Caiman MTV (Multi-Theater Vehicle)
Combat Need
The Obama Administration’s planned end strength increase in Afghanistan will require sufficient vehicle quantities to meet troop demands. Lessons in Afghanistan show that troops need advanced mobility capable of dealing with extreme temperature changes, mountainous terrain and poor road infrastructure. In addition, Afghan road infrastructure facilitates more explosive roadside bombs, requiring vehicles to survive these more dangerous and evolving threats.
There is an additional, complementary need for qualified vehicles that provide the sizable interior volume, survivability and stability needed to meet emerging, specialized requirements, including C2 On the Move (C2OTM), ambulance and troop transport for the increased force strength.
Solution: Caiman MTV (Multi-Theater Vehicle)
The Caiman MTV from BAE Systems is an enhanced Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle specially designed to meet the tactical mission requirements in Afghanistan and the variable environments of today’s and tomorrow’s operations. It provides the right balance of interior capacity, tactical mobility and survivability needed for special command and medical units and can be rapidly fielded in theater to effectively equip end strength increases in Afghanistan.
