(Sealy, Texas, March 20, 2008) -- BAE Systems has been awarded a $15 million contract modification for Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle test support from the U.S. Marine Corps. The contract supports Caiman MRAP vehicle production in Sealy, Texas, and funds Outside-the-Continental-U.S. instructors, key personnel, new equipment training activities and includes program instruction and a training support package that will be provided to soldiers in theatre.

"This modification extends our in-theatre support of service training," said Chris Chambers, vice president of Medium/Heavy Vehicles for BAE Systems. "It leverages the commonality Caiman shares with the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles, thousands of which are deployed, to deliver efficient and effective fielding of the system."
