Responding to the continued threat posed by armor-melting explosively formed penetrators, the Corps will add thousands of pounds of scalable bolt-on plates to some Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles.
Marine Corps Systems Command has purchased $30 million in new add-on armor kits from Force Protection Inc., the Ladson, S.C.,-based company announced Dec. 17. It will pay for kits to be used on 196 Cougar MRAPs, which the company manufactures, said Damon Walsh, a vice president at Force Protection.
