In the report, the analyst notes:
"The Company's specialty vehicles, the Cougar and the Buffalo have a proven track record in the battlefield. The Company's newest vehicle, the Cheetah, is designed specifically for reconnaissance, forward command and control and urban operations, and combines state-of-the-art ballistic and blast protection with the mobility of a unique light-armored vehicle. In May 2009, the first batch of 300 new armored Mastiff 2 and Ridgeback vehicles developed by the Company has reached Afghanistan and has now been put to work in front line operations.
"The Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles program started in 2006 when between October and December 2006 the U.S. Navy evaluated nine suppliers for the procurement of MRAP trucks, destined to augment and later replace up-armored HMMWVs currently operating in Iraq and Afghanistan. FRPT was one of nine vendors authorized under MRAP."
