Force Protection, Inc. [FRPT] recently said that it received a contract modification for the delivery of 14 of its Buffalo A2 route-clearance vehicles and 34 of its Cougar vehicles to the Canadian Government.
“We are delighted that the Canadian military will be receiving this life saving equipment for use in supporting their operations in the global war on terror,” Michael Moody, Force Protection’s chairman and CEO said. “This order further solidifies our belief that the Cougar and Buffalo are proving to be the most survivable, sustainable vehicles on the battlefield.”
The contract modification carries a dollar value not to exceed $49.4 million and includes vehicles, spare parts and field support. The vehicles are scheduled for delivery in 2009.
This represents the second order for Force Protection vehicles by the Canadian Government. In 2007, Force Protection delivered five Buffalo and five Cougar vehicles for the Canadian Expeditionary Force Command.
