The Blackwater-Raytheon JLTV

The JLTV version of Blackwater's "Grizzly" has a more roadworthy (and offroadworthy) appearance than its MRAP predecessor. Though this partnership has to be a longshot to make the next round of the competition, the vehicle looks like a quite credible entrant based simply on its appearance. And that observation, of course, is somewhat obvious given the expense of developing a competitive prototype.

I'd like to see a Consumer Reports style rundown of the competition, but I suppose there are too many secrets at stake for anything like that to get to print out in public.

I note that my first experiment in satisfactorily updating the Clipworks presentation is an aesthetic failure.
