BAE RG-33L CAT Ii and Ambulance variant - GDLS-C RG-31 A2 CAT 1 - RAE TVS Caiman CAT I • Units equipped with the MRAP CAT 1 vehicles will conduct small unit combat operations such as mounted patrols and reconnaissance. Many of these Operations are conducted in urban areas. Units equipped with MRAP CAT II vehicles conduct ground logistics operations including convoy security, troop and cargo transportation, and medical evacuation- The MRAP Ambulance variant supports the conduct of medical treatment and evacuation. Activity • In FY I0. the MRAP program continued a capabilities insertion program to acquire, test, and assess enhanced capabilities and solutions to be integrated across the MRAP Family of Vehicles. The major capability insertions are the following: ISS: Command. Control. and Communication Suite: Common Remote Weapon Station: and Gunner Protective Kit Overhead Protective Cover. • The <strong>Joint</strong> Program Office is managing the capability insertion program through Engineering Change Proposals. The capability insertions are undergoing developmental, live fire, and operational testing to assess their contribution to MRAP operational effectiveness. • ATEC completed the operational testing of the FPI Cougar ISS and Navistar Dash MRAP variants in December 2009 at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona. • In March 2011, the program will execute a Limited User Test (LUT) at Yuma Proving, Ground, Arizona, to examine a unit's ability to execute missions with the MRAP Family of Vehicles modified with an ISS and the operational effectiveness of the FPI Cougar CAT II ambulance variant- • Following publication of the DOT&E MRAP report in March 2010, the Secretary of Defense directed additional live tire testing on two of the MRAP variants. ATEC completed these tests in accordance with a DOT&E-approved test plan- • ATEC completed Live Fire testing orate FPI Cougar Al and A2 ISS upgrades in 3QFY10- DOT&E plans to issue a single vulnerability report on these vehicles in early 30 MRAP Family of Vehicles • M RAP vehicles support multi-Service missions and are fielded to units based upon priorities established by the operational commander. Major Contractors • Force Protection Industries (FPI), Inc, — Ladson, South Carolina • General Dynamics Land Systems Canada — Ontario, Canada • NAVISTAR Defense Warrenville, Illinois • BAE-TVS — Rockville, Maryland • RAE Systems — Santa Clara, California Assessment • The FPI Cougar CAT I and CAT II demonstrated the off-road mobility needed to transport units over Afghanistan -like terrain during the MRAP All Terrain Vehicle IOT&E. • The FPI Cougars with ISS enable units to be less predictable in their movement, continue operations under minor protection, and conduct a greater variety of mounted maneuver to approach and secure an objective than possible with current MRAPs. • The FPI Cougars are operationally suitable- • The Navistar Dash, as tested, is not operationally effective For use in ;Operation Enduring Freedom. These vehicles could not negotiate cross-country terrain. The program plans to incorporate an ISS to improve off-road mobility- The MRAP program intends to complete operational testing of an ISS-equipped. Dash in FY11. The vehicles were not operationally suitable due to poor reliability, The Navistar Dash demonstrated 121 Mean Miles between Operational Mission Failure (MMBOMF) versus its operational requirement of 600 MMBOMF. Recommendations • Status of Previous Recommendations. The MRAP program continues to address all previous recommendations. • FY 10 Recommendation- I, The program should improve the Navistar Dash reliability and off-road mobility capability by integrating an ISS and completing operational testing of an ISS-equipped Dash-
Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) All Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) Executive Summary • The Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) completed the IOT&E for the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) All Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona, in December 2009, • ATEC completed the majority of the Live Fire testing documented in the M-ATV Operational -fest Agency Test Plan by March 2010. • DOT&E provided the M-ATV Live Fire and Operational Test and Evaluation Report to Congress and the Secretary of Defense in June 2010- DOT&F, assessed the M-ATV as operationally effective. operationally suitable, and survivable for armored tactical mobility and transport to units in support of Operation Enduring Freedom missions. • The Special Operations Force (SOF) M-ATV variant IOT&E Gs planned for November 2010. Sytem • The M-ATV is the smallest vehicle of the MRAP family of vehicles. The M-ATV is designed to have the current MRAP level of protection and mobility similar to the High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle (H.MM WV). The vehicle will support combat and stability operations: in highly restricted rural, mountainous- and urban terrain with off-road movement conducted greater than 50 percent of the time- • The M-ATV is designed to improve vehicle and crew survivability over the up-armored HMMWV The M-ATV has the capability to add protection against attacks by Explosively Formed Penetrators (Fn.'s) and Rocket-Propelled Grenades (RPGs) to support mounted patrols, reconnaissance, security, and convoy protection. • The M-ATV is designed to transport five persons and incorporates current Service command and control and counter-IED systems. The M-ATV includes gun mounts with gunner protection kits capable of mounting a variety of weapons systems such as the M240B medium machine gun, Activity • ATEC completed the IOT&E for the M-ATV at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona. in December 2009. • In March 2010. the Marine Corps Operational Test and Evaluation Activity completed M-ATV high-altitude testing at Camp Navajo, Arizona- • The MRAP program has procured 421 SOF M-ATV variants for Special Operations Command. Base MATV • Special Operations Forces MATV the M2 -50 caliber heavy machine gun, and the Mk 19 grenade launcher. • Oshkosh Defense has been awarded a production delivery order for 10,000 M-ATV vehicles- • The U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) required modifications to the base M-ATV vehicle to support SOF missions- These vehicles are referred to as the SOF M-ATV variants- The modifications included an additional fifth seat position, protection for the cargo area, rear area access, and some other improvements for human factors- Mission • Units equipped with the M-ATV vehicle conduct mounted patrols, convoy patrols, convoy , proteetion, reconnaissance, and communications, as well as command and control missions to support combat and stability operations in highly restricted rural. mountainous, and urban terrain. The MATV is reconfigurable to meet mission requirements- • M-ATV vehicles support multi-Service missions and are fielded to units based upon priorities established by the operational commander- Major Contractor Oshkosh Defense Oshkosh, Wisconsin • Live Fire testing of the SOF M-ATV variant commenced in 3QFY 10- • USSOCOM began the SOF M-ATVloTk var-ant in November 2010 at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona.
