The Buffalo is a wheeled MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) armored vehicle built by Force Protection Inc.
History
The Buffalo vehicle was designed based on the successful South African Casspir mine-protected vehicle.[2]
While the Casspir is a four wheeled vehicle, the Buffalo has six
wheels. Buffalo is also fitted with a large articulated arm, used for ordnance disposal. Both vehicles incorporate a "V" shaped monohull chassis that directs the force of the blast away from the occupants.[3]
Buffalo is also now equipped with BAE Systems' LROD cage armor for additional protection against RPG-7 anti-tank rounds.[4] Glass armor is sufficient at 6 inches thickness. Run-flat tires are present in all tires. The Buffalo combines ballistic and blast protection with infrared technology to detect the presence of dangerous ordnance and a robotic arm
to disable the explosive ordnance. Personnel operate the Buffalo’s
30-foot robotic arm and claw from within the armoured hull via a mounted
camera and sensory equipment, to safely dispose of mines and IEDs.
In 2004, the United States had a limited number of Buffaloes in service, with an order for 15 more, at a cost of $10 million.[5] On June 6, 2008 Force Protection, Inc delivered its 200th Buffalo to the U.S. Military.[6]
