The MMPV will be used by army engineers to conduct route and area clearance missions, command and control, mount mine clearing systems and conduct explosive hazards reconnaissance.
BAE has received an initial US$20m order for nine MMPV test vehicles, test support, armour testing packages and associated maintenance items.
Delivery is scheduled for May to August this year.
