  • Mine-Resistant, Ambush-Protected (MRAP) Vehicles: Background and Issues for Congress
    Mine-Resistant, Ambush-Protected (MRAP) Vehicles: Background and Issues for Congress Andrew Feickert Specialist in Military Ground Forces January 18, 2011 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RS22707 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Mine-Resistant, Ambush-Protected (MRAP) Vehicles Summary Congress has played a central role in the MRAP program by suggesting to defense and service officials that MRAPs would provide far superior protection for troops than did the up-armored High Mobility, Multi-Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs ). Congressional support for MRAPs, as well as fully funding the program, has been credited with getting these vehicles to Iraq and Afghanistan in a relatively short timeframe, thereby helping to reduce casualties. Congress may likely continue to be interested in the MRAP program to ensure that the appropriate types and numbers of these vehicles are fielded, as well as to monitor the post-conflict disposition of these vehicles, as they represent a significant investment. In 2007, the Department of Defense (DOD) launched a major procurement initiative to replace most up-armored HMMWVs in Iraq with Mine-Resistant, Ambush-Protected (MRAP) vehicles. MRAPs have been described as providing significantly more protection against Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) than up-armored HMMWVs. Currently, DOD has approved an acquisition objective of 25,700 vehicles, of which 8,100 are the newer Military-All-Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) version, designed to meet the challenges of Afghanistan’s rugged terrain. DOD officials have indicated that this total may be increased depending on operational needs in Afghanistan. DOD reports that as of January 6, 2011, 13,624 MRAPs had been delivered to Afghanistan, including more than 6,500 M-ATVs.

(Nasdaq:SPAR), announced today that its Defense and Government operating group has been awarded a subcontract from defense contractor BAE Systems to support the production of 22 International Light Armored Vehicles (ILAVs). The subcontract is the second delivery order against a three year Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract and validates the diversified growth and operational strengths of the Spartan Defense and Government (SDG) business unit. These vehicles perform specialized, mission-critical tasks such as supporting convoy operations, investigating possible improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and additional rapid response needs. Under the terms of the subcontract, Spartan will provide automotive integration, final assembly, coordination of Government inspection and delivery to the Government. Production for the units will begin in February 2015 on Spartan's Charlotte campus with an expected completion of June 2015. "This subcontract is another confirmation that Spartan Chassis maintains the operational excellence and competencies required to execute to the exacting standards of BAE," said Art Ickes, Division President, Specialty Vehicles. "Spartan is pleased to provide major customers like BAE Systems with the highest quality vehicles for these mission critical and often life-saving deployments. We appreciate our ongoing partnership with BAE Systems." Spartan has been awarded multiple subcontract orders for advanced tactical vehicles under the International Light Armored Vehicle (ILAV), Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) and Medium Mine Protected Vehicle (MMPV) programs.

    Mine-protected Transports 2013 armada INTERNATIONAL: The trusted source for defence technology information since 1976 To bridge the gap between its Cobra light armoured vehicle and its IFVs Otokar of Turkey developed a mine-resistant vehicle named Kaya. (Otokar) MINE-PROTECTED TRANSPORTS: WHat LIES AHEAD? One of the unanswered questions for most military planners is what will happen after Afghanistan. The Second Gulf War, or to be more precise the “follow-on stabilisation effort”, had led to a new category of vehicle, namely the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected, or Mrap as it became universally known. As this definition is very much US-related we prefer that of “mine-protected vehicles”, which includes the notion of protection against improvised explosive devices, which became the main risk for troops moving in theatre.
