Just in time to pre-empt the M-ATV contract announcement ...

(Marine Corps Commandant James T.) Conway said that instead of pursuing a new line of vehicles, he asked engineers to look at modifying a current version of the MRAP with an independent wheel suspension. A prototype has been tested with good results, he said.

No need for the M-ATV after all?

I'll keep looking for the contract announcement under the presumption that M-ATV offers more than the in-theater modifications can deliver.

MRAP integration: Adding bells and whistles to the Cougar, MaxxPro and RG-33



Nifty video showing the outfitting facility that puts standard armed forces equipment on board the MRAPs delivered by the various manufacturers.

I spotted the Cougar, the MaxxPro, the RG-33 and the Buffalo. Sharper eyes may pick out stuff I missed.
