As the war on terror keeps dragging on, the need for better equipped vehicles to be used in Afghanistan increases. Since the factory-built armor for the MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) used there seems to no longer be enough, the US Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command Life Cycle Management Command (TACOM LCMC) awarded Oshkosh Defense with a $54 million contract for the delivery of 970 add-on protection kits for the aforementioned vehicles. <\/p>\n
