Another BAE "Panther"?

BAE Systems and PM Assured Mobility Systems will roll out the Panther family of vehicles at Building 52 near Letterkenny Army Depot north of Chambersburg.

BAE is producing the Panther for the U.S. Army. The six-wheel-drive vehicle has a V-shaped hull designed to protect occupants from unconventional explosives. The vehicle will be used by forward engineers, explosive ordnance disposal units and military intelligence units.

The Brits have an Italian armored vehicle that appears in the guise of a BAE product on the company Web site.

It seems doubtful that the U.S. Army is getting the same thing as the Brits.

A new name for the BAE M-ATV, that nearly doubles as the BAE/Navistar Valanx, perhaps?

Let's see some pics!
