RE: BAEThis is not part of the US contact for MRAP-ATV, it basically resets/maintain the current M113 vechicles that the US Army already have including bulking up with some additional add-on armor (probably add on bar cage armor) for that particular design. The contract is probably the result of the recent US Congress Supplemental budget appropriation money available and the military securing support for a particular fleet.
The M113 is one of many US classes of vechicles from various manufactures for different purposes. I know that BAE has bar cage armor add-ons as well as some thinner facbric tape armor protection and is also involved with one Israel OEM in conjunction with Osh Kosh.
