Army Wants Lots of Lightweight MRAPs
By Greg Grant Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

The Army has requested bids from industry for up to 10,000 lightweight versions of its Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle, dubbed MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV). It’s supposed to be a lighter, off-road capable and more maneuverable vehicle than the monstrous MRAPs the Army bought to shuttle soldiers around Iraq. The Army has already bought some 12,000 of the larger MRAP.

LADSON, S.C. -- January 15, 2009
Force Protection, Inc. (NASDAQ: FRPT) and General Dynamics Land Systems
Inc., a business unit of General Dynamics Corporation (NYSE: GD) – through
their joint venture Force Dynamics, LLC – today announced that they have
submitted the Cheetah, a lightweight armored tactical vehicle developed by
Force Protection that meets or exceeds TACOM’s threshold requirements for
crew protection, mobility and weight in response to the U.S. Army's MRAP
All Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) solicitation.


and quoting moody-
"We believe that the Cheetah is the ideal vehicle to handle the rough terrain in Afghanistan, while continuing to provide the same high level of survivability that our Cougar vehicle offers today at nearly half of the weight," said Michael Moody, chief executive officer.
