RP Advanced Mobile Systems of McMinnville, Ore., has announced that it is launching a new line of LTATV Strike and Mobility Vehicles for special operations and rapid reaction forces.
The first of three vehicles to be announced is the RP Advanced C2 Strike Mobility Commander. This vehicle fills the commander’s needs for a C2/C4 vehicle that is low cost, lightweight and can be deployed by fixed and rotary wing aircraft quickly and easily to the battlefield.
The new vehicle is based on the commercially available BRP Can-Am Commander 1000cc side-by-side with modifications designed for the mission-specific requirements of the U.S. military and government agencies. The factory bumpers, suspension, tires, seats and cargo area have all been replaced by RP Advanced Mobile Systems components for longer life and better suitability to the specific requirements of the customer. This vehicle will be one of the first vehicles to utilize RP’s new Fatigue Mitigation MOLLE Tactical Seat system, along with their SOF Series II 12-Ply Run-Flat Tires and T1 Beadlock Wheels, as well as an electrical support system to allow prolonged operation of communications equipment while the vehicle engine is not running.
The two additional vehicles will be based on the Can-Am 101 HP Maverick 1000 in both two- and four-passenger configurations. All three vehicles will be unveiled in booth 450 at the upcoming NDIA SOFIC show in Tampa, Fla, May 14-16. The new RP Advanced C2 Strike Mobility Vehicle is currently being evaluated by military customers and is expected to see service very soon.
Sustainment and training for the new line of vehicles is being managed by MilitaryAtv.com, a leader in sustainment of LTATV, ATV and FOSOV platforms since 2006. Up-fit vehicles and sustainment packages including periodic maintenance products and vehicle-specific special tools, as well as mechanical and driver’s training, will be available under a single contract, providing buyers with a single point of contact for all activities related to the vehicles. In addition to the BRP Can-Am vehicles modified by RP Advanced, MilitaryAtv.com can support nearly any other motorcycle, ATV or LTATV style vehicle in service by the military. Its online manuals, parts diagrams and 24/7 support make it easy for end users to get access to the information they need on their vehicles without having to enter info military specific data systems.
