Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) Vehicles Prototypes
In 2007, the Marine Corps was tasked to accelerate acquisition, integration, and transport of MRAP vehicles for the units in-theater in Afghanistan and Iraq. To do so, nine vendors were awarded prototype or production contracts and testing was coordinated between the Army's Aberdeen Test and Evaluation Command and the Marine Corps Operation Test and Evaluation Activity. Prototypes that passed the MRAP tests were put into production.

Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) Vehicles Production
The U.S. Navy Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) production facility was expanded to handle the integration and installation of Government Furnished Equipment (GFE such as electronics, weapons, military accessories). The vehicles and GFE were shipped to SPAWAR. GFE was packed in kits, specific to the vehicle and the service that will use it (Army, Navy, USAF, USMC, SOCOM). The complex program was highly successful, delivering thousands of vehicles per month to the end-user warfighters, saving lives by frustrating enemy use of IEDs.
