The 807 vehicles being delivered consists of 737 vehicles that are to meet the capability requirement and an additional 70 to meet future operational attrition. The additional 70 vehicles are a component of an acquisition of an additional 101 vehicles that was announced by Government in May 2011, the remaining 31 additional Protected Mobility Vehicle (PMV) are to be managed as a sustainment activity outside of Project Bushranger. These vehicles will provide protected land mobility to Army units and Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Airfield Defence Guards. In addition to the acquisition of the vehicles through the Approved Major Capability Investment Program, a number of enhancements are being made to the vehicles through the Rapid Acquisition process. These enhancements do not form part of the Project Land 116 Phase 3, but do impinge upon the project. |
