Strategy
Force Protection continues to manufacture and supply larger, heavier-weight vehicles, such as the Buffalo, which is routinely used in route clearance missions. However, it is anticipated that lighter-weight and more agile versions will be adopted as militaries around the world modernize their tactical vehicle fleets. This is consistent with what's happening in the UK with the LPPV program and in Australia with the Land 121 requirement. Force Protection expects that a similar strategy will be followed in the US.
