Oshkosh/Ideal/Ceradyne "Bull" MRAP gets MRAP II nibble from Marines

OSHKOSH, Wis., Dec. 21 (UPI) -- The U.S. Marine Corps announced it has contracted Oshkosh Truck with Ideal Innovations and Ceradyne for Mine Resistant Ambush Protected II test vehicles.

Under the $18.1 million deal by the U.S. Marine Corps Joint MRAP program office, the three companies' joint project will be expected to deliver six of their MRAP vehicles in the beginning of 2008 for further government testing of their explosively formed penetrator resistant capabilities.

That's way better than rejection if you're part of that cooperative effort.

I wonder if the six vehicles delivered for additional testing will need to have side doors as stipulated in the MRAP II solicitation?
