Historical Background and Application

The Oshkosh M-ATV MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicle was developed by Oshkosh Corporation (USA) for the MRAP All Terrain Vehicle program. Officially introduced into service with the US Army in 2009, it quickly became the main means of transport for US ground forces and NATO contingents in conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. The M-ATV was designed with increased resistance to mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in mind, while maintaining excellent mobility even in the most difficult terrain. The use of a V-shaped hull provided the crew and passengers with a much higher level of safety than earlier armored off-road vehicles, such as the M1114 HMMWV. Period of service: modern times (from 2009).
