Caiman lite (CLT) to compete with Navistar Dash

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BAE Systems has unveiled its new Caiman Light vehicle at the 2008 Association of the United States Army Annual Meeting & Exposition in Washington, D.C. The Caiman Light or CLT is a five-man, 4X 4 version of the 6X6 Caiman Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle.

Caiman Light is a member of the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV). The Caiman Light offers protection comparable to the 18 ton Caiman at two-thirds the weight. Caiman Light comes standard with electronic stability controls and can be built with rear steering, which gives it a less-than 20-foot turning radius.

No luck finding pics so far.

The electronic stability controls, one might suppose, help address past problems with rollover for BAE MRAPs.
