OSHKOSH, Wis., Dec. 28 (UPI) -- The U.S. Army has contracted Oshkosh Defense to deliver add-on armor technologies for mine-resistant, ambush-protected all-terrain vehicles.

U.S. company Oshkosh received the contract from the Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command Life Cycle Management Command. Under the approximately $54 million deal, Oshkosh will deliver more than 970 of its M-ATV add-on protection kits.

Oshkosh says the explosives and ballistics protection add-ons are part of an effort to increase the survivability for troops operating M-ATVs during ongoing missions in Afghanistan.

"The M-ATV provides exceptional protection capabilities for our U.S. Armed Forces in Afghanistan, and these add-on armor kits will only further improve upon those capabilities," Andy Hove, Oshkosh Defense executive vice president and president, said in a statement.

"A flexible design and advanced independent suspension system allows the vehicle to take on additional payloads, including add-on armor upgrades."
