In recent years, NATO forces have been forced to react swiftly to the challenges posed by the evolving tactics adopted by insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan. The increasing deployment of the IED as the weapon of choice wrong footed conventional military planning and necessitated the rapid development of vehic'es to meet a threat that has continued to evolve in response to countermeasuresrnThe early attempts at providing protected mobility focused on the available resources in the shape of conventional vehicles, such as MBTs, IFVs and APCs, and the logistic vehicle fleet. Although adaptations such as bar armour and electronic countermeasures greatly increased the survivability of heavier vehicles, ad hoc adaptation of in service vehicles (such as the HMMWV), and the use of vehicles designed for lower intensity environments (such as the Snatch Land Rover) proved less successful.
