United States MRAP program

Program to produce mine-resistant ambush protected vehicle

United States MRAP program was created to produce mine-resistant ambush protected vehicles for the country. In 2004, the TSG/FPI Cougar was designed by a British-led U.S. team, to U.S. Marine Corps requirements. It became the springboard from which the MRAP program was launched. Only two "armor quality" steel mills operate in the U.S.: the Russian-owned Oregon Steel Mills and the International Steel Group (now part of ArcelorMittal).
