ID (Oshkosh MRAP?)
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Hmm... Not quite sure... That appears to be an Oshkosh logo on the grill... Can you link to the original flickr page? Neil

It looks close to the Oshkosh 'Alpha' but it's different. I agree about the Oshkosh logo. I searched MRAP and found very few with a one-piece windshield. FLICKR PHOTO _________________ "TUMBLEWEED"

I'd say its some sort of Alpha variant. Its clearly not Oshkosh's MRAP ATV. Neil

Just found a photo with the NSN on it. Maybe that will give a clue? OSHKOSH MRAP _________________ "TUMBLEWEED"

Rather unsurprisingly, the NSN says its an Alpha Mine Resistant Vehicle... Neil

Doubtful, Alpha was rejected a while ago. Dead end as far as I know... I suspect this is just an as yet before unseen version. Not that big a deal really... Neil
