Force Armor KitsForce Protection's armor is called "Force Armor". Apparently they have armor kits/agreements with two of the other M-ATV bidders Oshkosh and GD. Note, that the Cougar vehicles have these kit potential which is a LAV vechicle from GD, or the Coyote for Cdn military or the new Lav-H.
Force Protection also has a new way to benefit from the M- ATV program even if its own bid isn’t ultimately successful --the company is supplying armor kits to two other bidders in the contest.
The new kits, called Force Armor, are designed to stop the most dangerous bombs used in Iraq, called explosively formed penetrators, or EFPs. Force Protection has agreements to supply them to Oshkosh and General Dynamics for its second M-ATV bid, Walsh said.
To date, the kits have only been added on the company’s own Cougar vehicles. If they were applied to a winning Oshkosh or General Dynamics M-ATV bid, it would represent the first application on another manufacturer’s vehicles, Walsh said.
Force Protection won its first contracts for the armor from the Marine Corps in December valued at $30 million.
