| General
information |
| The
International MaxxPro Dash is a smaller, lighter
and more mobile version of the basic version MaxxPro
MRAP family designed and manufactured by Company
Navistar International. On September 4, 2008 the
U.S. Marine Corp. awarded Navistar a $752 million
contract to develop and produce a lighter, smaller,
and more mobile MaxxPro variant that is less prone
to the rollover problems that have plagued MRAP
vehicles. MaxxPro Dash has a smaller turning radius
and higher torque to weight ratio. As it is designed
to navigate through rough terrains, MaxxPro Dash
is less prone to roll-over problems and is therefore
suitable for deployment in Afghanistan. Production
of the MaxxPro Dash will begin in October 2008 with
delivery of 822 units to be completed by February
2009. The MaxxPro Dash is a mine-resistant ambush
protected (MRAP) armoured personnel carrier. |

| Armament |
| The
MaxxPro Dash can be fitted with armored
glass turret, armed with a 7.62 mm or 12.7
mm machine gun. The
MaxxPro Dash is also ready to be equipped
with a remote controlled weapon station
armed with weapons up to 12.7mm calibre
or an 40 mm automatic grenade launcher.
|
| Protection |
The
MaxxPro Dash is designed to endure improvised
explosive device (IED) attacks and ambushes,
MaxxPro can withstand ballistic arms fire
and mine blasts. The MaxxPro Dash vehicle
incorporates the design of a crew capsule
with a V-shaped hull, which is mounted
on the Navistar International model 7000
chassis. The purpose of the V-hull is
to deflect the blast of either a land
mine or an IED away from the vehicle.
The incorporation of such a design has
enabled MaxxPro to survive a 7kg (15lb)
land mine blast without any injuries.
MaxxPro Dash is designed to accept additional
add-on armor as mission requirements warrant.
The MaxxPro Plus is ready and capable
against EFP (Explosively Formed Projectile)
and RPG (rocket-propelled grenade) threats.
