All,

The vehicles produced by Force Protection (www.forceprotection.net) are the South African designs, produced under license. They are selling to the U.S.

However, the deep vee design can't be applied retroactively. The writer who stated that "A relatively minor redesign of military Humvees could save the lives of thousands of US soldiers in Iraq" is completely wrong. Unless by minor redesign he means: raise radiator cap, insert new vehicle, replace radiator cap.
