Business Wire
Force Protection, Inc. (NASDAQ: FRPT), a leading American
designer, developer and manufacturer of survivability solutions,
will debut the Joint All-Terrain Modular Mobility Asset (JAMMA)
vehicle at the Association of the United States Army (AUSA)
Institute of Land Warfare’s Winter Symposium in Ft. Lauderdale,
Fla., February 24-26, 2010 at booth #109.
JAMMA is the only armor-ready, four-occupant, hybrid,
high-performance off-road vehicle that can be transported inside
the V-22 Osprey helicopter. It is equipped to handle high speeds
during extreme off-roading, on highways and through urban terrain.
JAMMA is also capable of rapidly adapting to and being armored for
specific mission profiles such as reconnaissance, rescue/recovery,
med-evac and mobile security.
“We believe there is an ongoing need for our U.S. troops and
allied forces to have access to lighter, highly mobile vehicles,”
said Michael Moody, Chairman and CEO of Force Protection, Inc. “The
JAMMA vehicle has been designed from the ground up to be the new
standard in light tactical vehicles and its light weight, high
strength structure provides a wealth of multi-role mission
configurations for its end-users. The JAMMA represents a different
type of survivability solution focused on speed, mobility and
concealment.”
JAMMA satisfies the requirements of special operations user
groups. It has optimized rollover protection and features an
attachment system with threat-specific armor that can be easily
attached or removed in virtually any environment. The vehicle
includes stadium seating that protects the driver while allowing
360-degree return fire and features a state-of-the-art hybrid
engine that optimizes vehicle efficiency and generates 22kw
continuous exportable power.
Force Protection, in collaboration with Raydon Corp., a global
leader in simulation products and solutions, will also showcase
Raydon’s Buffalo MPCV simulator. This training system instructs war
fighters on how to visually detect IEDs and interrogate them using
the Buffalo’s unique interrogation arm/crane. This training system
will help war fighters improve their route clearance skills, learn
the latest tactics, techniques, and procedures for route clearance.
The Buffalo crewmembers view the virtual battlefield through four
40-inch LCD monitors. With a 180 degree field of view (FOV) from an
elevated seating position crews can detect IEDs and interrogate
suspected IEDs with the hand held controls for the interrogation
arm/crane. Crews are able to get an up close look at the suspected
IED with a camera with zoom lens and maneuverable spotlights which
enable crews to provide their night missions successfully.
“Force Protection has been instrumental in getting MRAP vehicles
to our war fighter in Iraq and Afghanistan and there is no doubt
they have been invaluable in the fight. We are very excited to be
showcasing our Buffalo training system (MPCV) alongside Force
Protection at Winter AUSA. Training our troops on route clearance
best practices and preparing them to use MRAPs before they deploy
is essential to mission success,” said Mike Vollmar, CEO, Raydon
Corporation.
Michael Moody continued, “Having Raydon’s Buffalo simulator
along with the JAMMA at AUSA Winter gives us the opportunity to
showcase different types of survivability solutions to potential
customers. We are pleased to have Raydon Corporation join in our
AUSA Winter demonstrations.”
The company’s booth will also feature an interactive
touch-screen video wall that provides detailed information
regarding its full range of survivability solutions, including an
overview of its Total Life Cycle Support services, as well as
information regarding Force Protection, Inc.’s products and
employees who are working to save heroes lives around the
world.
