The Pentagon continues to dispatch MRAP orders to whoever can produce the huge quantities required to protect the troops in Iraq. BAE Systems receives contract for 441 additional MRAP vehicles. 425 of the new vehicles will be 4x4 (Category I) vehicles, the remaining 16 will be Category II (6x6) configured as ambulances and other support vehicles. BAE Systems will deliver vehicles based on the RG-33 design, offering improved survivability and large armor protected volume. The RG33L MRAP ambulance accommodates several litter and ambulatory patients via a novel litter lift system. The vehicle also provides space for a medic work station and key medical equipment.
