Defense Technology International - April 2008 - (Page 5) Force Protection's Cougar and Buffalo blast- and ballistic-protected vehicles have an unmatched record of safety with U.S. armed forces, and have withstood in excess of 3,000 blast attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2003. Across the world, a community of nations has recognized that the best protection they can offer their finest men and women is found in Force Protection's vehicles. Cougar Mastiff The military personnel of these nations, like Private Kadim of the Iraq Army, share this conviction. Cougar 6X6 His Iraqi Light Armored Vehicle (ILAV), based on the Cougar design, was hit by four IEDs during an ambush. The crew, unharmed, escaped to another vehicle. Private Kadim says that the ILAV is a very safe vehicle, and excellent for fighting the terrorists. An officer of the British Army said that the Cougar Mastiff is a “monster” of a vehicle that withstood several mine and IED strikes and prevented countless casualties. Three Soldiers in an explosive ordnance unit from the Canadian Army survived an IED blast in their Cougar. The vehicle was tossed sideways, but the entire crew walked away. Cougar ILAV Force Protection is proud to supply its innovative technological solutions to safeguard those who defend our freedoms around the globe both now, and in the years to come. www.forceprotection.net Buffalo Force Protection, Inc. manufactures ballistic- and mine-protected vehicles through its wholly owned subsidiary Force Protection Industries, Inc. http://www.forceprotection.net
