Chicago Business video, focus on Navistar (Updated)

Chicago Business published a story about Navistar's move into military vehicles.

An accompanying video plays up the bolt-on armor that allows rapid production of the MaxxPro.

Also of note was the visual of the Navistar/BAE Systems JLTV prototype (see update below), which I took the liberty of capturing.

Navistar FTTS

Update:
Dino246 commented that the capture I identified as the Navistar/BAE Systems JLTV prototype is actually the FTTS collaboration between Navistar and Plasan Sasa. I'll complain that the video was misleading in that the JLTV partnership was described while showing the FTTS vehicle; bottom line, Dino246 is correct as I was able to verify with a visit to the Navistar homepage.
Here's a .pdf file from Navistar describing the FTTS.

For that matter, don't miss the slick video production (the video occurs as a java popup, so I can't link it directly--look for it at the upper right of the Navistar page) Navistar put together featuring its entire line of military vehicles. Stick it out to the end and you'll see the FTTS vehicle pictured above performing some jaw-dropping maneuvers with its four-wheel steering.
