The MRAP belongs to a line of armoured fighting vehicles used to provide enhanced crew protection against improvised explosive device (IED) attacks and landmines during transportation and mission-related events in the battlefield.

Equipped with V-shaped hulls and armour plating, the vehicles have been manufactured in a total of seven variants, spread across three categories by several domestic and international companies for use by the US Army and Marine Corps.

The variants include Cougar, Cheetah, MaxxPro, Oshkosh, Caiman, RG33 and Ridgeback, manufactured by General Dynamics Land Systems, Force Dynamics, Navistar, Oshkosh, BAE Systems and Force Protection Industries Incorporated.

MRAPs were extensively used to conduct operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and currently account for 7% of the army’s wheeled vehicle inventory.
