Force Protection

At the core of this company is innovation. Force Protection was the first American company to introduce the concept of the V-shaped monocoque hull. Our Buffalo and Cougar vehicles were first fielded with the military in 2003. Their design characteristics have formed the basis for the U.S. Department of Defense Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle program, the most ambitious military vehicle production initiative since World War II.
