Mine-resistant ambush protected vehicle (MRAPV), also known asMRAP vehicle, is a type ofarmoured personnel carrier that is designed specifically to withstand the impact of land mines,improvised explosive device (IED) attacks, andambushes to save troops' lives.[1][2][3][4] Most moderninfantry mobility vehicles also have a certain level of MRAP capabilities.

Specialized light armored vehicles designed specifically to resist land mines were first introduced in the 1970s by theRhodesian Army, and were further developed bySouth African manufacturers starting in 1974 with theHippoarmored personnel carrier (APC).[5][6] The first step by theSouth African Defence Force (SADF) was the Bosvark, aUnimog fitted with a shallow mine-deflecting tub on the chassis to protect the crew. Then came the first generation of purpose-built vehicles, including the Hippo and various other light vehicles. They were essentially armouredV-shaped hulls mounted on truck chassis. The next generation was represented by theBuffel, a Unimog chassis with a mine-protected cab and a mine-protected crew compartment mounted on it. These early vehicles overloaded their chassis and they were clumsy off-road. TheCasspir Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle was developed for the SADF after 1980;[7] this was the inspiration for the American and other military MRAPV program and the basis for some of the program's vehicles.[8][9][10]

These vehicles have good off-road mobility, and armor protection against small-arms fire, IEDs, and antipersonnel mines. These armored vehicles generally have a distinctiveV-shaped hull (for mine protection) and a wheeled chassis.[1][2][3][4]
