Well the numbers will be in flux, I first reported on the M-ATV in the end of Sept. 2009, alot has happened since then. Also for future reference army-guide.com only reports on the contracts as they are signed and approved for further procurement of existing programs and as new ones come on line i.e. ARCHER SPA.
Alright here we go!
1. OCELOT of the British MOD MPPV program has been selected by the Australian MOD as the final entry into their LAND 121 program it will compete against the
HAWKEI and
EAGLE IV. SPV 400 not chosen to participate. Does this give the OCELOT the inside track in the UK MOD MPPV program? On the surface of it simply, no! This article quickly and nicely ties in all three vehicles into the LAND 121 program.

2. UK MOD tenders for SUPRACAT SPV 400 as it moves on in the MPPV program.

This is
NOT the CASSPIR and not made by the same company, though using it as a benchmark, in a manner of speaking it is one on "steroids". UNAMID units purchased by Canada for Darfur Ops. A couple of these sources (And others.) indicate up to seven African countries operate these from some "snippets" I came across I would say South Africa , Senegal, Angola and Kenya. And I'm still short one. Senegal and Angola I believe are using ones supplied by UNAMID for Darfur. Any help here would be good with good sources for Don as my mission is to get improved and new units into the game.
