Protected Vehicles Inc. keeps plugging

The U.S. manufacturing partner for the Golan MRAP, Protected Vehicles Inc., had gone for so long with no media buzz that I stopped checking on them for a time. PVI had filed for bankruptcy protection nearly a year ago and was purchased in August by Patriarch Partners LLC. PVI announced plans to continue production of its Protector and Beast vehicles. The company has also produced a vehicle it calls the Argus, which looks a bit like a cross between a Golan and a Force Protection Cougar.

If the Argus is not intended to aim for the M-ATV niche, at least broadly, then I'm not sure that the company's product has a market.
