Bushmaster is specially designed to meet the requirements of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) to rapidly deploy battle ready troops in all field conditions. The ADF demanded a highly mobile infantry vehicle providing significant troop protection, all terrain agility and expeditionary capacity. High level crew comfort and mobility ensure rapid deployment and delivery of battle ready troops to critical areas. Bushmaster is the latest generation of High Mobility Infantry Protected vehicles.

The Thales Bushmaster family of vehicles has been developed jointly by Thales Australia and Timoney Technology Limited to provide a unique combination of protection, mobility and comfort.

The integrated vee-shaped armoured hull protects occupants by deflecting mine blasts anywhere under the vehicle. Protection is also provided from side blasts from improvised and roadside explosive devices (IED) and fragment shaped projectiles (FSP).

Windows also carry similar ballistic protection. Bushmaster

havent heard of it sounds good, oshkosh trucks build something simular, they cannot find enough welders to fill the demand for the military, no one has died in these yet, they are large though. i think the congress and military defence contractors have to many finacial ties to one another,to worrie about whats best for our troops

It appears that we (U.S.) have 1500 Bushmasters on order as of June,'07. IMHO, that top gunner could use a little more cover.

g'day jh, sadly, too many yanks (no names mentioned), are all to happy to send their kids off to war, at great risk, so the president's mates can get rich....they havent won a war for a bloody long time, but war is good business.... anyway, i hope their troops are safer in our bushmasters..they are precious, just like all people of any creed, someone's sons and daughters.
good luck this season mate, al.
