Since things have been quiet around here lately I think due to "pre-patch release syndrome" and a general lack of updates in the areas I'm following, I thought I would provide the following article concerning the future role of the MRAP as the Iraqi theater of operations winds down. I hope for those who read it you'll find it as interesting as I did.

The AI awaits me as my Japanese forces get ready for a "special battle" against the Russians in a meeting engagement or in AI speak prepare to be met by a large assaulting force! Take Care and have a GREAT weekend! And for those who celebrate it, a HAPPY ST. PADDYS DAY!!
Sometimes you just gotta love them icons.

The total DoD buy as of November 2009 was ~6,500 vehicles. By January 2010, it was 6,619. A news story in March 2010 suggested the Army's portion of that was ~6,000 vehicles by itself. That's the latest info I have. I have not seen anything clear about their distribution, but I assume that they are likely being subbed in for UAHs as appropriate. This is all on Globalsecurity.org's page on the M-ATV.

[FASTBOAT TOUGH]

The M-ATV numbers are close, army-guide.com off their contract page has the count at 6556 units that have been paid for to date.
defpro.com reports that about 470 more units will be delivered to SOCOM in Oct. - Nov. 2010 with the CROWS II system mounted. I think one of my first posts on the M-ATV gave a breakdown on who's getting what and how many. SOCOM M-ATV article:

In that post you suggested that out of a 6,500 vehicle total, the USMC was to get 1,100, the USAF and Navy 100, and the Army would get the balance. Army News reported in March 2010 that it expected the service to receive 6,000 vehicles.

I need to update the specific page on Globalsecurity.org because we also have this announcement from Oshkosh from February suggesting a total buy of 8,079 vehicles by that point (up a little less than 1,500 from the January total). This would easily allow for a USMC buy of 1,100 or more vehicles, depending on the requirements for the USAF and Navy (and those 450 vehicles for SOCOM, but I don't know if that's on this contract or not).

The contract limit I believe was 10,000 vehicles, so it could easily get up to that.

Well the numbers will be in flux, I first reported on the M-ATV in the end of Sept. 2009, alot has happened since then. Also for future reference army-guide.com only reports on the contracts as they are signed and approved for further procurement of existing programs and as new ones come on line i.e. ARCHER SPA.
Alright here we go!
1. OCELOT of the British MOD MPPV program has been selected by the Australian MOD as the final entry into their LAND 121 program it will compete against the HAWKEI and EAGLE IV. SPV 400 not chosen to participate. Does this give the OCELOT the inside track in the UK MOD MPPV program? On the surface of it simply, no! This article quickly and nicely ties in all three vehicles into the LAND 121 program.

2. UK MOD tenders for SUPRACAT SPV 400 as it moves on in the MPPV program.

New Vehicles:

1. GILA/Nigeria&UNAMID/2007&2009 Respectively/C2 P9-10/
TM 12.7mm or 20mm & RM 7.62mm or DB 40mm GL RDs for all UKN/WinSPMBT Status: Not in (Or any see below.).

This is NOT the CASSPIR and not made by the same company, though using it as a benchmark, in a manner of speaking it is one on "steroids". UNAMID units purchased by Canada for Darfur Ops. A couple of these sources (And others.) indicate up to seven African countries operate these from some "snippets" I came across I would say South Africa , Senegal, Angola and Kenya. And I'm still short one. Senegal and Angola I believe are using ones supplied by UNAMID for Darfur. Any help here would be good with good sources for Don as my mission is to get improved and new units into the game.
