| Are these replacing the Humvee? |
|

|
| This vehicle is in a class by it-self. The humvee was never disigned to be a fron-line vehicle. The MATV-MRAPP is a fully armored vehicle. This vehicle has air-craft technolgy and a 60 day orientation. So far the vehicle has only been exposed to the Army and Marines. Many other opoortunites are for the other military orientations and global. As of right now it is a classified vehicle.
Orientation could be at the 30,000 level. The HumVee is a tin can on wheels with NO Armour and 1/2 the size and less than 25% the performance.
The MRAPP vehicle has been designed for the safety of our troops and to meet the terrain of the 1600's to 1700's that it is esposed to in the middle east. Specifically Iraq and Afganiatan less Isreal and Kuwait. United States and our Allies need this vehicles to protect freedom.
This vehicle is definetly the 21st century......I have personally witnessed the complete performamce and testing.......It is considered a freindly vehicle to our enemys.......Good luck.......It is the next thing to a tank only with climbing abilities, speed, and 10 times the performance.
Unbelievable military technolgy.....Can not expose any more information.
