MRAP Cougar

Light armored vehicles designed specifically to resist land mines were first introduced in specialized vehicles in the 1970s by the Rhodesian Army, and further developed by South African manufacturers, starting in 1974 with the Hippo armored personnel carrier (APC).
Here we have the US Military's Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected Cougar or 'MRAP' which are light tactical vehicles produced as part of the MRAP program that are designed specifically to withstand improvised explosive device (IED) attacks and ambushes.
This project was inspired by the MRAP's Zimbabwean, (previously named Rhodesia), origins, its symbolism of endurance despite the odds and allowed us to flex our modeling and texturing skills.
