned?
Has anything been delayed!

DOD announced JLTV participants. But! in 2009 it's open season.
Read last paragraph..

No worry their next "national advertising campaign" has done wonders for the price to date. Now was it the product price or the share price?

Letters banks with powder on the rise....

New suspension under the Cheetah for rough terrain.. Cold be good news soon for the LMRAP for Afghanistan.

from here it's a coin toos maybe up maybe down

An award wellmearned but hides the real truth about this company. When they were in the shipyard building the first 12 buffaloes The Army thought they were only found on the plains and in parks.
