The UK Ministry of Defence has awarded a contract to Force Protection to provide two Ocelot vehicles for additional tests as part of the light protected patrol vehicle (LPPV) programme.
Force Protection Europe managing director David Hind said ocelot had been performing well in tests since mid-2009 and demonstrated its unprecedented levels of survivability and manoeuvrability for a vehicle of this size and weight.
