The Multi Role Vehicle-Protected (MRV-P) is a programme to deliver future wheeled utility and logistics vehicles for the British Army.
This plan would: provide a robust, easily supported system, comprising operational utility vehicles that are able to carry light cargo (up to six tonnes) or small groups of personnel, integrate as many special-to-role systems as possible and which can operate in diverse climatic and topographical conditions worldwide, in order to support and contribute to land
[2] A Public Sector Tenders tenders report stated that: [The] Multi Role Vehicle Protected (MRV-P) is a Cat A project intended to meet the requirement for a protected deployable platform employed by all Force Elements, at all scales of effort, in a wide range of environments, and on all parts of the battlefield except for the direct fire zone.
The MRV-P should bring commonality to the fleet and reduce the logistic footprint for utility vehicles by 2020.The requirement was further explained in a presentation by then Brigadier PS Rafferty.
Another option was the General Dynamics Land Systems UK (previously Force Protection) Ocelot 4x4 which was already in British Army service.
