THIS IS BIG!

Army Eyeing Replacement of All Humvees in Iraq with New Armored Vehicle

May 2, 2007 -- The Army is considering a request from commanders in Iraq to replace every humvee there with a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle, a move that -- if approved -- could more than triple the size of the MRAP program, which today carries an $8.4 billion price tag.

This proposal comes as the new-start MRAP effort -- which aims to rapidly build and field a large armored vehicle fleet -- elbowed its way on to the agenda of the most senior Pentagon officials this week, including the defense secretary and Defense Department’s high-level Joint Requirements Oversight Council.

Army brass this spring advanced a requirement for 2,500 MRAP vehicles, which have v-shaped hulls designed to protect occupants from roadside bombs, as part of a Marine Corps-led effort to build a fleet of 7,774 MRAPs and field them to U.S. forces in Iraq over the next 18 months.

Commanders in Iraq, however, now believe Army personnel -- which suffer daily attacks from improvised explosive devices -- require a significantly larger MRAP fleet.

“We’ve got a requirement from the field that’s a larger number than [2,500] and we’re going to take a long, hard look at that,” Pete Geren, the acting Army secretary, told the Senate Armed Services airland subcommittee on April 25. “The number that came from the field was 17,000 -- total replacement of the humvee fleet.”

Officials on the Army staff declined requests to discuss details of the services’ MRAP requirement, which could produce a large unfunded wedge in the service’s modernization portfolio. Estimated per-unit MRAP costs -- including the vehicle, communication gear, electronic warfare capabilities, and two years of contractor support -- range from $1 million to $1.3 million, depending on which of three different-sized MRAP variants is procured, sources familiar with program details said.

Still, Geren suggested at the hearing that Army leaders are open to raising the MRAP requirement, noting he “was not confident” with the 2,500-vehicle goal. “Perhaps it should be more,” he said.

In effect, the Army is considering a policy change similar to the Marine Corps’ decision earlier this year to provide MRAP-level protection for all Marines in al Anbar province.

“Under this policy, limited use of Up-Armored [humvees] will be authorized in specific tactical situations where the operational characteristics of [humvee] are required,” Gen. James Conway, Marine Corps commandant, wrote in a March 1 memo on the status of the MRAP program to Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

This Marine Corps policy change, validated by the service’s brass on Feb. 6, propelled its requirement for MRAP vehicles from 1,022 to 3,700.

The Army’s assessment of its total MRAP need comes as the Joint Requirements Oversight Council, the Pentagon’s high-level panel that must approve all new-start weapons programs, was scheduled on May 2 to consider -- and possibly endorse -- the requirement for 7,774 MRAP vehicles.

Even this figure represents recent growth spurred Air Force and U.S. Special Operations Command requirements.

Yesterday, in another sign of the high profile MRAP enjoys in the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Robert Gates received a program overview briefing, according to Marine Corps spokesman Bill Johnson-Miles.

Meanwhile, support for the MRAP program continues to grow on Capitol Hill. The House Armed Services air and land subcommittee today announced it has added $4.1 billion to buy MRAPs in fiscal year 2008, an extraordinary sum -- even in the context of U.S. defense spending -- for an effort that is not a program of record and was not a priority only a year ago.

The House panel’s action follows last week’s commitment by Congress to provide $3 billion for MRAP purchases over the next six months. President Bush, however, vetoed the spending bill that contained the MRAP funds yesterday because of provisions regarding U.S. troop withdrawals from Iraq.

So far, the MRAP program in fiscal year 2007 has spent all but $150 million of the $1.4 billion available to the Marine Corps through congressional appropriations and internal reprogramming actions, according to a Marine Corps spokeswoman.

Nearly $900 million has been used to place orders for 1,639 vehicles on contract, a handful of which are complete.

The current impasse over the fiscal year 2007 emergency supplemental spending package is forcing the Marine Corps to search internally for additional resources for MRAP.

“We are investigating additional reprogramming and realignment funding options to make more funding available to the program before appropriation and receipt of the FY-07 supplemental funding,” said Dedra Jone, spokeswoman for the MRAP program. “Other than orders already placed and planned with funds on hand, we cannot place additional orders until more funding is available.”

Sources said the service is preparing a new reprogramming request worth nearly $500 million to ensure that it has funds on hand to award production contracts over the next four weeks. This would be a second reprogramming action designed to shift funds to the MRAP program this spring. In March, Pentagon Comptroller Tina Jonas approved a $498 million reprogramming for MRAP.

The push to make MRAP funds available comes as the Marine Corps and Army in late May are scheduled to complete testing of prototypes from eight tactical vehicle manufacturers. A key element of the rapid acquisition strategy is to begin awarding contracts as soon as testing is complete. -- Jason Sherman

Force Protection, Demand Rising Fast, Execution nearly Perfect

The US Military and the US government have realized that the best way to save lives in Iraq and Afghanistan are to provide the soldiers with Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles. This realization was slow in coming but now that it has arrived, the demand for MRAP vehicles is for thousands of such vehicles each year.

Force Protection’s Cougars and Buffalos are the safest and least expensive MRAP vehicles in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Force Protection’s vehicles were exhaustively tested against competing vehicles by both the British and US Government in the past and the Cougar and Buffalo outperformed all other vehicles.

Force Protection’s vehicles are built to be rapidly repaired in case of damage by mines or IEDs. They are built where possible with common truck parts from US manufactures so that spare parts are inexpensive and easily available.

Force Protection has been improving the blast resistant design based on what they have learned from thousands of mine and IED blasts on their vehicles in Iraq and Afghanistan for several years.

Force Protection has licenses to the best anti-Mine and anti-IED technology available from South Africa. They have been adapting and improving the technology for several years and have developed new designs and technology. Force Protection’s chief scientist, Dr. Vernon Joynt is the worlds leading expert on blast protection.

Force Protection has a new smaller vehicle called the Cheetah that is small enough to be a replacement for the Humvee. They developed the vehicle over several years and the military has been testing it. Now Force Protection is building the manufacturing capacity to build hundreds of these vehicles per month.

Force Protection will soon need the manufacturing capacity because the Army has recently announced that they would like to replace all Humvees used in combat areas with MRAP type vehicles.

Therefore, the Army needs at least 17,000 Cougars and the smaller Cheetah. The Cheetah is closer in size to a Humvee and is less expensive than a Cougar. It is currently the best possible replacement for the Humvee.

Force Protection has revolutionary new add on armor to protect against the new IED threat called the Explosively Formed Projectile (EFP). This armor can be added to any Force Protection vehicle or other armored vehicle such as the Stryker or RG-31.

Force Protection is developing new blast manipulation technology that can be added to any wheeled vehicle such as the Humvee that is nearing completion.

The new armor and blast protection technology will be additional high margin products that Force Protection can sell to retrofit all types of vehicles.

Force Protection is expanding very quickly and they have forged new manufacturing agreements and alliances with the largest defense contractors in the world. The reason that the large defense contractors are working with Force Protection is because Force Protection has the best vehicles, the best technology and will be getting the most contracts from the military.

In short, Force Protection has the most advanced anti-Mine and anti-IED technology, they have the best vehicles and they are making the best political, technological and business decisions imaginable.

Money available for MRAPs despite budget veto

By Kimberly Johnson - Staff writer
Posted : Wednesday May 2, 2007 18:45:58 EDT

While ongoing political wrangling between lawmakers and the White House promises to tie up a $124 billion war-spending bill for the short term, the Marine Corps still has money available for blast-resistant vehicles needed in Iraq, said an acquisition spokesman.

President Bush’s veto of the contentious measure was prompted by a provision calling for a timeline to pull U.S. forces out of Iraq. However, the move put in limbo money meant to pay for ongoing combat operations, including $3 billion earmarked for Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles for Marines.

The Corps recently placed a $481 million order for 1,000 MRAPs but could still buy more. “We have approximately $150 million available,” said Dedra Jones, spokeswoman for Marine Corps Systems Command at Quantico, Va.

The aggressive MRAP acquisition strategy for the four services and special operations is dependent on the $3 billion in the supplemental war funding bill spiked by Bush on Tuesday to stay on track. “Approximately $4.4 billion is required in [fiscal 2008] to complete the program,” said SysCom spokesman Bill Johnson-Miles. “The funding is contingent upon supplemental appropriations.”

Just how many MRAP vehicles the services need, however, has yet to be finalized. “The [Joint Requirements Oversight Council] met and is in the process of validating the 7,774 requirement,” Johnson-Miles said. “The community is committed to getting MRAPs as fast as possible.”

du bist schon der Oberhammer. Grundsätzlich hast du natürlich recht, die Kleinanleger sind immer die Dummen, aber gilt das jetzt deiner Meinung nach nur für Force? Immerhin sind die an der Nasdaq, was zwar nicht viel heißt, aber zumindest besser als OTC.
Aber du warst doch auch mal im Biophan Thread und hast dort genauso sinnloses Zeug, wie du hier im negativen Sinn zu Force abgibst, dort im positiv Sinn von dir gelassen. Beides mal ohne nachvollziehbare Begründung, oder warst du bei Biophan nicht der Spielball von Profis gegen die du nicht den Hauch einer Chance hattest? Was übrigens für die gesamte Börsenwelt gilt.
Mir scheint es, dir macht es einfach nur Spaß gegen die Mehrheit Partei zu beziehen, ohne auch nur den Hauch einer Ahnung zu haben wovon du eigentlich redest.
Ich bin hier auch nicht nur der Optimist, aber wenn ich irgenwo Zweifel habe, dann versuche ich das wenigstens zu begründen was dir fremd zu sein scheint.

Übrigens, wenn ich am Bahnhof stehe und der Zug endlich kommt bin ich froh, und wenn er schon nicht anhält, dann sollte er wenigstens langsam genug sein um noch aufspringen zu können. Der Frpt-Zug war aber auch schon mal in einem Tempo unterwegs, da kam kaum einer mehr zum "Zug". Im Moment gehts ja und ob er wieder das Tempo erhöht oder eher Rückwärts aufs Abstellgleis fährt wird man sehen, ich denke aber die Chance im Vorwärtsgang zu bleiben ist erheblich größer.

Marines Skirt Procurement Maze to Rush Tougher Trucks to Iraq
By Edmond Lococo

May 4 (Bloomberg) -- A suicide car-bomber pulled alongside a U.S. Marine Corps Buffalo mine-clearing truck in Iraq and detonated. Inside, Gunnery Sergeant Anthony Lindsey felt a bump.

``We got a flat tire and that was about it,'' Lindsey, 27, says of the 2006 blast near Habbaniyah. ``Those vehicles, outside of maybe a tank, are the safest things in Iraq.''

The Buffalo, an off-the-shelf Marines purchase, is an exception: Most armored trucks in Iraq can't withstand the latest enhanced homemade bombs. So the Marines are quickly buying more blast-resistant vehicles, rewriting Pentagon procurement practices as they go.

Instead of handing prototype awards to one or two contractors, the Marines signed deals with nine. Within 19 days, two companies with test vehicles won early-production contracts, including the Buffalo's builder, Force Protection Inc. A week later, three more got the go-ahead. The U.S. plans to spend $8.4 billion over two years for as many as 7,700 trucks. That's $1 million apiece, including electronics gear and services costs.

``It's unprecedented,'' Captain Jeffrey Landis, a Marine Corps spokesman, says of the purchasing push.

The Marines' effort is taking on urgency as the death toll of American soldiers in Iraq rises. Homemade bombs accounted for 57 percent of 2,698 U.S. combat deaths through April 21, according to the Defense Department. The attacks also led to 59 percent of the 24,912 combat injuries.

Compromises

To offer better protection with advanced trucks, the Marines will make some compromises. Conceding the battle for cost-efficiency by paying $1 million a vehicle is only one. The new trucks, for example, are being produced only for immediate use in Iraq and Afghanistan and won't serve longer-term needs.

The Cougar, the smallest of the three classes of trucks built by Ladson, South Carolina-based Force Protection, weighs 19 tons, or more than three times that of armored Humvees used in Iraq. That's too heavy to carry on amphibious ships or by helicopter, the Marine Corps deputy commandant, Lieutenant General Emerson Gardner, told Congress in February. They must be hauled by ocean freighters or transport planes.

In addition, multiple truck types at the front will lead to higher maintenance costs, says Jim Tinsley, an analyst at the Avascent Group, a Washington-based aerospace and defense consulting firm.

``You are not going to have any standardization of parts for repair,'' Tinsley says.

For some critics, though, the issue is still one of speed.

`Been So Slow'

``I'm encouraged to hear that the Marines will be ordering better-protected vehicles, but I continue to be outraged that the Pentagon has been so slow to respond to this obvious urgent need,'' Senator Edward Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, said in an e-mail.

Among those who have briefed Kennedy is Brian Hart, founder of Black-I Robotics in Tyngsboro, Massachusetts, which develops bomb-disposal robots. He quit as a drug industry executive in 2004 to push Congress for safer vehicles and more body armor for troops after his son, Private First Class John Hart of the 173rd Airborne Brigade, was shot to death at age 20 in an unarmored Humvee in Taza, Iraq, in 2003.

``The problem I see is the attrition rate on vehicles is getting way up there,'' Hart says. ``The attrition rate is far in excess of the production rates.''

The U.S. went to war in Iraq in 2003 with unarmored Humvee trucks designed for non-combat transport. As casualties of roadside bombings mounted, the uproar that followed from parents of soldiers and from members of Congress pushed the military to equip vehicles with armor.

V-Shaped Hull

After insurgents began taking out armored trucks with more powerful bombs made from new combinations of artillery shells, the Marines started testing super-armored vehicles that Force Protection created without a Pentagon contract.

The Cougar and the Buffalo offered a new design. Their V- shaped hulls deflect explosive forces away from the underside of the truck rather than absorbing the blast along a flat bottom.

About 200 of the trucks have been sent to Iraq and Afghanistan since 2003. Vehicles such as the Buffalo -- at 13 feet (four meters) high and almost 22 tons -- have withstood more than 2,000 attacks with mines and improvised explosives.

``They are not a traditional government contractor,'' says Force Protection investor Don Cochran, 47, who says he holds about 160,000 shares. ``They raised their own capital and took their own risk to build Cougar and Buffalo with the intent if they built a good vehicle, the government would be a buyer.''

Four Times Safer

A Marine in a blast-protected vehicle is four times safer than in a Humvee, says the Marine Corps commandant, General James Conway. The Humvee's maker, AM General LLC, declined to comment.

The base price of Force Protection's two smaller trucks ranges from $510,000 to $570,000, compared with about $167,000 for the M1151 armored Humvee.

The Marines' truck push, involving the rapid awarding of contracts to multiple builders, is unique. Each of the three main vehicles currently used in Iraq are built by a single supplier: the Humvee by South Bend, Indiana-based AM General, which is closely held; the Stryker troop-transport by General Dynamics Corp. and the Bradley Fighting Vehicle by BAE Systems Plc.

The Humvee took more than five years to develop, from the time the Army issued specifications in 1979 until delivery of the first full-rate production models in 1985.

`It Takes Decades'

``It takes decades to get certain major weapons systems fielded,'' says Eric Hugel, a New York-based analyst with Stephens Inc., who rates General Dynamics shares ``equal weight'' and doesn't own any. ``Normally, it's not realistic to expect to get a new weapon in any quantity in any short timeframe.''

In the case of blast-resistant vehicles, the Marines' limited off-the-shelf purchases have shifted into a larger-scale Defense Department buying program, and the surge in demand is benefiting makers. Force Protection shares have jumped 10-fold in the past year to $23.81 yesterday as the company gained more orders than larger rivals, including London-based BAE and Falls Church, Virginia-based General Dynamics, the biggest U.S. armored-vehicle maker.

General Dynamics' 2006 sales of $24.1 billion dwarf Force Protection's revenue of $196 million. The Standard & Poor's 500 Aerospace and Defense Index gained 15 percent in the past 12 months.

In January, the Pentagon awarded nine companies a total of $34.6 million to deliver 36 test vehicles. So far, eight have delivered trucks and the ninth is on the way, Marine Corps spokesman Bill Johnson-Miles says.

Early Production Awards

Already, five of those companies have received early production awards totaling $683 million to build about 1,390 trucks. Force Protection has the largest share with $548 million, while BAE won $55.4 million. Other initial-production orders went to General Dynamics; Oshkosh Truck Corp. in Oshkosh, Wisconsin; and North Charleston, South Carolina-based Protected Vehicles Inc.

The other truck builders, which still can win production contracts once their test vehicles are tested, are Textron Inc. in Providence, Rhode Island; Armor Holdings Inc. in Jacksonville, Florida; General Purpose Vehicles LLC in New Haven, Michigan; and International Military and Government LLC in Warrenville, Illinois, a unit of Navistar International Corp.

``We are going to go on the max production rate if we find them successful,'' the Marines' General Conway says.

Delayed Funding Bill

The first round of purchases will come from about $800 million in already appropriated funds, says Johnson-Miles. Another $3 billion for the next round is contained in a war supplemental funding bill before Congress, he says.

``We cannot place orders without having funds on hand,'' Johnson-Miles says. ``There is still time to get funding before we are ready to place some more orders. It's not holding us up yet.''

Passage of the supplemental bill may be delayed as the White House and Congress, now controlled by Democrats, negotiate a compromise on the funding measure. President George W. Bush vetoed an initial measure this week because it sets timetables for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.

To boost truck production rates, the smallest companies receiving awards are teaming with larger rivals. Force Protection formed a joint venture with General Dynamics in November to make more of the Cougars and signed up Armor Holdings as a subcontractor.

Leveraging Partners

On its own, Force Protection has a production capacity of about 140 vehicles a month and can produce more than 400 a month with partners, says Vice President Michael Aldrich.

Protected Vehicles, set up in 2005, has linked with Oshkosh on two blast-resistant truck models, says Kent Martin, 34, a Protected Vehicles director. The companies are producing the Golan, a four-wheeled 18-ton truck built with Rafael Armament Development Authority Ltd. of Israel, and the Alpha, a four- wheeled 13-to-14-ton vehicle that seats eight.

For Gunnery Sergeant Lindsey, the car-bomb in Habbaniyah was one of five he survived without injury while in blast- resistant trucks from November 2005 through March 2006.

The native of Augusta, Georgia, has spent the past year recovering from second- and third-degree burns over 60 percent of his face received in Iraq when he wasn't in one of the trucks.

He was wounded when a device hidden under a disarmed explosive detonated as his team removed road explosives on foot in Habbaniyah, about 15 miles (24 kilometers) west of Baghdad.

He is preparing to return from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, to Iraq for his second tour. He says he's certain the trucks saved his life.

``I was never hurt in Iraq until I had to step out of one of these vehicles,'' Lindsey says.

Soldier shares Iraqi experiences with class

Ryan Lawrence with his adopted class at Rector Elementary
By RYAN ROGERS, Democrat News Staff
Specialist Ryan Lawrence of the 875th Engineering Battalion is currently back in Rector on leave. Lawrence returned home April 23 and will be here until May 8.

While in Rector, Lawrence visited with Leisa Wesley’s fifth grade class. The class has been writing Lawrence as well as sending him packages as part of their adopted soldier project.

“It was a lot of fun talking to the kids,” Lawrence said. “They had a lot of questions for me. We talked about life in general over there. They seemed pretty excited.”

Lawrence said many of the questions involved his job in Iraq. As part of the 875th, Lawrence works alongside other soldiers in route clearance. The battalion’s main duty is to make certain roadways and paths are cleared of debris and free of roadside bombs and IEDs (improvised explosive devices).

Lawrence operates the arm on a Buffalo armored mine-detecting vehicle. The six-wheeled Buffalo is fitted with an articulated arm which is ordnance disposal. The arm allows for the safe removal of mines and bombs.

Though he sees other soldiers from Rector and the surrounding areas at the chow hall and on down time, Lawrence mainly works with soldiers from Vermont and Indiana.

“The guys I work with are good people,” Lawrence said. “We all know we’re there to do our job. We work together to do the best job we can. That type of environment brings us all together. It’s kind of a group mentality. Everyone looks out for each other.”

In his free time, Lawrence says he likes to keep busy. He has been watching movies, working out and writing letters home.

“Keeping in touch with family and friends makes it a lot easier to be over there,” Lawrence said. “We can write and send emails. It’s a lot different than the old movies where you’d see a guy get a letter every other month. It’s much more efficient now.”

In fact, Lawrence says community contact is one of a soldier’s favorite things while serving.

“I want to thank everyone for their support. I’ve received letters, cards and packages from businesses, churches, classes and individuals. It means a lot. All the guys are really appreciative for all the letters and packages. It makes you feel good about yourself to know so many people care about you.”

Lawrence has noticed his time in Iraq has had an effect on some of the things which were second nature.

“Driving is really different. That’s taking some getting used to. We drive very slow over there. One of my first days back, I was in a buddy’s truck. He was driving the speed limit, but 55 seemed very fast. It seemed like we were flying.”

Lawrence says his time in Iraq has further strengthened his view of America.

“After being over there, it makes you realize we do have a great country. We shouldn’t take it for granted. No matter what, there are people out there who are far less fortunate than us.”

Force Protection gets $8.9M Navy deal
WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. Navy said Friday it awarded an $8.9 million contract to Force Protection (Nachrichten) Industries Inc. to build two kinds of armored vehicles for the Canadian government.

Under the pact granted May 3, the Ladson, S.C.-based company will build five medium mine-protected vehicles, known as Cougars, and five additional armored vehicles. The company will also provide training.

The company will perform the work in Ladson through May 2008.

Shares of Force Protection rose 12 cents to $23.22 in extended trading, after shares fell 71 cents, or 2.9 percent, to close at $23.10.

Britain's BAE Is Set to Acquire Armor Holdings

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB117850658128194178.html?mod=…

Britain's BAE Is Set to Acquire
Armor Holdings
By DENNIS K. BERMAN and JONATHAN KARP
May 7, 2007; Page A3

British defense contractor BAE Systems PLC was last night in final negotiations for the $3.5 billion purchase of Armor Holdings Inc., a U.S. maker of military and heavy vehicles, Humvee armaments and soldier body armor.

Final preparations were being made last night, and it was still possible the transaction could fall apart, people familiar with the transaction said yesterday. The deal would award Armor shareholders about $88 a share, or a roughly 7% premium to the company's trading price Friday of $82.15 a share on the New York Stock Exchange. Armor shares climbed markedly late last week from its Wednesday closing price of $72.08 a share.

A BAE spokesman declined to comment. An Armor spokesman didn't have a comment.

The Jacksonville, Fla., company has steadily built its business via acquisition, most recently in the $1 billion-plus deal for truck maker Stewart & Stevenson Services Inc. It is in a wide range of other businesses, from helicopter ejector seats and riot helmets to rubber bullets and smoke grenades. Last year Armor reported net income of $134.6 million on revenue of $2.36 billion.

The war in Iraq has been a boon to contractors like Armor, whose special armor lines the Humvee vehicles so prevalent in the conflict. Armor's shares traded at just under $10 when the U.S. invaded Iraq in March 2003. Even then, the company remains a relatively small player in the global defense business, which continues a steady path toward consolidation.

For BAE, the purchase would bolster two strategies: expanding in the U.S. and deepening its involvement in military ground vehicles. Armor Holdings would be BAE's first major acquisition since selling its 20% stake in European airplane maker Airbus in order to focus on the U.S. defense market. BAE has a market capitalization of nearly $29 billion.

A deal would also be consistent with the 2005 purchase of United Defense Industries, maker of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle and other heavy tracked vehicles, a deal that gave BAE a major role in the Army's multibillion-dollar program to modernize ground forces.

These days, BAE is angling for lighter, wheeled military vehicles as the competitions heat up to supply the Marines with mine-resistant troop carriers and the Army prepares to replace tens of thousands of Humvees. The purchase of Armor Holdings could strengthen BAE position for both markets. (Investors are eagerly awaiting results of the competition. See related article.)

Already BAE and Armor are among nine companies contracted by the Marines to build demonstration models of mine-resistant vehicles. Because of the urgency for such a product in Iraq, this high-priority program could generate nearly 8,000 vehicles and $8.4 billion in sales over the next two years. In addition, Armor has an agreement with Force Protection Inc. to help the small South Carolina company increase production of its sought-after mine-resistant vehicles.

Defense contractors have been forming alliances ahead of the Army's eventual replacement of Humvees. Armor has teamed with aviation titan Lockheed Martin Corp., which is seeking to expand into ground vehicles. It is unclear how a BAE purchase of Armor would affect that teaming agreement.

A BAE acquisition of Armor Holdings could accelerate consolidation of other ground-vehicle makers. General Dynamics Corp., which makes the Abrams tank and Stryker troop carrier, is interested in moving into lighter vehicles. It has a joint venture with Force Protection, which investors say is interested in being acquired. Another big player is Humvee maker AM General LLC, which is closely held.

"It has a joint venture with Force Protection, which investors say is interested in being acquired."


Na das ist ja mal interessant das Force Protection daran interessiert ist "being aquired" zu werden, na das dürfte die Übernahmespekulationen jetzt aber ordentlich anheizen.
Wenn Force angeblich schon daran interessiert ist dann wird sich ein Bigplayer wohl nicht dreimal bitten lassen, da geht bestimmt was in den nächsten wochen.
Da bin ich dann aber mal gespannt zu welchem Preis das ganze dann über die Bühne geht, ich hoffe nicht unter 50 $ pps.

Meinung zu Übernahmen aus InvestorVillage:

Mergers And Acquisitions---FRPT, AH, BAE, Lockheed
Mergers and acquisitions have always been at the very heart of business enterprise. Love them or hate them, they will continue to dominate the news headlines for many years to come---especially in the defense industry. There really is no other way to grow the bottom line faster and avoid many of the growing pains that come with the introduction of new products.

We are all aware that very few, if any, companies bring to the table what Force Protection does in its industry. Just think about it for a moment. In less than 2 years, Force Protection has become a juggernaut defense contractor capable of doing excess of $1 billion in sales. And they are on track to be able to DOUBLE, maybe even TRIPLE that sales amount in 2 years or less! Please name for me one company in the same industry that is NOT familiar with the story. Trust me, you can't. Everybody is aware of what is going on.

With each passing week, more and more institutions are "discovering" Force Protection. Consequently, the race to acquire or merge with Force Protection gains more and more momentum. Why? It's pretty simple: When was the best time to invest in Microsoft? Before or after every institution put them on their buy list?

So, imagine you are Lockheed and you want a serious presence in the mine-protected vehicle business sector as well as the JLTV arena. Can you please outline for me what your options are right now? And what happens the longer you wait to see who does what and when? That's right---the likelihood that your competition will make a bid on your target increases. And when there is competition for a coveted prize, the price tag goes up.

Nobody WANTS to pay more than they have to for anything. BUT in the case of Force Protection and possible suitors, I have no doubts that the bidding war will be significant. Why? Well, what's the downside of buying Force Protection? Yes, it is possible that the world will live in love and harmony beginning next week but it's not likely. In case you haven't noticed, the world is in more commotion now than it was last week and a week from now it will be worse off than it is right now. So there is minimal downside to making a run for Force Protection. You might overpay today, but when you acquire a company TODAY, you look at its value TOMORROW. Today's price hardly matters.

In the case of Lockheed (which is my bet as FRPT Suitor numero uno), I think that they are already crunching numbers on the deal. Fortunately, the people at the helm of Force Protection KNOW the cold hard facts: they have the best product and can produce it FASTER than anybody else. Never mind that they are outsourcing some of the production. That just gives them more leverage.

Don't be surprised by two things that are very likely to happen before you and yours cook up some burgers and dogs on July 4th and count your blessings.

1) Lockheed makes a bid to buy Force Protection at about $38 per share
2) Force Protection stocks passes the $36 mark.

I can't identify any compelling argument AGAINST either case---especially since the Cheetah is on deck and the other "pretenders" (not to be confused with "contenders") have zero leverage on their side.

Be Right and Sit Tight. It's going to get quite bumpy over the next 90 days.

Spartan Chassis Receives $107.6 Million in New Orders in Military Vehicles
Last update: 5/10/2007 7:42:00 AM
CHARLOTTE, Mich., May 10, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Spartan Chassis, Inc., a subsidiary of Spartan Motors, Inc. (SPAR), today announced it has received subcontract orders from two major defense manufacturers totaling $107.6 million -- its two largest specialty-vehicle orders to date.
Spartan Chassis said it has received a $60.0 million order from General Dynamics Land Systems and a $47.6 million order from Force Protection, Inc. Spartan Chassis will supply and integrate key chassis components in the production of advanced tactical vehicles under the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected, or MRAP, program.
Both orders are scheduled to be completed in 2007 and are slated for use by U.S. Marines and soldiers fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. MRAPs are prized by the military for their V-shaped hulls, raised chassis and improved armor, which help protect servicemen and women from improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, mines and other hazards of war.
"This new business is significant in both its magnitude and its validation of our expertise in automotive integration," said Richard Schalter, president of Spartan Chassis. "Over the past two years, we have earned a reputation in the military market by repeatedly demonstrating that we have the ability to deliver quality products on time. Spartan Chassis is privileged to be in service to support our nation's defense."
In April 2007, Spartan Chassis announced that it had acquired two facilities that will be converted to manufacturing plants to meet the strong growth of its specialty-vehicle product line. The new plants will add a total of 80,000 square feet to Spartan Chassis and will come on line during the third quarter of this year.
"These two new contracts validate the investments we have made in growing our specialty-vehicle segment and the confidence that our customers, along with our shareholders and our board of directors, have in Spartan Chassis," said John Sztykiel, president and CEO of Spartan Motors. "This contract underscores the strength of our strategic plan, which focuses on the emergency rescue, recreational vehicle and specialty markets."
About Spartan Chassis, Inc.
Spartan Chassis, Inc., a subsidiary of Spartan Motors, Inc. (SPAR), is a leading developer and manufacturer of custom chassis for recreational vehicles, fire trucks and specialty vehicles. Spartan Motors, which also manufactures emergency rescue vehicles under the brand names of Crimson Fire, Crimson Fire Aerials and Road Rescue, reported sales of $445 million in 2006 and is focused on becoming the premier manufacturer of specialty vehicles and chassis in North America.

These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that ultimately may not prove to be accurate. Actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Technical complications may arise that could prevent the prompt implementation of the plans outlined above. The company cautions that these forward-looking statements are further qualified by other factors including, but not limited to, those set forth in the company's Form 10-K filing and other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (available at ). Government contracts and subcontracts typically involve long payment and purchase cycles, competitive bidding, qualification requirements, delays or changes in funding, extensive specification development and changes, price negotiations and milestone requirements. An announced award of a governmental contract is not equivalent to a finalized executed contract and does not assure that orders will be issued and filled. Government agencies also often retain some portion of fees payable upon completion of a project and collection of contract fees may be delayed for long periods, which can negatively impact both prime contractors and subcontractors. The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any statements in this release, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

The trucks, known as Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles, are said to be four times more effective in withstanding explosives than the armored Hummers troops now use. The Army and Navy are to report to Gates by May 11 the steps they will take to speed purchases, include revising procurement laws.

Wer kennt schon alle Ursachen einen stärkeren Kurs-Anstiegs...

coolrunning,

1. 17.000 humvees sollen ersetzt werden
2. anstehende einigung zwischen reps und dems bez. mrap finanzierung
3. Q- ergebnisse stehen spätestens kommende wochen an (blockbuster)
4. FRPT bekommt endlich die verdiente aufmerksamkeit der medien
5. wallstreet schnallt, dass es nicht die gorillas sind, die den reibach machen werden sondern ein zwerg aus carolina.

sextens (ja, das ist sexy):

die sackratte cramer, der pumper, hedgie, die gallionsfigur des amerikanischen durchschnittsinvestors mit seiner money show und seinem bekloppten gehabe...der, dessen melissa-schreibertante uns in 6 artikeln bashte (auf www.thestreet.com) und uns jedesmal einen dollar kostete, ja, dieser jimmy cramer sammelte (weil er zu spät auf frpt aufmerksam wurde) reichlich stücke mit seinem fonds ein, während die armada der shorts und basher auf uns einhämmerte.

jetzt hat er den sack voll und schrieb heute nachmittag einen kommentar, wie geil doch frpt sei. aber es kam noch besser: hete abend live in seiner money-tv show schrie er heraus, dass frpt und spar die stocks des jahres werden und die shorts keine chance haben und er brüllte kaufen, kaufen kaufen.
er nannte als beispiel ceradyne, die trotz shorts und schon heissgelaufen um 200% zugelegt hätten.

damit hat er dem durchschnittsinvestor amerikas heute abend nach börsenschluss mitgeteilt, dass frpt gut ist für 200% auf den aktuellen kurs und morgen wird die stampede losgehen. denn wenn shorts eines hassen, ist es ein cramer der KAUFEN schreit.

nachteil an cramer: seine stocks performen wie sau, oft übertrieben in astronomische bereiche, wo er dann natürlich über seine strohleute verkauft und dann urplötzlich VERKAUFEN, DIE SHOW IST VORBEI brüllt. dann gibt es in der regel einen kräftigen dip, es sei denn, die guten news reissen nicht ab.

ich werde, da zu 95% in frpt mit mittlerweile richtig knete, ab 32/33 laaaangsam ca. 50% abliessen lassen, selbst wenn wir auf 50.60. 70 gehen. das aber nur, weil ich wirklich viele, viele aktien habe und mir langsam die düse geht nach 1400%.

ich bin trotzdem überzeugt, dass wir vor jahresende entweder bei 60-70 stehen, der laden bei 50 ausverkauft wird durch GD oder wir nach einem 1 zu 3 split auf 100 laufen.

schönen freitag morgen, die cramer-meute wird kaufen. mals sehen, ob die shorts sich wehren.

ach so. muhsin....vielen dank nochmal, die kids haben sich riesig gefreut über dein geschenk!!

@BR101,

und wo investieren wir dann?

das ist eine gute frage. wenn man (das ist jetzt nur ein beispiel...) 500.000 euro investieren will, dann geht das nicht mehr in einem pennystock, da die eigenen käufe den kurs schon wie doof treiben würden, es sei denn, man verteilt seine käufe auf wochen oder monate.

also bin ich derzeit auf der suche nach einer aktie, die mindestens kurse von 3-5 dollar hat, unter volumen handelt und natürlich perspektive. da ich nie mehr als 3 werte im depot habe (ich kann sonst nicht wirklich täglich ausreichend DD machen)gibt es also keine "probier-ich-mal" investments sondern nur long-investments. von so schnellschüssen wie DNDN mal abgesehen. DNDN beobachte ich übrigens eng, denn nachdem die fda die zulassung versagte, können die shorts jetzt covern und der gebeutelte retail wird verkaufen. mir ist noch nicht klar, wohin dort die reise geht und welche informationen wirklich von der fda verlangt werden. sobald das klar ist und ein zeitlicher rahmen für den nächsten anlauf zur zulassung erkennbar ist, könnte das wieder ein kauf sein. DNDN stand bei 23 vor der fda zulassung und wäre locker auf 40-50 gegangen, wenn diese erfolgt wäre. alleine diese tatsache rechtfertigt eine weitere beobachtung.

IOTN steht seit geraumer zeit auf meiner watch, mit einem sehr interessanten produkt, dass möglicherweise bald als prototyp auf cougars zu sehen sein wird. aber noch zuckt der buy-finger nur sehr verhalten.

ansonsten lese ich viel im umfeld kommender megatrends, ei sehr spannendes thema (einfach mal googeln)...dazu gehören solar, ökologie, gesundheit (wegen wachsender lebenserwartung),digitales leben und natürlich die wachsende globale sicherheitsbedrohung.

da und dort formen sich firmen, die anders denken und produkte sowie dienstleistungen anbieten, die für uns komplett neu sind oder die wir nur aus science fiction filmen kennen.

und ionatron (iotn) könnte da mit einem sehr interessanten produkt kommen. das sind energiewaffen, die in einem plasma kanal elektrische ladungen zielgenau und mit lichtgeschwindigkeit verschiessen, sowohl betäubend als auch letal. ein prototyp hat erfolgreich IED bomben auf satte entfernung zur explosion gebracht. starwars lässt grüssen.

das ist aber keine kaufempfehlung, jedenfalls momentan noch nicht.

Notes from TW report - EPS, Market share and Valuation

We are also raising our 2008 revenue and EPS estimates from $1.3bn and $1.30 to $1.7bn and

$1.65, respectively. This is based on Cougar production of 2,190 vehicles, up from our prior

estimate of 1,530. Our Buffalo (99 vehicles) and Cheetah (800 vehicles) production estimates are
unchanged.


MRAP market share: Our new estimates are based on the Force Protection/General

Dynamics joint venture producing approximately 5,900 MRAP Cougar vehicles in 2007 and

2008. Based on the expectation that the Army will up its MRAP procurement from 2,500 to

9,000 in that two year time frame (the final 8,700 would be procured in 2009), this implies a
41% market share for the Cougar (9,000 Army + 3,700 Marine Corps + 1,574 other).


VALUATION

FRPT trades at 16.2x 2008E P/E, a discount to defense suppliers peer group peers at 17.9x.

We are comfortable with a 20–22x earnings multiple for a current fair value of $33–
36 per share.
Looks good to me......

gute frage. ich habe damals bei -so glaube ich- 8-14 cent empfohlen und den thread eröffnet. bin mit rund 450% plus aus der aktie raus und habe seitdem so gut wie keine ernsthafte DD gemacht, immer nur mal schnell geschaut.
mein eindruck derzeit: ich kann mir nicht erklären, warum die aktie nicht besser performt. es haben bedeutende unternehmen lizenzen erworben, was gut ist. allerdings ist PTSC nicht grad´transparent, was die höhe der lizenzen angeht. das muss man jedesmal warten, bis die Q ergebnisse kommen. und es fehlt die (vielleicht vorhandene aber nicht artikulierte)zukunftsperspektive. ich würde gerne etwas über geplante aktivitäten, unternehmenszukäufe etc hören, denn alles andere bedeutete, dass man cash nur verwaltet und in form von renditen und gehältern ausschüttet. und da an der börse zukunft gehandelt wird, fehlt mir diese komponente. ist das web.de syndrom. die hatten vor einigen jahren auch cash satt auf der bank undkeine sau interessierte es, da die zukunftspläne und entwicklungen nicht transparent waren.

MRAP-Programm jetzt schon mindestens 16 Mrd. $

May 11, 2007 -- The Army today advised Defense Secretary Robert Gates that it plans to more than triple the number of Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles the service will buy, setting a new procurement target of more than 8,000 vehicles -- a move that will effectively double the size of the Pentagon's overall MRAP fleet and boost the program's price tag to at least $16 billion.





In response to requests from commanders in Iraq and senior Pentagon leaders, the Army is revising its requirement for MRAP -- a vehicle that offers better protection against roadside bombs than armored humvees -- increasing its stated need for 2,500 vehicles by tacking on an additional roughly 6,000 vehicles, according to senior Pentagon officials.





The revised procurement goal -- which would be accomplished by the end of fiscal year 2008 -- is shy of the 17,700 MRAP vehicles that commanders in Iraq recently requested in order to replace every humvee used by soldiers outside a fortified base with one of the new armored vehicles.





By signing up for approximately 8,000 MRAPs, the Army seeks the flexibility to walk away from the program if U.S. military forces begin to withdraw from Iraq in the near term, according to sources familiar with service thinking.





In addition, the Army is wary of a massive investment in a tactical wheeled vehicle fleet that could erode funding and political support for its objective humvee replacement program, the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle.





The Joint Requirements Oversight Council, which only last week ratified the total MRAP requirement of 7,774 vehicles, must now convene again to formally endorse the revised Army requirement.





The Marine Corps plans to procure 3,700 vehicles, enough to replace its current fleet of humvees for all personnel operating outside fortified bases in western Iraq. The Navy's requirement is for 544 vehicles, the Air Force requires 697 MRAPs and U.S. Special Forces Command wants 333 of the new armored vehicles.





The Marine Corps is spearheading the MRAP procurement effort and to date has placed orders for 1,639 vehicles, 90 of which have been delivered to Iraq, according to a senior Pentagon official.





Eight companies are vying to build this new armored vehicle fleet. The Army and Marine Corps are testing prototype vehicles at Aberdeen Test Center in Maryland through early next month, after which additional rounds of major production contracts are expected to be issued. -- Jason Sherman

Casey also said the Army is near a decision on how many mine-resistant armored vehicles to buy to replace the more vulnerable Humvees. The number is "somewhere between 2,500 and 17,000."

The Army wants more of the so-called MRAPs (Mine Resistant, Ambush Protected), but acknowledges there are missions for which the vehicle is not suitable or as agile as needed. .......

Army to request 17,000 MRAPs

By Gina Cavallaro - Staff writer
Posted : Saturday May 12, 2007 8:18:27 EDT

Acting Army Secretary Pete Geren confirmed today that the Army is set to substantially increase the number of Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles it had planned to buy, replacing within two years the 17,700 Humvees now in Iraq.

“The earlier plan was 2,500, and that’s not enough. I can’t tell you the exact number at this point, but it’s going to grow considerably,” Geren said, indicating that the Army is working to adjust its budget and to determine industry’s capacity to produce more MRAPs.

The plan to buy more MRAPs, he said, will not mean an end to the development, production and fielding of the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle, which the Army was considering as a replacement for the Humvee, using the MRAP as an interim replacement.

Now, according to a Pentagon source, the plan has changed and more than 9,000 MRAPs will be procured for fiscal year 2008 and 8,700 more for fiscal 2009.

“By September 2009, every single Humvee in theater will be replaced with the MRAP,” said the source, who spoke to Army Times on condition of anonymity.

The Marine Corps already has more than 100 MRAPs on the ground in Iraq, and the Army will field the first of its 2,500 MRAPs in Iraq beginning in August, 700 of which are already in hand, Geren said.

The MRAP program has moved quickly and is a joint procurement effort between the Army and Marine Corps.

There are eight manufacturers who could deliver variations of the vehicle, which has a v-shaped hull to disperse blasts that occur under the roadways and are expected to be more resistant to side-blasts.

“This is the next evolution of vehicles that is responding to the underbelly attacks that sometimes take place. A natural progression of lighter, more effective, more resistant armor both personal and vehicle,” Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said yesterday.

The request for the newer vehicles was made by commanding general of Multi-National Corps-Iraq, Lt. Gen. Raymond Odierno, the source said.

“Odierno has asked to replace every Humvee in Iraq with the MRAP,” the source said.

A spokeswoman for Odierno in Iraq said she was unaware of the commander’s request.

The Humvee has been on the ground in Iraq since the beginning of operations in 2003 and has undergone several armor upgrades. But the extra armor weighed down the vehicle beyond its capabilities and has failed to effectively shield soldiers from the force of roadside bombs.

In a May 2 internal letter to top Pentagon officials, Defense Secretary Robert Gates called upon service leaders to make acquisition of the MRAP their “highest priority.”

“The MRAP should be considered the highest priority Department of Defense acquisition program,” the letter said, calling for the immediate application of “any and all options to accelerate the production and fielding of this capability.”

“I would like to know what funding, material, program, legal or other limits currently constrains the program and options available to overcome them,” Gates wrote.

Members of Congress have grilled Army leaders on why more MRAPs were not being ordered sooner. In the House of Representatives air-land subcommittee’s 2008 budget markup, $4.1 billion was allocated for MRAPs.

Gates’ letter also ponders why the Army and Marine Corps seem to have different plans for the MRAP.

“I am also concerned with the wide variance in approach on the use of this capability between the Marine Corps and the Army,” Gates wrote.

Armored-Vehicle Builders
Compete for Bigger Payday
By GREG JAFFE, JONATHAN KARP and REBECCA CHRISTIE
May 14, 2007; Page A3
As demand soars for more heavily armored vehicles in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Army is pushing to turn a crowded multibillion-dollar competition for the next generation of troop transports into something closer to a winner-take-all event, a senior Army official said.

The shift, if made, would make it more likely that one or two companies would grab the lion's share of a much bigger payday.

NEW ARMOR


• What's New: The Pentagon plans to buy far more of a new armored vehicle that is headed for Iraq.

• What's at Stake: A multibillion-dollar contract to build as many as 17,700 vehicles during the next few years.

• What's Next: The Pentagon must decide how many kinds of vehicles it wants to buy and how many contractors it wants to build them, offering a select few defense contractors a big windfall.

Until recently the Army and Marines planned to buy only about 7,700 Mine-Resistant, Ambush Protected vehicles, which are better able to withstand blasts from roadside bombs than the current armored Humvees, for about $8.4 billion. The continuing death toll from roadside bombs in Iraq, however, led U.S. Central Command to say that it now needs as many as 17,700 vehicles -- enough to ensure that every soldier who leaves the base in Iraq is riding in one of them.

So far, nine companies have been selected to each build four test vehicles. The Marine Corps, which is overseeing the program, had planned to choose multiple winners from the various test vehicles submitted. Army and Marine Corps officials were meeting last week to decide how to address the growing demand for the vehicles in Iraq in the quickest and most efficient way, Pentagon officials said.

Now that the Pentagon is planning on buying many more of the vehicles, Army officials say they would like to see one primary design. That would make the vehicle much easier to maintain, a big plus in Iraq where troops are scattered among many outposts.

"If you have four different vehicles, that means you have to have four different logistics systems to provide parts. You have to train soldiers how to fight from four different vehicles. It becomes very expensive and complex," the senior Army official said.

Wie recht er doch hat, spricht alles für FRPT


Some industry officials, however, play down the differences among the vehicles, saying the various moving parts most prone to failure are similar across the various vehicle designs. So do Marine Corps program managers.

The Army, likely to buy the largest number of the new vehicles, hasn't said what its plans are. It had planned to buy about 2,500 of them. But officials say they are now almost certain to buy substantially more. Defense Secretary Robert Gates is a driving force behind the shift. "My concern is that the rate of production is nowhere near what it needs to be," he said last week.

One big question is how quickly industry can produce the V-shaped vehicle bodies that better deflect bomb blasts. The urgency for such vehicles is so great that within weeks of awarding the small demonstrator-model contracts to nine companies in January, the Pentagon ordered more vehicles from five of them.

The surge in demand has forced the smaller players, such as Force Protection Inc., to team up with major vehicle producers to increase production. In partnership with General Dynamics Corp., Force Protection recently won a contract worth nearly $500 million to build 1,000 MRAP vehicles. The Ladson, S.C., company, which is also under contract to build 80 bigger MRAP vehicles on its own, made just 300 vehicles last year.

But Mike Aldrich, vice president of business development and government relations, said the Force Protection-General Dynamics joint venture could produce more than 10,000 MRAP vehicles by the end of 2008. "What's holding us back is a substantial order," he said.

Ja wann kommt er denn, der große Auftrag??:D

General Dynamics, better known for its Stryker troop carriers and Abrams tanks, also is competing separately for MRAP vehicles. Another big player is BAE Systems PLC, which last week agreed to buy rival Armor Holdings Inc. to bolster its bid for the MRAP competition and the eventual race to build a successor to the Humvee. Oshkosh Truck Corp. has also entered the fray. The remaining contenders are smaller companies, highlighting the challenge facing the Pentagon in that the nation's industrial base for such vehicles is small and fragmented. One heavy-hitter that has already been ruled out for further MRAP orders is Textron Inc., according to the company.

The Pentagon had been seeking three sizes of MRAP vehicle. Force Protection, whose models already are deployed in Iraq, is competing for all three classes with models ranging from about $500,000 to $850,000 per vehicle.

The MRAP vehicles are larger and more expensive than the current generation of armored Humvees. Initially the MRAP was seen as an interim solution until a replacement for the Humvee could was built in the 2012 timeframe. "It could be that this program is morphing into the replacement for the Humvee," says Loren Thompson, a defense analyst with the Lexington Institute, a Washington think tank.

Dir scheinen ja schnelle 3000% mit folgendem Absturz lieber zu sein, als ein langsamer über lange Zeit in den selben Bereich ohne Absturz hinterher. So habe ich deine Äußerung zu Biph jedenfalls verstanden, und da hat meier mit dem Nebel, und so, recht.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 29.339.862 von edeka1 am 16.05.07 11:13:48

der abschlag hat mehrere gründe.
die analysten haben earnings von .13-16 erwartet und FRPT hat lediglich .04 cent je aktie gemeldet.
das hat enttäuscht und deshalb auch after hours die verkäufe, sicher noch gepusht von den shorts, die diese situation wohl als gute möglichkeit zum covern sehen.

warum war das ergebnis unter den erwartungen, obwohl die firma so dramatisch beim umsatz zulegte>?

1. zahlung oder rückstellung (ist undeutlich im filing) von rund 4.8mio dollar für strafzahlung an die sec wegen möglicher formfehler im filing über das private placement.

2. sehr hohe aufwendungen für forschung und entwicklung des cheetah (auch rund 4.8 mio dollar)

diese ausgaben drückten das eps je aktie auf 4 cent je aktie. ohne diese ausgaben wären wir bei 14 cent eps gewesen, was eine punktlandung bedeutet hätte.

die forschungsaufwendungen für den cheetah sehe ich positiv, die mögliche starfzahlung wegen des private placement als bekloppt. so etwas darf einem cfo nicht passieren.
roduzieren.
wir werden sicher zu handelsbeginn aktive shorts und daytrader sehen, generell hat sich an der stora nichts verändert und ich sehe uns sehr schnell wieder bei alten kursen, zumal die entwicklungskosten für den cheetah darauf hindeuten, dass wir wirklich ab august das teil in massen produzieren.

ich werde heute versuchen im dip zu kaufen, wenn er denn kommt. wissen werden wir das erst zum handelsende. durchaus möglich, dass der normaler nicht so panisch reagiert und durch shortcovering und longs die nachlegen, die kiste zum ende besser dasteht als erwartet.

bis auf den patzer des finanzvorstandes ist für alles im tiefgrünen bereich. den cfo sollte man allerdings an den eiern gebunden eine platzrunde hinter einem cougar machen lassen.

danke charlie,

in solchen situationen darf man nie aus einem impuls heraus kaufen oder verkaufen und bei FRPT sowieso nie in der ersten stunde, denn da ist märchenstunde. war schon immer so.

was uns heute gepusht hat, ist sicher die anhebung des kurszieles durch Unterberg von 25 auf 32 dollar und die nachricht, dass das volle programm der erneuerung der boden fahrzeuge insgesamt rund 20 milliarden dollar umstz für die beteiligten firmen bringen wird. das sind doch gute aussichten, zumal das programm bis 2013 gehen wird.

wartet mal ab, welche nummern in den kommenden quartalsberichten aus den bereiche "service und erstzteile" oder "rasierklingen" kommen werden.

hier die meldung zu den 20 milliarden:

U.S. Military Ground Vehicle Armor Represents a $20 Billion Market 2005 to 2013, According to Vector Strategy ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- In their newest report for the armor industry, 2007 U.S. Military Ground Vehicle Armor Forecast, Vector Strategy projects that an estimated $20 billion of military ground vehicle armor will be procured by the US Department of Defense (DoD) for US military forces between 2005 and 2013 (nine years inclusive). In addition, the industry experiences an unprecedented peak in fiscal year 2007 armor procurement. According to Marcia Price, president of Vector Strategy, "Armor procurement in fiscal year 2007 is 159% the level of procurement in fiscal year 2006 - including base and supplemental budgets now under consideration by Congress." "This peak is due to the need to repair and replace armored vehicles lost or worn out in current Iraq and Afghanistan operations, to add equipment such as MRAP vehicles to fill recently identified war-fighting needs, to supply armored vehicles to support the surge of additional troops to Iraq, to add and upgrade armored vehicles to improve current and future war-on- terrorism capabilities, and to begin procuring armored vehicles needed to support the Army and Marine Corps plans to add 92,000 active duty troops to the force over the next several years," says Ms. Price. Fiscal year 2007 and 2008 military ground vehicle armor procurement is sharply driven by large increases in supplemental funding for force protection and equipment reset. Vector projects that fiscal year 2010 to fiscal year 2013 armor procurement will decline slightly from 2009 levels, but still remain a substantial market for armor industry participants. Vector forecasts additional armor procurement for fiscal year 2009 to 2013 (above the DoD's base budget for those years) to address contingency operations in which U.S. forces become involved, to fund additional sustainment of combat vehicles, to provide applique armor to increase the protection level of mine protected vehicles, and to fund JLTV armor procurement. In fiscal year 2007, light tactical vehicles such as HMMWV's represent 39% of total military ground vehicle armor procurement; medium and heavy tactical vehicles represent 27% of total armor procurement; ASV's, MRAP, and other mine protected vehicles account for 10% of armor spending in 2007; and combat vehicles, such as the Stryker, Bradley, and Abrams, account for 24% of 2007 armor procurement.

MRAP 24 Mrd. $

Army Eyes $10 Billion in Procurement Cuts to Fund Larger MRAP Fleet

Army Eyes $10 Billion in Procurement Cuts to Fund Larger MRAP Fleet
9

May 16, 2007 -- The Army is looking to slash as much as $10 billion from its procurement accounts to pay for a larger fleet of Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles, setting off a round of budget drills that could throw its modernization goals into chaos and trigger a wave of program terminations and delays, according to Defense Department officials.


In a bid to find between $8 billion and $10 billion for a down payment on as many as 15,000 additional MRAP vehicles requested by commanders in Iraq, the Army is considering options for financing a sizable portion of the new armored fleet program within its base budget, according to sources familiar with closely held spending deliberations.


“Everything else we had planned is now second priority,” said a Pentagon official.


This hunt for new resources is sure to compound Army budget challenges and could test the viability of high-priority projects, such as an effort by Gen. George Casey, the Army chief of staff, to accelerate the service’s end strength increase -- an undertaking widely expected to produce a bill requiring billions of additional dollars.


“They are going to break the Army further to fund MRAP,” said an industry official familiar with internal budget drills.


Until now, the quick-moving MRAP program was focused on procuring 7,774 vehicles -- 2,500 of which were for the Army -- largely through supplemental appropriations. Because MRAP is not a program of record and was regarded as a requirement unique to needs in Iraq, it was funded outside the service’s base budget.


On May 2, however, Defense Secretary Robert Gates designated MRAP the Pentagon’s highest priority acquisition program. Gates, in a memo to Pentagon leaders, also implicitly expressed concern that the Army was not buying enough of the vehicles.


“The earlier plan was 2,500 and that’s not enough. I can’t tell you the exact number at this point, but it’s going to grow considerably,” Pete Geren, the acting Army secretary, told reporters May 10.


That same day, Army leaders advanced a proposal for increasing its MRAP requirement from 2,500 to more than 8,000 vehicles (DefenseAlert, May 10). However, officials familiar with the situation say the service faced stiff political pressure to increase its requirement further.


Army leaders are now looking at options for funding the bulk of the more than 17,700 MRAP vehicles that commanders in Iraq, as first reported by InsideDefense.com, have requested inside the service’s base budget, a move expected to siphon resources from other programs and delay funding for others (DefenseAlert, May 2).


“I don’t know how the Army does that,” the industry official said.


The MRAP budget drills are expected to affect the Army’s fiscal year 2009 budget proposal, which is under construction, as well as the FY-08 2008 supplemental spending request and the base budget proposal now before Congress. It may also affect effect the FY-07 budget, which is being executed.


The size of the bill ultimately depends on how many MRAP vehicles the Army decides to procure each year -- and those purchases may be limited by industry’s ability to deliver the new fleet. An internal Pentagon industrial assessment pegs the maximum MRAP procurement rate at 977 a month by the end of this year (DefenseAlert, May 14).


In the hunt for funds to pay for MRAP, Army leaders are expected to fight to protect its top modernization priority, the Future Combat System, from cuts, Pentagon officials said.


Should the Army find funds to buy the entire 17,700 MRAPs now under consideration, the total MRAP program size would more than triple and drive the total price tag to more than $24 billion. -- Jason Sherman

Die Kombination aus Chance und Risiko ist bei FRPT zur Zeit echt unschlagbar, wenn man die verschiedenen Statements beachtet:

May 17 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Army will need to spend
about $19.4 billion through 2009 to purchase more than 17,000
blast-resistant vehicles from ``multiple vendors'' to protect
troops in Iraq, according to a memo approved by the acting army
secretary.
Initial orders will go to vendors not already chosen by the
Marine Corps, which has the lead role in buying the trucks,
Acting Army Secretary Pete Geren said in an information paper
prepared May 15 for Defense Secretary Robert Gates. The Army
will need an extra $1.2 billion this fiscal year, another $8.1
billion in fiscal 2008 and $10.1 billion for fiscal 2009.
Geren said the funding would give the Army the capability
to increase production of Mine Resistant Ambush Protected
vehicles, or MRAP, to a total of 9,996 by October 2008 from 150
expected this October. The total available by July 2009 may be
17,700, Geren said, adding the service has not settled on a
final number.


und...


But Mike Aldrich, vice president of business development and government relations, said the Force Protection-General Dynamics joint venture could produce more than 10,000 MRAP vehicles by the end of 2008. "What's holding us back is a substantial order," he said.


Na das passt doch wie die Faust aufs Auge.


Kann sich jemand irgendein Szenario vorstellen, welches beinhaltet das FRPT nicht über die nächsten 2 Jahre mindestens 15000 MRAP´s verkaufen wird?

mach doch mal langsam! wir befinden uns in einem guten aufwärtstrend, die 30 Dollar würden einen ausbruch nach oben bedeuten! dafür müssten als unterstützung ein paar new`s folgen.

auch könnten die 24 Dollar noch mal getestet werden, da dort der wiederstand lag.

Army Seeks $20B for MRAPs
USA Today | May 18, 2007
WASHINGTON - The Army has asked Defense Secretary Robert Gates to approve spending almost $20 billion for new armored vehicles, a week after Gates called deploying the vehicles the military's top hardware priority.
Acting Army Secretary Pete Geren asked Gates for as many as 17,770 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles (MRAPs), according to a memo dated May 15 and obtained by USA TODAY. The vehicles would be shipped to Iraq after production, reaching the goal in July 2009, according to Geren's memo.

Combined with orders by other services, the total cost of the new vehicles through July 2009 will be almost $25 billion, Pentagon records show. The Marines and Navy want 3,500 MRAPs, while the Air Force and special operations units are seeking another 1,000.

However, there may not be enough material and production capacity to field the MRAPs quickly, according to the memo and Pentagon officials.

No single company can provide more than 1,200 of the vehicles per month, which is the Marines' production goal, said Chris Isleib, a Pentagon spokesman.

Adequate supplies of steel for armor and rubber for tires are also concerns, Isleib said.

Loren Thompson, a military analyst at the Lexington Institute, criticized the Pentagon for moving too slowly on the MRAP program.

"By the time we field all the vehicles we could be on our way out of Iraq," Thompson said.

Thompson said MRAPs may be needed elsewhere.

"Sadly, this vehicle will probably find plenty of uses in other places," Thompson said. "We've shown the world how to fight our army to a standstill."

The Army's rush to buy more MRAPs could affect how many other armored vehicles it buys now and in the future, according to the memo. The Army has sent officials to Iraq to determine how MRAPs will fit in with its existing fleet of armored vehicles, including tanks and armored personnel carriers.

The Army planned to spend about $5.5 billion this year on its three main armored vehicles -- the Abrams tank and Bradley and Stryker armored personnel carriers -- Army budget documents show.

Gates and other Pentagon leaders like the MRAP because its raised chassis and V-shaped hull help protect troops from roadside bombs, which are also called improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Roadside bombs cause 70% of U.S. casualties in Iraq.

Gates told all services on May 2 to determine how many MRAPs they need. The Army, until the May 15 memo, had sought 2,500 MRAPs. Senior Army officials said commanders in the field valued the maneuverability of the Humvee, the military's longtime workhorse vehicle, saying the MRAPs were often too large and unwieldy.

The number of MRAPs in Geren's memo matches the number of armored Humvees the Army operates in Iraq. The Marine Corps has already announced its intent to replace all its Humvees with MRAPs, saying the new armored vehicles are as much as four times safer.

Eight companies are competing for the contracts to build the vehicles, said Capt. Jeff Landis, a Marine Corps spokesman. The Marines are leading the Pentagon's development of the MRAPs, which are now being tested at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland.

Testing should be done by early June, said Brig. Gen. Charles Anderson, the Army's director of force development. "It's round the clock," Anderson said of the testing. "It shows the sense of urgency."

Hi brasi,
das Problem besteht nicht nur in Deinem Thread. Es sind etliche von dem Problem betroffen (z.B. Thread: Investiert in den Krebsschnelltest, Thread: Forsys Metals: RT-Kurse und RT-Kommentare, Thread: Arafura - Uran, Thorium, Phosphat und Rare Earth im N.T., usw.) Ich vermute mal, dass es mit der "Umstellung/Renovierung" bei w:o vor ein paar Wochen zusammenhängt - an dem Tage als es bei Wdie vielen Probleme gab - OK Ihr werdet jetzt wieder sagen, "Wann gab's bei w:o mal keine Probleme?" - aber an dem Tag und am Folgetag herrschte richtiges Chaos (Threads oder Mitglieder konnten bzw. können immer noch nicht aufgefunden werden unter Stichwortsuche, Mitglieder mußten nochmal irgendetwas eingeben um als vollwertige Mitglieder zu werden, usw.)

Vielleicht frag' ich nochmal bei w:o an, habe jedenfalls bis heute noch keine Antwort bzgl. des Problems erhalten - anscheinend ging meine Mail im damaligen Chaos unter.

@pes05: Ja das mit dem ans Ende springen wäre 'ne gute Idee - schlags das doch mal dem BVW von w:o vor vielleicht gewinnst ja'n Preis
Der Thread sollte jedoch komplett beibehalten werden - für Neulinge z.B. die wissen wollen worum's bei der Aktie geht und sich erst informieren müssen. Aber vielleicht kannst Du ja die "paar fehlenden Anfangsseiten" nochmal in'nem Blog reinstellen, wenn Du die alle noch auswendig kennst

Dann erscheint jedesmal wenn man den Thread über Favoriten anklickt die Seite auf der man als letztes war.

Dasselbe funktioniert auch Rückwärts wenn man über "Diskussion" bei "Ansicht" auf "seitenweise Rückwärts" geht, dann "Favoriten hinzufügen", dann kommt immer der neueste Beitrag ganz oben. Beim verlassen braucht man nicht nochmal "Favoriten hinzufügen", es kommt beim Thread anklicken immer der neueste Beitrag.

Zu diesen Problemen die es seit Tagen bei WO gibt ist ein Thread im Feedback.

So Leute,
wie Ihr sicher gemerkt habt ist jetzt alles wieder im Lot, man gelangt wieder auf die "richtige" erste Seite der Threads und nach Usern suchen per Suchmaske funktioniert auch wieder ordentlich.
Das liegt doch nicht an unserer Dikus von gestern?

Vom User pes05 wurde angeregt,dass man beim anklicken des Threadtitels gleich auf die letzte Seite kommt (sozusagen als Voreinstellung) und nicht erst diese ganze Rumgeklicke mit Favoriten, Rückwärtlesebutton, usw. absolvieren muß.

Democrats Relent On Pullout Timetable

By Shailagh Murray
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, May 23, 2007; Page A01

Democrats gave up their demand for troop-withdrawal deadlines in an Iraq war spending package yesterday, abandoning their top goal of bringing U.S. troops home and handing President Bush a victory in a debate that has roiled Congress for months.

Bush, who has already vetoed one spending bill with a troop timeline, had threatened to do the same with the next version if it came with such a condition. Democratic leaders had pressed ahead anyway, under heavy pressure from liberals who believe that the party won control of Congress in November on the strength of antiwar sentiment. But in the end, Democrats said they did not have enough votes to override a presidential veto and could not delay troop funding.

The spending package, expected to total $120 billion when the final version is released today, would require Bush to surrender virtually none of his war authority. Democrats were working to secure two other priorities that the president had previously resisted -- an increase in the minimum wage and funding for domestic programs, including veterans' benefits, Hurricane Katrina relief and agricultural aid.

Instead of sticking with troop-withdrawal dates, Democrats accepted a GOP plan to establish 18 political and legislative benchmarks for the Iraqi government, with periodic reports from Bush on its progress, starting in late July. If the Iraqis fall short, they could forfeit U.S. reconstruction aid.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was so disappointed with the outcome that she said she might vote against the Iraq portion of the package, which will be split into two parts when it comes before the House. "I'm not likely to vote for something that doesn't have a timetable," Pelosi said.

Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) worked to hammer out a final agreement through yesterday evening, consulting regularly with GOP leaders and the White House. The package is expected to come before the House and the Senate tomorrow and to be sent Bush no later than Friday, before members of Congress leave for a weeklong Memorial Day recess. Reid called the benchmark language "extremely weak," but he noted that Bush had initially demanded a bill with no strings attached on Iraq. "For heaven's sake, look where we've come," Reid said. "It's a lot more than the president ever expected he'd have to agree to."

Republicans remained united throughout the debate, despite strong public opposition to the war and growing internal doubts that a military victory in Iraq is achievable. While some Republicans chastised Democrats for backing off from "surrender dates," GOP reaction was somewhat muted when details of the deal circulated yesterday afternoon.

The war debate on Capitol Hill began in January, when Bush announced plans to increase troop levels in Iraq. It has raged without pause ever since, pushing aside the Democrats' ambitious 2006 election agenda, while testing loyalties in both parties. After initially resisting all Democratic efforts to challenge Bush, many GOP lawmakers are now prepared to reassess the entire war effort once the new funding measure expires on Sept. 30.

"As our leadership from the president on down to the leaders of Congress have said repeatedly, we're not there forever," said Sen. John W. Warner (R-Va.), who crafted the benchmark proposal with a group of moderate Republicans and Democrats. "We're there to help you so long as you, as a sovereign nation, pull your own weight and do your responsible job."

From the outset of the battle on spending, Democratic leaders knew that their options would be limited by the party's slim majorities in both chambers. In the 51 to 49 Senate, Tim Johnson (D-S.D.) was absent after a brain hemorrhage, while independent Joseph I. Lieberman (Conn.), a member of the Democratic caucus, backed Bush on the war. Passage of the first spending bill was secured by a narrow 51 to 46 vote, with support from two Republicans, Chuck Hagel (Neb.) and Gordon Smith (Ore.).

Bush vetoed that bill on May 1, singling out provisions that would have required troop withdrawals to begin later this year while setting a goal of removing most U.S. combat forces by March 31, 2008. Meanwhile, the benchmarks started to circulate among Republicans as a possible alternative.

Almost all Republicans, along with Lieberman and seven Democrats, backed the Warner proposal last week in a symbolic Senate vote. In a meeting Friday with congressional leaders, White House Chief of Staff Joshua B. Bolten signaled that Bush would accept the Warner terms, but Pelosi and Reid continued to press for a withdrawal timetable, even offering Bush a waiver option.

Democrats said they would drop the domestic spending in the bill in exchange, but when Bolten declined the withdrawal offer, Reid and Pelosi put the additional billions back on the table. Last night, negotiators said Democrats had dropped just three items from the first bill, including funding for a low-income heating program and fishing industry subsidies.

"Both sides are in a position where neither can do something without the other. That's the reality," said House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.).

Even before the ink was dry on the spending deal, antiwar lawmakers expressed strong opposition. "There has been a lot of tough talk from members of Congress about wanting to end this war, but it looks like the desire for political comfort won out over real action," said Sen. Russell Feingold (D-Wis.). But Democrats vowed to continue their quest on other legislative vehicles. The big showdown will come in several months, when funding from the new bill expires and results from the U.S. troop buildup and the Iraqi benchmarks begin to materialize.

"This is another stage in the sequencing of ending this war," said Pelosi, who added that September would be "the moment of truth."

Nimmt man jedoch die Fantasie dazu:

- Mögl. Großauftrag MRAV-Programm

- andere Aufträge und cheetah etc.

- Möglichkeit der Übernahme

- Ausbau der anderen Bereiche (Ersatzteile, wartung etc.

dann ist noch Spiel nach oben....

Sollte keine Übernahme stattfinden, guckt man auch auf Bereiche wie Kosten, denn die können immer optimiert werden.

Ich werde noch mindestens 12 Monate halten, es sei denn wir bekommen keine Aufträge mehr, was sehr unwahrscheinlich ist

IV:

FPI can produce 360 Cougars per month at the Ladson plant alone?

From the Thomas Weisel report:

"Early progress toward aggressive production goals: Force Protection is currently running two
Cougar production lines at two shifts per day at its Ladson facility. We estimate a physical plant
capacity of five to six production lines, which would imply the potential to raise Ladson production
from approximately 80 Cougars per month to 360 per month, with partner-provided capacity "

According to the author, FPI can produce 20 Cougars per line per shift per month. Working three shifts with 6 lines running that would be 360 per month without any partner production capacity other than Spartan and Ultra, so I'm not sure what the author is referring to. Adding GD and AH to the mix should increase production beyond 360 per month. Adding BAE may be constrained by Spartan's capacity, but their CEO stated just last week that he was prepared to do MORE than 400 per month, if they got the orders.

Die Aufträge können kommen ! Die Produktion ist bereit.

egal, abgewürgt wurde der anlauf für´sd erste und heute gab´s einen zweiten headfake. allerdings haben wir langes wochenende und ich hoffe spätestens am freitag auf einen neuen lauf. und die erfahrung zeigt, dass auf franks verkäufe IMMER rallyes folgten, merkwürdig aber wahr.

ansonsten hat sich an der story nicht verändert, wenn, dann nur zum guten. kann auch sein, dass das GD und /oder andere momentan den deckel draufhalten, weil eine übernahme vor der tür steht. siehe das kursverhalten von AH kurz bevor BAE zuschnappte.

wir werden´s sehen.

kurzer lagebericht:

habe heute 10k geworfen.
5 zum testen als all or none um zu sehen, ob es shorts sind, die uns nach unten taxen, gleichzeitig aber gierige investoren da sind.
resultat: nach einer minute war der block AON weg.

bei 27.70 erneut 5k als AON order rein, aber zu 28.
resultat: dauerte 30 sekunden, bis die MM den kurs nach oben getaxt hatten auf 28.12
resultat: block weg

jetzt die gegenrechnung.
gegen 21.40 begann ich bei 27.12 zu ordern.
insgesamt 10k geordert zwischen 27.10 und 27.25, gestaffelt, um die shorts zu bremsen und nicht unter die 27 zu manilulieren. sah zwei MM jeweisl mit 6300er blöcken das ask blockieren.

resultat: von 10k georderten bekam ich 1k zu 27.25, den rest nicht obwohl minutenlang deutlich über über ask geboten wurde.

resumee: alles cool.

Force Protection Gets $11.9M Navy Deal

Force Protection Gets $11.9M Navy Deal for 14 Additional Armored Vehicles Needed in Iraq


WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. Navy on Thursday awarded an $11.9 million deal to Force Protection Inc. to build and deliver 14 next-generation armored vehicles.
The Ladson, S.C.-based company last month won a $490 million contract for 1,000 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected, or MRAP, vehicles. The vehicle maker is partnering up with General Dynamics Corp. under a joint venture, dubbed 'Force Dynamics' to deliver the armored vehicles to the Army and Marines as quickly as possible.

The company will complete work on this contract by April 2008.

MRAP vehicles protect U.S. soldiers from mines, rocket-propelled grenades and improvised explosive devises and are currently used in operations in Iraq.

Shares of Force Protection rose 34 cents to $27.63 in extended trading, after shares dropped 36 cents to $27.29 in the regular trading session Thursday.

2. Warum warten die so lange, denn FRPT wird immer teurer... ?

3. Welchen Zeitraum setzt Ihr an ?

4. Will sich FRPT wehren oder laufen hinter den Kulissen schon Gespräche ?

5. Seht Ihr auch andere Möglichkeiten (JointVenture, eigene Übernahmen etc.) ?

Nettes Posting aus IV zur kleinen Erinnerung an das was uns demnächst erwartet

amateur

Amateur, you could be right and the stock price could pull back for a brief time period just like after the earnings report (very brief in that instance) but read these 2 articles and understand that our orders will be for the most vehicles and produced in the shortest amount of time. I'm personally not sweating Navistar or PVI getting an order for several hundred that could take up to a year to complete. I'm not saying to turn a blind eye to the competition but IMO the main focus at this time is our production capacity and relationships with our strategic partners and the price will take care of itself. For the traders, do as you wish but longs have always made money here without all the worry and stress. To me these 2 articles with quotes from Aldrich paint the big picture. The articles might be useful for some to refresh their memory if they have concerns about some of the others getting contracts. According to Aldrich we'll get our orders. Everyone have a good weekend. GLTA

"In anticipation of a possible flood of new orders, Force Protection last fall joined General Dynamics to form a new company, Force Dynamics. While Force Protection is currently making 80 vehicles per month at its Ladson, S.C., plant, the new venture will deliver 400 per month by year’s end, and a total of more than 10,000 category 1 and 2 MRAPs by the end of 2008, Aldrich said."

http://www.forbes.com/markets/2007/04/24/force-protection-mi…

"We're expecting to get 6,000 more orders," said Michael Aldrich, vice president of marketing at Force Protection, in an interview on Tuesday. "The government has told us repeatedly that if we pass the test and we prove that we can generate capacity and a delivery schedule that meets their needs, then they would deliver the orders. Our optimism is based on experience."

Das macht optimistisch für die nächsten Wochen.

"...The fast-growing, $25 billion Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles program may soon receive the Pentagon’s top-priority DX rating, reserved for acquisition efforts of the highest national urgency. But even that may not be sufficient to get the vehicles as fast as officialswant them.
A DX designation would put the planned procurement of some 22,000 MRAP vehicles in a select category with 16 other military programs, and make their production needs a discussion topic by a special joint group run by the deputy defense undersecretary for industrial policy. "

"...Orders Coming
Large MRAP orders are expected in the coming weeks, said Mann, SysCom’s MRAP manager. The blast-testing of the MRAP vehicles is now wrapping up at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md.
About $3 billion of the initial money needed to pay for large MRAP orders is in the 2007 defense supplemental spending bill, said congressional sources.
“The test program and producability assessments are the key. These are IDIQ [indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity] contracts, so we can buy as many as we need under the contract limits,” Mann said."

[BR101]

hallo,

eine kleine anmerkung für die kommenden tage und wochen. einge haben wohl gelesen, dass ich letzte woche 10k verkaufte, weil ich damit etwas spielen wollte.
mir hat der verkauf von 2 blöcken zu je 5k auch gezeigt, dass diese schnell geschluckt wurden, der zweite sogar, indem die MM mal schnell 30 cent nach oben taxten.
trotzdem ein kleiner ratschalg an die, die etwas zu verlieren haben, weil sie das geld bald benötigen oder noch nicht 200 oder mehr prozente vorne sind. ich erwarte künstliche abschläge an den tagen, an denen wir von aufträgen an andere firmen hören, sofern wir nicht ebenfalls zeitgleich aufträge erhalten. das ist zwar reine psychologie, kann aber doch schon mal ein paar dollar unterschied machen. wer also "eng" in seinem spielraum ist, sollte den kurs die kommenden tagen enger beobachten, zumal einige eine weitere short attacke erwarten.
ich habe noch rund 90k parat, um hier und da zu stützen und einige auf IV halten ebenfalls cash parat für diesen fall aber man weiss nie, mit wieviel druck die shorts arbeiten werden.

also, augen auf. die story stimmt nach wie vor, aber es sollte jedem klar sein, dass frpt an der kapazitätsgrenze arbeitet und nie und nimmer 20.000 fahrzeuge als auftrag bekommen wird. und wie ich schon sagte...alles psychologie.

Bin zwar kein Experte auf dem Gebiet, aber ich glaube nicht mehr an eine Übernahme.
Übernahmen seitens FRPT möglich, aber nicht zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt -
die Jungs haben zur Zeit doch dafür gar keine Zeit.

@Brasi:
dass frpt an der kapazitätsgrenze arbeitet und nie und nimmer 20.000 fahrzeuge als auftrag bekommen wird.

Daran glaube ich auch nicht, könnte mir aber gut vorstellen, das es wie folgt ablaufen könnte:

1. FRPT hat die besten Fahrzeuge (Testdaten Aberdeen)

2. FRPT-Fahrzeuge setzen den \"golden Standard\", und es werden max. 2-3 Fahrzeugtypen von anderen Herstellern geordert (in wesentlich kleineren Stückzahlen) - was von der logistischen Seite her absolut Sinn macht.

3. FPI, FD, GD, BEA (AH) werden dann Cougar+Co. produzieren. Spartan als Zulieferer nicht zu vergessen.

4. so kommt man in kürzester Zeit an das beste Produkt.

Das ist natürlich nur so eine Idee und nur meine Meinung.
Wo der Aktienkurs dann allerdings steht, mag ich hier nicht posten - also lieber abwarten und Tee trinken.
Falls das ganze eher negativ für FRPT kommt - wovon ich absolut nicht ausgehe - werde ich ab nächster Woche einen Teil nach unten absichern.

ich wäre diese woche nicht überrascht wenn wir schon einen ersten grösseren Auftrag sehen würden.
meiner ansicht nach wird frpt praktisch die hälfte der 22'000 fahrzeuge produzieren. herr aldrich hat dies ja auch schon so geschildert, dass frpt rund 10'000 fahrzeuge produzieren kann.
jedenfalls wird's für diese und die kommenden wochen recht interessant

29.05.2007 - 12:00 Uhr Force Protection per Stop-loss-limit absichern

Endingen (aktiencheck.de AG)

Die Experten von "Hot Stocks Investor" raten vorsichtigen Anlegern, die Force Protection-Aktie (ISIN US3452032028/ WKN A0DQR7) per Stop-loss-limit abzusichern.

Die Experten hätten den Titel im letzten Jahr im September bei Kursen um 9 USD Anlegern ans Herz gelegt. Die sehr gute operative Entwicklung habe sich seitdem fortgesetzt. So sei im ersten Quartal 2007 der Umsatz um 188% auf 100,2 Mio. USD ausgeweitet worden und der Nettogewinn habe sich auf 2,5 Mio. USD belaufen.

Auch wenn der Titel seit Januar 2006 von weniger als 1 USD auf mittlerweile über 30 USD gestiegen sei, biete er noch Luft für weitere Kurssteigerungen. So liege das Gewinnwachstum in diesem und im nächsten Jahr im dreistelligen Bereich und das EPS dürfte auf Basis von Analystenschätzungen von 0,64 USD auf 1,46 USD in 2008 zulegen.

Vorsichtige Anleger können die Force Protection-Aktie selbstverständlich mit einem Stop-loss-limit absichern, der allerdings so clever gesetzt werden sollte, dass auch kleinere Pendelbewegungen nicht gleich einen Verkauf nach sich ziehen, raten die Experten von "Hot Stocks Investor".

Wir haben natürlich schon gute Kurse, aber wenn der Großauftrag kommt - und der wird kommen ! - dann bekommen wir noch einmal einen Schub. Wieviel Fahrzeuge aus dem MRAV-Programm bei FRPT geordert werden, wissen wir heute noch nicht, aber der Auftrag wird an der Auslastungsgrenze liegen. Dazu werden die Wartungen, Ersatzteile etc. für bessere Zahlen sorgen. Die Marge muss und wird sicher bei FRPT noch gesteigert werden.

Für den Zeitraum von 12 - 15 Monaten sehe ich noch genügend Raum für Kurssteigerungen - mit zwischenzeitlichen Konsolidierungen.

Ein Teil-Verkauf zur Zeit wäre für mich unsinnig, da ich innerhalb der nächsten 3-5 Monate mehr dafür bekommen werde.

Gut das du auf mich gehört und mit deinen Verkäufen nicht auf die 32 $ gewartet hast. Jetzt mußt du nur noch meinen zweiten Rat befolgen und groß in Biph einsteigen, dann bist du in wenigen Monaten ein gemachter Mann.


Ist doch gut wenn man jemanden hat, der einen ab und zu mit guten Ratschlägen versorgt....

10000 MRAP Order in den nächsten 4 Wochen ?


USA > Military

from the May 31, 2007 edition

Why so few bomb-safe US military trucks in Iraq?
No one has ever been killed riding in the 31,000-pound 'Cougar.' But only a few hundred are in service.
.....

The Pentagon wants 21,000 of the vehicles and Congress is paying for 7,700 of them. The company is now producing each month about 100 Cougars – the version most wanted by the military – and it's preparing to go to a 200-per-month production rate, hiring 25 new employees a week. Aldrich says his company can make 10,000 vehicles by December – but that's if he gets an order from the US government by July 1.

"That will get a lot of people protected in a hurry," he says. "Now we're clearly putting the ball back in the government's court, we're saying 'place the order,' " he says.

[coolrunning]

weiß jetzt nicht, wie alt das ist:

aus globalsecurity.org:
Mine-protected Utility Vehicle / Rapid-Deployable (MUV-R)
Force Protection Industries Inc., Ladson, SC, plans to compete in the competition to replace the Humvee. Neither the Buffalo nor Cougar has all the performance the Army is looking for in the nextgeneration vehicle. Specifically, they lack off-road capabilities. Force Protection's prototype, initially nicknamed the Lion, is said to weigh no more than 7 tons but still offer the same level of protection as the much larger Cougar. The prototype vehicle is known as the Mine-protected Utility Vehicle / Rapid Deployable (MUV-R). Earlier names included "Lion," which was dropped because the King of Swaziland's armored vehicle was named "Lion." The next name was "Kodiak," but Chevrolet was first with that name.

The MUV-R is a new armored vehicle with the same speed, climb, and general off-road performance capabilities as the Humvee. At 10 to 12 tons, the MUV-R is designed to meet these requirements as well as offer mine and blast protection. In addition, it incorporates a roof-mounted weapons system that is remotely controlled by the right front-seat passenger. A 360-degree battlefield requires vehicles small enough to enable a full range of motion and strong enough to take the punch of an IED. A lighter weight troop carrier is designed to fill this critical role. The MUV-R is being developed with that purpose in mind, and will likely be ready for active operations near the end of 2006.

Hallo,

The Pentagon wants 21,000 of the vehicles and Congress is paying for 7,700 of them. The company is now producing each month about 100 Cougars – the version most wanted by the military – and it's preparing to go to a 200-per-month production rate, hiring 25 new employees a week.

[mc-plop]

Ich werde heute mal ausnahmsweise den Rechner bis 23 Uhr 30 anlassen und mich von den bekanntgegebenen Contracts überraschen lassen.

Da morgen der 1. Juni ist, denke ich das heute oder morgen für FRPT was kapitales dabei ist.

Ich vermute mal von den derzeit 3 Mrd. zur Verfügung stehenden Dollar wird wohl was in der Größenordnung von ca. 4000 Mrap`s oder ca. 2 Mrd. $ an FRPT gehen damit die ihre Produktion ordentlich ankurbeln können um die 10000 MRAP´s bis Ende 2008 zu schaffen.

Remember:

"We're expecting to get 6,000 more orders," said Michael Aldrich, vice president of marketing at Force Protection, in an interview on Tuesday. "The government has told us repeatedly that if we pass the test and we prove that we can generate capacity and a delivery schedule that meets their needs, then they would deliver the orders. Our optimism is based on experience."

"In anticipation of a possible flood of new orders, Force Protection last fall joined General Dynamics to form a new company, Force Dynamics. While Force Protection is currently making 80 vehicles per month at its Ladson, S.C., plant, the new venture will deliver 400 per month by year’s end, and a total of more than 10,000 category 1 and 2 MRAPs by the end of 2008, Aldrich said."

The Pentagon wants 21,000 of the vehicles and Congress is paying for 7,700 of them. The company is now producing each month about 100 Cougars – the version most wanted by the military – and it's preparing to go to a 200-per-month production rate, hiring 25 new employees a week. Aldrich says his company can make 10,000 vehicles by December – but that's if he gets an order from the US government by July 1. aufmerksam

"That will get a lot of people protected in a hurry," he says. "Now we're clearly putting the ball back in the government's court, we're saying 'place the order,' " he says.

U.S. Marine Corps Awards $623 Million Contract for Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) Vehicles to International Military and Governemnt, LLC
Navistar Company Delivering 1,200 Units to Help Protect U.S. Military Personnel
Warrenville, Illinois - May 31, 2007

Navistar International Corporation (OTC: NAVZ) announced today that its military subsidiary, International Military and Government, LLC, has been awarded a $623 million contract by the U.S. Marine Corps to provide 1,200 Category I Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles to be delivered by the end of February 2008. The vehicle is called the International® MaxxPro™ and recent estimates value the total military MRAP procurement at more than $8 billion and in excess of 7,700 units.

\"The opportunity to provide U.S. Armed Forces with protected vehicles is a great privilege,\" said Daniel C. Ustian, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Navistar International Corporation. \"A U.S. military vehicle order of this magnitude re-establishes Navistar as a prime supplier of tactical wheeled vehicles under the International brand. Our employees at U.S. plants nationwide will take pride in providing these military vehicles to help protect our forces overseas. The award fits with our strategy of leveraging our existing assets to achieve growth in markets outside of our traditional core businesses. We remain committed to investing in products that give us a sustainable competitive advantage at all points of the truck cycle and increasing our volume to give us better scale.\"

International delivered four units to the Marine Corps in March 2007 for extensive testing at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds to evaluate crew survivability and performance. The MaxxPro™ powered by an International MaxxForce™ turbocharged diesel engine was designed around the following:

* Crew survivability. International’s MaxxPro™ features unique and advanced armoring and design technology to protect occupants on the battlefield from today’s threats.
* Mission accomplishment. International designed the MaxxPro™ vehicle with protection, versatility and reliability in mind.
* Capability for immediate high rate of production. As one of the largest commercial truck and engine manufacturers, International has a dedicated integration facility for military vehicle production and is able to rapidly ramp up production to meet the military’s desired levels.
* Ease of service and superior life cycle value. It is vital for U.S. forces on the battlefield to get vehicles maintained and returned to action as quickly as possible. International’s MRAP vehicles were designed with operational readiness in mind. Commonality and utilization of readily available and well proven truck components helps reduce the logistical footprint for parts and service which maximizes uptime.

With vehicles needed urgently on the battlefield, International’s proven production capabilities and exemplary performance for delivering quality products on time will be a key consideration by the U.S. Military for any future procurements against the contract.

\"We are proud to be supplying MRAP vehicles to the Department of Defense,\" said Archie Massicotte, President of International Military and Government, LLC. \"We understand the urgency of delivering these 1,200 units and welcome the opportunity to demonstrate our production capabilities for producing high-quality, lifesaving units to an aggressive timetable.\"

International utilizes a modular concept, developed in conjunction with armor solutions provider Plasan Sasa, to armor its MaxxPro™ vehicles. The design positions the v-shaped crew compartment on top of International’s proven heavy-duty truck chassis. The v-shaped hull is designed to deflect blasts from underneath the truck to dissipate around the crew area, minimizing damage.

\"Our nation’s heroes are the men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces who risk their lives daily for our freedom,\" said Massicotte. \"We’ve made it our mission to develop military vehicles that will keep them safer, so they can return home to their families when their mission is accomplished. The efforts and dedication of the government’s MRAP program team during this procurement has been outstanding and they need to be commended for getting our forces the best possible vehicles for the task at hand. We at International are poised and ready to deliver.\"

zur erläuterung:

der auftrag an unsere mitbewerber war ein LRIP (also test, ob sie die produktionszahlen auch bringen können)

der ablauf:
1. test aberdeen
2. LRIP (kapazitätstest mit vorgabe einer bestimmten menge)
3. Check des LRIPS nach einigen Monaten und dann, sofern bestanden, umwandlung der LRIP Mengen in DO (definitive order)

FRPT ist die einzige Firma, die bislang eine DO erhalten hat für 1000 Fahrzeuge, weil wirden LRIP erfolgreich bestanden.

Jetzt sind die anderen dran. derzeit haben sie 50 (ja, 50) leute für den bau der 1220 fahrzeuge. 350 sollen angeheuert werden und das wird monate dauern, dazu die zeit der einarbeitung und materialbeschaffung.

ich schätze die bauen bis 2008 max. 600 fahrzeuge, den rst wird man FRPT geben, damit die orders erfüllt werden.

Unexpected Competitor Hits Force Protection
Evelyn M. Rusli, 06.01.07, 1:30 PM ET
Force Protection Rises on Army Interest
Armored-Vehicle Maker Soars


Shares of armored vehicle maker Force Protection gave ground on Friday after an unlikely competitor snapped up a major military vehicle contract.

Late Thursday, the Department of Defense awarded Navistar a $623 million contract to build 1,200 vehicles. Under the Army’s Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle program, the government will order about 23,000 armored vehicles— a market Force Protection (nasdaq: FRPT - news - people )currently dominates with an 81% share.

Less than 3,000 vehicle contracts have been awarded thus far, but many analysts predict it will be a tug of war between the major players: Force Protection, BAE Systems (other-otc: BAESF.PK - news - people ), and General Dynamics (nyse: GD - news - people ), with Force Protection leading the way.

“Although we had expected, and continue to expect, additional orders to other vendors, we had regarded IM&G (International Military and Government, a unit of Navistar) as a less likely major participant in the program,” said James McIlree, a C.E. Unterberg, Towbin analyst, in a research note. There was some skepticism that Navistar’s vehicles would perform well in blast testing, but this latest contract clearly signals a vote of confidence from the government.

Shares of Force Protection dropped 6.0%, or $1.70, to $26.77 in afternoon trading.

The army’s growing need for armored vehicles has singularly driven the company’s stock in the last year, from $4.64 in June 2006 to about $26 dollars today. (See: "Force Protection Rises on Army Interest." )

While the company has a strong record in field performance, the government may want to spread out the contracts to ensure sufficient capacity. (See: "Force Protection Nets Big Win." ) The company has “done a real good job of ramping up production,” McIlree told Forbes.com on Friday, and by the end of the year, they should be able to churn out 100 vehicles a month. Force Protection will also subcontract vehicle orders to boost production capacity levels.

Force Protection Develops Truck Armor for New Bombs (Update1)

By Edmond Lococo

June 1 (Bloomberg) -- Force Protection Inc., a maker of mine-resistant trucks for the U.S. Marine Corps, has developed an armor kit to make the vehicles safer from the most powerful bombs now being used by Iraqi insurgents.

The kits, which cost about $150,000 for the company's Cougar vehicle, are made of a new composite material that Force Protection won't identify or describe for security reasons, Vice President Michael Aldrich said in an interview.

Force Protection began developing the kits after the first fatal detonation near one of its vehicles killed three U.S. troops in Iraq last November, he said. Prior to that attack with a powerful new bomb called an explosively formed penetrator, or EFP, the company's Cougar and Buffalo vehicles had been used in Iraq and Afghanistan without a fatality since 2003.

``We have seized an opportunity to counter that threat,'' Aldrich said in a phone interview yesterday from company headquarters in Ladson, South Carolina. ``It's not more steel. It's a new material solution.''

The kits could be applied to the company's own vehicles as well as those of other manufacturers including the Stryker transports made by Falls Church, Virginia-based General Dynamics Corp. and the Bradley fighting vehicles made by London-based BAE Systems Plc.

The kits have been through three rounds of testing, including one by the company and two by the military, Aldrich said. Marine Corps spokesman Bill Johnson-Miles said he didn't immediately have information available on the kits.

Faster Acquisition

Faster acquisition of blast-proof trucks to improve safety for U.S. troops in Iraq is the Pentagon's top procurement priority, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said May 9. U.S. forces last month suffered their deadliest month in Iraq since November 2004, with at least 123 killed, according to Pentagon data. Homemade bombs have accounted for 61 percent of the 2,793 U.S. combat deaths in the conflict as of May 19.

The Marine Corps has said the new trucks, which deflect explosive force with V-shaped hulls, are four times safer than flat-bottomed Humvee transports. The Marines are leading efforts to buy the new vehicles and may spend $8.4 billion over two years for as many as 7,700 trucks. The U.S. Army said last month it may need 17,000 of them valued at $19.4 billion through 2009.

Force Protection developed the armor kits with its own funds and doesn't have any contracts for them yet, Aldrich said.

An explosively formed penetrator has a liner in the shape of a shallow dish which, on detonating, is transformed into a hypervelocity metal projectile that is able to penetrate many types of armor. The U.S. in March accused the Iranian government of providing the deadly new weapons to insurgents in Iraq.

Vehicles Need Armor

Force Protection investor Don Cochran, with more than 100,000 shares, said he believes new vehicles will have to carry the EFP armor.

``EFP protection is not currently in the requirements because the military is focused on defeating more common improvised-explosive devices,'' Cochran said. ``My guess is new vehicles will have to have EFP protection and Force Protection is there; they have the technology.''

Shares of Force Protection dropped $1.05, or 3.7 percent, to $27.42 at 4 p.m. New York time in Nasdaq Stock Market composite trading. They have climbed almost sixfold in the past year.

Nur noch mal zur kleinen Erinnerung, falls es nächste Woche noch mal ein bißchen stürmig werden sollte:

The military plans to spend as much as $25 billion for up to 22,000 MRAPs by 2009. Last month, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said buying the vehicles should be the Pentagon's top procurement priority.

Glaubt jemand das FRPT nicht jedes Fahrzeug welches Sie herstellen können im Rahmen des MRAP-Programms oder unter anderen "Protection-Programmen" verkaufen können?

Das würde ja dann heißen sie würden bis Ende 2008 über 10,000 Fahrzeuge verkaufen.

Was das für den PPS bedeutet kann sich jeder selbst ausmalen.

kurzfristig sicher bedauerlich, dass ich mit meiner vermutung recht hatte. mittel- und langfristig schadet dieser dip niemandem. wir haben 8mio shorte aktien und die PP shares dürften wohl jetzt handelbar sein. also werden die PP leute von ihren 9 mio shares mal so einige verkaufen und gewinne mitnehmen. die shorts unterstützen das noch ein wenig, stop losses dazu plus MM kooperation (die verdienen ja nicht am kurs sondern am umsatz) und dann haben wir das perfekte szenario.

spätestens beim zweiten und dritten auftrag der an andere vergeben wird, rechne ich mit einer realistischen einschätzung des marktes, nämlich 20.000 fahrzeuge werden von mehrenen firmen produziert.

habe einiges an stücken auf dem weg nach unten wieder eingesammelt und was mich beruhigt ist die tatsache, dass frpt rund um die uhr produziert und alles was räder hat, abgenommen wird.

irgendwann werden also wieder die käufer die oberhand gewinnen. wer´s nicht aushält: pc aus, jack daniels auf.

Competitive Concerns Sap Force Protection
Evelyn M. Rusli, 06.04.07, 7:58 PM ET



Force Protection shares fell 10% Monday amid growing concern that the company is losing ground to competitors in the race for lucrative military vehicle contracts.

Under the Military’s Mine Resistant Ambust Protected (MRAP) vehicle program, the army is expected to award contracts to produce 23,000 armored vehicles, about 7,700 of which will be awarded this year. Of the 2007 batch, Force Protection (nasdaq: FRPT - news - people ) holds a 39.6% share of the 2,839 vehicle orders already awarded. Although Force Protection has one of the best field performance records — no one has died in its mid-sized military vehicles to date — the government may spread out the contracts among various manufacturers to ensure sufficient capacity.

Initially, many analysts had expected a tug-of-war between Force Protection and a handful of major players, such as BAE System and Oshkosh Truck (nyse: OSK - news - people ), but last week, the government awarded a $623 million contract to Navistar (other-otc: NAVZ - news - people ), an unlikely competitor. (See: “Unlikely Rival Hits Force Protection”)

The emergence of a dark horse could jeopardize Force Protection’s dominance in the market, analysts said.

In a research note on Monday, Stanford Group analyst, Josephin Millard said it is now “unlikely” that Force Protection will “receive another MRAP award until” the passage of the 2008 military defense bill this fall.

Shares of the armored vehicle maker plunged 10.1%, or $2.99, to close at $24.43 Monday.

The outstanding 4,961 vehicle orders for 2007 will likely go to the five other major contractors who have not yet received a large order, she said. Three or four contracts of Navistar’s size could be awarded in the next two weeks, Millard said. She also predicted that Force Protection’s share of the contracts will eventually dip to 30%.

While Force Protection's vice president for sales, Michael Aldrich, admitted to Forbes.com that the Navistar deal was "somewhat a surprise," he was still confident the company would win a large bulk of the orders.

Under a joint venture with General Dynamics (nyse: GD - news - people ), Force Protection will be able to deliver 12,100 vehicles between July 2007 and December 2008, Aldrich said. "We have reason to be wildly optimistic that we will receive more orders," he said. "We have passed the test, we have more than quadrupled production and we are ahead on all the contracts we are on right now."

In 2006, Force Protection churned out 300 vehicles for the entire year. In the first quarter of 2007, the company already produced more than 100 units. Beyond its partnership with General Dynamics, the company has major subcontract holdings with Armor Holdings and Spartan Chassis.

The comany is also expected to roll out a new line of lightweight armored vehicles this fall. At 7 tons, the Cheetah will be lighter and more mobile than the company's Cougar line, which will make it an attractive replacement candidate for the Humvee. The army has indicated that a top priority is replacing the 17,700 Humvees in Iraq with armored vehicles that can stand up better to mines, improvised explosive devices and rocket-propelled grenades.

The army’s growing need for armored vehicles drove the company’s stock from $4.64 in June 2006 to over $25 this year. (See: "Force Protection Rises on Army Interest." ) Momentum had seemed to be building for Force Protection, which announced last month that it won a $490 million to produce 1,000 new vehicles for the military.

MRAP Some Probabilities and Analysis

Under MRAP, the military announced that they would purchase three categories of vehicles called – CAT 1, CAT 2 and CAT 3. All three types of vehicles are mine and IED resistant. CAT 1 is mainly for urban combat operations and can carry a minimum of six personnel. CAT 2 is a multi-mission vehicle that can be used for troop transport, convoy escort, ambulance EOD and etc. CAT 2 vehicles can carry 10 or more personnel. CAT 3 is a Mine/IED clearance vehicle and the Buffalo manufactured by FPI has been named as the sole source CAT 3 vehicle.

The initial contracts will probably cover the original MRAP solicitation for 4,100 MRAP vehicles composed of 1,500 CAT I and 2,600 CAT II. However, the need for vehicles MRAP vehicles is now more than 7700 vehicles. The composition of the additional 3600 vehicles beyond the original 4100 vehicles has to my knowledge not been released. If they buy them in the same proportion, then they would purchase roughly an additional 1300 CAT 1 and 2300 CAT II to get from 4100 to 7700 vehicles. I believe that the military will likely fill the original order for 4100 MRAP vehicles prior to ordering any of the additional 3600 vehicles. This is partly because the Defense Supplemental bill should cover 4100 vehicles but not 7700 vehicles.

The list of companies that are bidding on the MRAP contracts are: AH, BAE, FD, GDLS, General Purpose Vehicles, International Military and Government, Oshkosh Truck Corporation, Protected Vehicles, Inc, and Textron. Force Protection Inc, (FPI) has a joint venture with GDLS called Force Dynamics (FD). The joint venture between FPI and GDLS will jointly bid on MRAP opportunities available for various versions of the Cougar.

1) Force Dynamics received an order for 700 CAT II and 300 CAT I MRAP vehicles

2) International Military and Government received an order for 1200 CAT I MRAP vehicles

3) BAE with CAT II RG33 expected to get a contract

4) GDLS RG-31 (CAT 1 vehicle)

5) Oshkosh Truck Corporation PVI-ALPHA for CAT I and the Bushmaster as its CAT II vehicle. The Bushmaster is currently used by the Australian and Dutch militaries

6) PVI – Golan (CAT II vehicle)

7) AH -- No vehicle

8) Textron – Vehicle failed testing

9) General Purpose vehicle – No Vehicle

The question is who gets the remaining orders?

In the original terms for the MRAP contract, the military listed the following two main criteria for a vendor selection:

1) The Contractor or Contractors vehicle systems that demonstrate the best overall performance in PVT testing (with survivability being the highest priority)

2) The Contractor or Contractors that demonstrate the greatest capability to produce and deliver vehicles with the shortest ramp up time and greatest maximum production capacity, in order to meet the urgent delivery requirements for these vehicles

Of the initial 1500 CAT I vehicles, all are accounted for. International has an order for 1200 and Force Protection has an order for 300. That leaves 1900 CAT II to be ordered of the initial 4100 vehicle solicitation. Therefore, if the military orders the remaining CAT II vehicles first, then:

BAE’s RG33 CAT II from public information has an excellent chance to get a large order. The vehicle specifications appear to fit the militaries need. However, this vehicle has not been manufactured in quantity and the existing production capacity is not established. BAE in my opinion will not be able to ramp-up production as quickly as International which has a very large US domestic manufacturing capacity. International is also purchasing their armor kits from Plasan Sasa.

Oshkosh’s Bushmaster CAT II does not have the same specifications as other CAT II vehicles. The Bushmaster can survive a 9.5kg high-explosive land mine detonated under any wheel or under the centerline of the vehicle. Force Protection’s vehicles can handle 15kg high-explosive under any wheel and at least 7.5kg anywhere under the vehicle. The centerline is actually the strongest area and 9.5kg means that may translate to 5kg to 6kg anywhere under the vehicle. The Bushmaster specs that I read are not clear on this. Mines are most likely to be detonated under a wheel and IEDs are most likely to be detonated close to the sides of the vehicle. There are not a large number of Bushmasters that have been built and therefore, existing manufacturing capacity to build this vehicle is low. Reliability of the Bushmaster has in the past not been high. In addition, the US military and British militaries purchased the Cougar even though the Bushmaster was available. The British tested the Cougar against the Bushmaster and the Cougar was chosen instead of the Bushmaster. I believe based on survivability, the Bushmaster does not match the Cougar.

PVI’s Golan vehicle is an unknown competitor and production capacity is believed to be low.

FPI/FD has announced a ramp-up plan where FD will produce 200 MRAP vehicles per month by this summer and 400 per month before the end of the year. FPI is already producing 80 to 100 vehicles per month and is ramping up production quickly. Therefore, FD can credibly manufacture 1800 to 2400 CAT I and CAT II vehicles by Feb 2008. However, to continue ramping up FD will need additional contracts in the July or early August time frame in order to hire additional staff and order long lead items needed to manufacture Cougars.

The Cougar has the best safety record proven in Iraq and Afghanistan of any vehicle that vendors are bidding for the MRAP contracts. FD has the largest and most credible ramp-up plan for producing MRAP vehicles. According to the criteria for awarding contracts for MRAP, this means that FD should be awarded contracts to manufacture as many vehicles as they can credibly manufacture.

Therefore, I believe the end result will probably be:
1) If the RG33 passed the military testing, BAE will probably get a large order for part of the remaining 1900 vehicles.

2) PVI with only a limited manufacturing capacity may get an order for some Golan vehicles if those vehicles pass the military testing.

3) If FD is able to manufacture all the remaining vehicles not given to BAE and PVI, then I think there will be no orders for the Bushmaster vehicle.

4) Bushmaster gets no orders unless FD cannot manufacture all the remaining vehicles.

When calculating each manufacturer’s production capacity, the military may be calculating that Force Protection will get additional orders for the Buffalo vehicle and for JERRV Cougars. Force Protection agreed with General Dynamics to bid the Cougar for the MMPV and jointly manufacture it as part of the Joint venture.

As a short term replacement for the Humvee, Force Protection is building a manufacturing facility to manufacture the Cheetah. The Cheetah is much smaller than other MRAP vehicles but has the same blast proof protection. This opportunity is likely on the order of 15,000 to 30,000 vehicles. The Cheetah should not affect FPI’s manufacturing capacity for Cougars because they are building a separate facility for this vehicle.

"The outstanding 4,961 vehicle orders for 2007 will likely go to the five other major contractors who have not yet received a large order, she said. Three or four contracts of Navistar’s size could be awarded in the next two weeks, Millard said. She also predicted that Force Protection’s share of the contracts will eventually dip to 30%."

Das klingt ja fast wie die alten "The Street" Kommentare von Melissa kurz bevor die zum dicken Kaufen geblasen haben und eine 200 prozentige Kurssteigerung prognostizierten.

Ich glaube mal nicht das das DoD 5 verschiedene Fahrzeuge von 5 verschiedenen Herstellern ordern wird, von denen einige bis her nur ein paar Ihrer Fahrzeuge hergestellt haben, wenn es die Möglichkeit gibt von FRPT bis Dezember 2008 12,100 Fahrzeuge herstellen zu lassen.

Also ich halte es für zu 100% ausgeschlossen das FRPT von den restlichen 4961 Fahrzeugen für 2007 kein einziges mehr abbekommt.

Analysts Expect More MRAP Contracts Soon
Monday June 4, 12:32 pm ET
Wall Street Expects Armored Vehicle Contracts in Next 2 Weeks, General Dynamics, BAE on List

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Wall Street analysts predict several contracts will be awarded the next two weeks for armored vehicles needed by U.S. forces in Iraq.

In a note to investors Monday, Stanford Group Co. analyst Josephine Millward, said she expects the Pentagon to dole out three to four contracts worth up to $2.4 billion total for Mine Resistant Ambush Protected, or MRAP vehicles by mid-June.

Millward named the U.S. subsidiary of British defense contractor BAE Systems PLC, Oshkosh, Wis.-based Oshkosh Truck Corp. and Jacksonville, Fla.-based Armor Holdings Inc. as companies likely to get the next MRAP deals.

The military is pressing to get several thousand MRAPs to Iraq as soon as possible because they are considered more effective than Humvees currently in use at protecting soldiers from roadside bombs and other explosive devices.

Cowen and Co. analyst Cai von Rumohr said Falls Church, Va.-based General Dynamics Corp. is well poised to win another MRAP pact as the only company with experience in two lines of armored vehicles: the Marine Corps' Cougar and the Army's RG-31.

"DoD's apparent pattern in making the two major MRAP orders to date with Force Dynamics and Navistar has been to give initial production contracts to vehicles that pass the MRAP tests," said von Rumohr, in a note to investors.

Nine companies were selected earlier this year to each build four test vehicles. A Marine Corps-led joint program is awarding contracts as testing on those units is completed.

The Defense Department wants to buy 7,774 MRAP vehicles expected to cost $8.4 billion this fiscal year. If approved, the military may seek to get funding up to $20 billion in future years for as many as 18,000 MRAPs.

Millward wrote in her note that contractors that do not pass initial testing may team with other approved companies to meet production targets of 1,000 MRAP units per month through year-end.

Two contracts have been awarded this year. Warrenville, Ill.-based Navistar International Corp. won a $623.1 million deal to build 1,200 armored vehicles, and Ladson, S.C.-based Force Protection Industries Inc. earned a $490 million pact to build 1,000 MRAP vehicles. Force Protection is teaming up with General Dynamics under a joint venture called "Force Dynamics" to increase production capacity for future contracts.

The MRAPs, designed with a V-shape hull to repel improvised explosive devices, will replace armored Humvees made by privately held AM General Corp.

General Dynamic shares fell 37 cents to $79.51 in midday trading while Oshkosh shares rose $1.16, or 1.9 percent, to $62.46. Armor Holdings shares dropped 17 cents to $85.78 in midday trading and Force Protection shares jumped $2.54, or 9.2 percent, to $24.88

Force Protection's Shredded Storybook
By Rich Smith June 6, 2007
18 Recommendations
Storybook stock Force Protection (Nasdaq: FRPT) suffered a ripped page last week when its supposed monopoly on producing the next generation of U.S. armored vehicles turned out to be a bit more competitive than anticipated.

The story
For those not familiar with the company, here's the story in a nutshell. For years, U.S. troops serving in Iraq have been killed by insidious IEDS -- improvised explosive devices. These little nasties are nothing more than homemade landmines, but they're taking a horrible toll on troops who travel the roads in vehicles only lightly armored, and sometimes entirely unarmored. Enter Force Protection with a brand-new way of building armored vehicles -- a V-shaped hull that deflects an IED's blast, yielding the much-trumpeted claim that not a single U.S. soldier has been killed while traveling in a Force Protection-produced Buffalo or Cougar armored vehicle.

As marketing campaigns go, it's hard to top this one -- perhaps a little too hard. Because, you see, the military likes the idea of keeping its soldiers alive so much that it can't wait to get more of these vehicles (known generically as mine resistant ambush protected vehicles, or MRAPs) in theater. And the best way to do that ... is to get more companies building them.

Enter Navistar
News reports put the total number of MRAPs desired or required by the military at somewhere between 7,700 and 18,000. In April, Force Protection won a contract to build the first tranche of MRAPs -- 1,000 units in all -- for $490 million. Last week, the contract for a larger tranche was awarded. But it didn't go to Force Protection. It went instead to a company that most analysts considered barely an also-ran in this competition: truckmaker Navistar International.

Why was Navistar not considered a real threat to Force Protection's burgeoning monopoly? Perhaps because the firm is two years out of date with its SEC filings, has been delisted by the NYSE, and now resides on the Pink Sheets. Yeah, I can see how that would raise doubts as to the company's viability. And yet, its "International MaxxPro" MRAP won the second tranche -- all 1,200 units and $623 million in revenues.

While good news for troops, this is turning out to be bad news for Force Protection, for three reasons.

Valuation
Let's start with the obvious: After more than tripling in price over the last 52 weeks, Force Protection is one extremely pricey stock. Compare it to a few of its defense industry peers, and you'll see what I mean.

Market Capitalization

Admittedly, not all of these companies compete directly with Force Protection, and the majority are much larger businesses. Yet, one characteristic they all share in common is strikingly similar valuations. For whatever reason, the investing universe appears to have come to an agreement that the proper valuation on a defense contractor is somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 times its annual profits, and perhaps a bit more than one times its annual sales. But what price does Force Protection command? Three times the usual earnings multiple. Six times the multiple to sales.

Growth
Of course Force Protection backers will respond that the price ratios don't tell the whole story. The real story is growth -- Force Protection's got it, and its rivals don't. Indeed, in projecting its long-term profits growth at 30% per year, analysts believe it will grow its profits twice as fast as the fastest-growing of its peers (Armor Holdings, if you're wondering. And don't bother buying it -- BAE just did.)

Competition
And this is where Navistar's good news spells bad news for Force Protection. As a "storybook stock," much of Force Protection's popularity is predicated on, well, the story. The story of a company that's doing what no one else is doing, saving lives, and growing exponentially in the process. That, plus profits growth more than twice the industry average, appears to justify a stock price three times the industry average, in investors' minds.

Or at least it did. Since the news of Navistar's win broke, Force Protection has lost 14% of its value. The theory, it would appear, is that if erstwhile also-ran Navistar can win a contract and take away business that Force Protection investors thought was theirs for the asking, then chances are good that other companies will do so too. The 18,000 sales that investors had priced into the stock have been ripped from the pages of this storybook story. How the story will end, is anyone's guess.

Buffalo And Cougar Protect Troops From Blasts In Iraq
Wednesday June 6, 7:00 pm ET
Brad Kelly

The war in Iraq rages on. And so does the body count.

The Pentagon confirmed 110 fatalities in May, making it the third deadliest month since the campaign began.

Army Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno, the senior American ground commander, said in a briefing, "What we're finding is the insurgents and the extremists use (improvised explosive devices) as their own little security. And some of them have been somewhat effective, which has raised our death toll."

Back home in the U.S., Force Protection (NasdaqCM:FRPT - News) is committed to providing vehicles that protect the troops.

The face of modern warfare has changed. Land mines, IEDs and rocket-propelled grenades are weapons of choice for terrorists and insurgents. In the war's first year, troops faced new threats with vehicles never intended to withstand blasts from these weapons.

But Force Protection and its line of Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles, or MRAPs, are meeting the urgent demand for vehicles with the strength to keep the troops safe, while allowing them to complete missions.

"Our motto is to protect and save lives," said Force's Vice President Michael Aldrich. "Blast-protection vehicles are the missing arsenal of the U.S. forces. We're trying to change that."

Force's MRAP vehicles have a V-shaped hull that deflects glass and shrapnel away from the soldiers inside. Aldrich said not all V-shape hulls are created equal.

"The real strength is to bend the V-shape hull instead of welding it, which just weakens the hull," he said.

Tough Material

Force outfits each MRAP with bulletproof glass. It uses a specialty grade steel that's blast resistant and pliable. Aldrich would not reveal the type of steel due to security reasons.

The company has two types of MRAPs. The first is the Buffalo, a 23-ton, mine-protected clearance vehicle. It's used to clear traditional minefields, but has been adapted to clear routes along Iraq's deadliest streets.

The second vehicle is the Cougar, used by the Army Corps. of Engineers' bomb experts. It's a bit smaller than the Buffalo, but deflects blasts just as well.

Aldrich said Force's roughly 600 vehicles in Iraq have withstood more than 2,000 blasts. He said prior to Force's first vehicles deployed in Iraq, the Marines were losing one bomb squad a week. Since the arrival of its Cougar in October 2004, there's been just one fatality in its MRAPs.

Force shipped 195 vehicles in the first quarter, including 13 Buffalos and 182 Cougars, an increase of more than 300% from a year ago.

It raised first-quarter sales by 188% to $100.2 million, reflecting contract awards received in the second half of 2006. It was the fifth straight quarter of triple-digit growth.

In the last two months, Force's stock has shot up 80% to 30.27. But after rival Navistar International was awarded the largest MRAP contract worth more than $600 million, Force's stock has fallen 19% from its all-time high.

Aldrich said today Force builds 90 vehicles a month, but will lift that to 200 by the end of this year. It expects to build 400 a month by early 2008 and ramp that up to 800 by the end of 2008. He said its joint venture with General Dynamics (NYSE:GD - News), called Force Dynamics, will help reach its production goal.

"Every time we increase capacity, the U.S. buys every vehicle," he said. "But to get above 400 a month, we need to get an additional order, which we might see in the third quarter."

Defense Secretary Robert Gates recently said the military's MRAP program is the highest priority for the Department of Defense. Force is poised to answer the call to make more blast-resistant vehicles.

Aldrich said Force Dynamics is ready to produce 12,000 MRAPs by the end of 2008. But he said it needs to get Marine Corps orders before it can ramp up production.

Analyst Joe Maxa of Dougherty & Co. said the ongoing push to evolve the MRAP program will help Force.

Force has been awarded 1,325 of the 1,595 MRAP contracts to date, which is valued at nearly $800 million, Maxa says.

In April, the Navy gave Force Protection a $481 million order, the second largest to date, to deliver 1,000 MRAPs. Its joint venture will help build those vehicles.

"The company is awarded most of the military's contracts because its (MRAP) vehicles are battle tested and field proven," Maxa said.

Marine Corps Plan

The company's first MRAP vehicle hit the ground in Iraq in late 2004. The Pentagon was criticized for not providing U.S. troops with MRAPs and has since increased the number of orders.

The Marine Corps is seeking to double the size of its MRAP program to meet short-term combat needs. The Marines and Army want to buy 7,774 MRAP vehicles at an expected cost of $8.4 billion.

Force has already spent more money on research and development in the first quarter than it did all last year. Force's R&D spending hit $4.84 million last quarter, up more than 630% from a year ago.

Most R&D spending was for its new Cheetah vehicle, which is still in the prototype stage. The new vehicle is smaller, lighter and faster than Force's other two MRAPs.

The spending increase was one reason the company missed analysts' views in the first quarter. While Force reversed a 3-cent loss a year ago to post a gain of 4 cents a share, it missed views by 9 cents.

While the Iraq War has driven up demand for MRAPs, Force should see strength in orders continue well after the war.

The military's Joint Light Tactical Vehicle program has plans to replace its line of Humvees because they cannot withstand the blasts from IEDs. Maxa says once the Cheetah is ready for production, it should receive the bulk of the replacement orders.

"The U.S. military's plans to replace Humvees will bode well for the Cheetah, which should be a big opportunity for Force over the next 10 to 15 years" Maxa said. "Force can also sell the Cheetah to other NATO allies because it is not built to U.S. specs."

The Cheetah costs $250,000 to $300,000. That price is less than the cost of the Buffalo and Cougar at $850,000 and $500,000, respectively. Force isn't the only company vying for replacement contracts. Competitors include Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT - News), Oshkosh Truck (NYSE:OSK - News) and BAE Systems.

In order to meet the needs of the U.S. forces, the company announced in March that it is spending $4.1 million to buy land, buildings and equipment in South Carolina for research, development and testing.

"The first rule of first aid is to stop the bleeding," Aldrich said. "Our MRAPs would stop the spilling of American blood in Iraq."

soll das heißen, man hofft jetzt auf Aufträge aus anderen Staaten weil die US-Aufträge doch nicht so kommen wie gedacht?

Natürlich war es klar, daß Force nicht alles machen kann, das habe ich letztes Jahr schon erwähnt, aber das dann einer der bisher gar nicht auf der Liste war den bisher größten Auftrag bekommt damit hat wohl keiner gerechnet, oder war Navistar schon mal im Gespräch.

Der Kursverlauf ist also kein Wunder, wäre sicher nicht erfreulich wenn man die Produktion ausweitet um 10000 Fahrzeuge herzustellen und dann bleibt es bei der Hälfte oder weniger.

Ich habe trotzdem gekauft und hoffe es war kein Fehler.

Aber es macht mir hier keiner weis, daß er er nicht erschrocken ist als die Nachricht kam, oder daß damit jemand gerechnet hat.

[BR101]

Kam soeben über die Ticker bei Bloomberg:

Force Protection would raise output to 800 trucks a month, FRPT would build trucks with General Dynamics (GD), requires additional orders to boost output

Sieht so aus, als wenn FRPT keinen Bock mehr hat, sich von den Medien und dem DoD verarschen zu lassen. Deshalb wohl auch das Upgrade für GD heute. Die beiden Partner haben ihre mächtigen behaarten Eier gezeigt.

800 Fahrzeuge im Monat sind angeboten. Es sollen nur Aufträge gegeben werden....

Force Protection Offers to Double Blast-Resistant Truck Output

Force Protection Offers to Double Blast-Resistant Truck Output
2007-06-07 10:15 (New York)


By Edmond Lococo
June 7 (Bloomberg) -- Force Protection Inc., a maker of
mine-resistant trucks, has offered a plan to the U.S. military to
double output during the next 18 months to speed delivery of the
vehicles to troops in Iraq.
The company offered to produce a total of 12,000 of the Mine
Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles, or MRAPs, by the end of 2008
through a joint venture with General Dynamics Corp., Michael
Aldrich, a vice president of Ladson, South Carolina-based Force
Protection said in an interview today.
Reaching the target would require boosting manufacturing to
800 vehicles a month, compared with current plans for 400,
Aldrich said. U.S. forces suffered in May their deadliest month
in Iraq since November 2004, and Defense Secretary Robert Gates
said May 9 that faster acquisition of blast-resistant trucks is
the Pentagon's top procurement priority.
Force Protection has received the second-largest order for
the trucks to date: a $481.4 million contract for 1,000 of the
vehicles awarded in April. It produces the trucks through its
joint venture with Falls Church, Virginia-based General Dynamics.
The largest MRAP order so far went to Navistar International
Corp. in Warrenville, Illinois, last month for $623 million to
build 1,200 trucks.
Force Protection won't raise output without additional
military contracts, Aldrich said.
``It would be improper for a publicly traded company to ramp
up on its own initiative and spend a lot of shareholder money
possibly in the wrong direction,'' Aldrich said.
U.S. Marine Corps spokesman Bill Johnson-Miles said he
didn't immediately have information on the production plan.
Shares of Force Protection gained $1, or 4.2 percent, to
$25.12 at 10:04 a.m. in Nasdaq Stock Market composite trading.
Before today, they had risen 39 percent so far this year.

Der Artikel ist ja echt "Pistole auf die Brust" fürs DoD, ich glaub aber nicht das die sich davon stark beeindrucken lassen, entweder glauben sie den prognostizierten Produktionszahlen oder nicht.

Gestern wurden ja in einem anderen Artikel nur noch von 3 Big Contact Gainer gesprochen, könnte mir da gut eine Gemeinschaftsproduktion des Cougar von BAE/AH, GD und FRPT vorstellen aber irgendwie passt das nicht mit den 12,000 von FD zusammen, wenn die 12,000 in 18 Monaten produzieren können brauchen sie anscheinend keine Partner mehr.

Contracts Coming - Competition To Get Scraps

The competition is still many steps behind. Apparently, from the contracts that have been awarded, Cat II is likely going all to FPI. Oshkosh's Bushmaster and Navistar's MaxxPro are the other major competitors for Cat 1. The competition will only have competitive offerings for the Cat 1 vehicle only until the Cheetah goes into full production this in the autumn of 2007.

Aberdeen Testing is done. FPI is meeting all the production goals of the April 23rd 1000 Vehicle Low Rate Initial Production stress test. A full rate production contract for Cougars is right around the corner...And an initial Cheetah Order is not far behind!

Navistar Contract

Navistar's vehicle performed well enough in testing & soldiers would rather be in a Navistar vehicle then in a humvee.

However, the Navistar contract is entirely political. Sen. Lott said, "I've worked with the Marine Corps to ensure this competition was a fair one which gave West Point's work force an opportunity to participate in this very important contract.
---When the former Senate Majority Leader, present Senate Republican Whip, is ensuring this competition gives Mississippi's work force an opportunity to participate, he is actually directing the Defense Department to award his constituents a contract.

This isn't a random truck company producing an approvable MRAP. Navistar is only a truck company but they partnered with Israeli firm Plasan Sasa for the armoring of the truck. Plasan Sasa has been making up-armoring kits for the Marine Corps' MTVR trucks for several years now, including contracts with Oshkosh. So their offering has always been legitimate.

Others Getting Contracts

Why have the no other contractors received follow up LRIP's?

BAE Systems

On February 14th, BAE Systems received a $55,366,500 delivery order for 15 Category I and 75 Category II MRAP vehicles. That was almost 4 months ago! BAE's RG-33 vehicles were not prototypes, and they were based on the RG-31. They had production facilities. So, either they have been very slow to deliver these 15 Cat 1's and 75 cat II's or the Government doesn't want any more...and they apparently don't have powerful senators fighting for them.

General Dynamics

On February 26th, GD received an $11,014,290 delivery order for 10 Category I and 10 Category II MRAP vehicles. That too was almost 4 months ago! GD's RG-31 vehicles were not prototypes. They have production facilities and they still delivered their prototypes late!
So, either they have been very slow to deliver these 10 Cat 1's and 10 cat II's, they've been too busy fixing their piece of crap Stryker vehicles, or the Government doesn't want any more...and they too apparently don't have powerful senators fighting for them to get MRAP without FPI. The Government knows GD is FPI's partner and will not want to hurt Cougar production. If they were to receive contracts they should have been in by now.

Oshkosh

On February 26th, Oshkosh Truck Corporation received a $30,619,900 delivery order for 100 Category I MRAP vehicles. That too was almost 4 months ago! Oshkosh's Bushmaster vehicles were not prototypes. They have had active production facilities. So, either they have been very slow to deliver these 100 Cat 1's or the Government doesn't want any more...and they too apparently don't have powerful senators fighting for them. If they were to receive contracts they should have been in by now.

Protected Vehicles Inc.

On February 26th, Protected Vehicles, Inc. received $37,444,440 delivery order for 60 Category II MRAP vehicles.. That too was almost 4 months ago! Either they have been very slow to deliver these 60 Cat II's or the Government doesn't want any more...and they too apparently don't have powerful senators fighting for them. If they were to receive contracts they should have been in by now. The Government may feel sorry for them and send a small contract their way.

Cheetah is the Future!

The Cheetah is "Awesome!" according to the soldier in this must see NBC news segment that aired May 25th. Not good, not I like it, not performs according to the specifications..."Awesome!" No PR could even touch something as simple as the "Awesome" quote.

With full production starting in the fall, contracts should be issued soon. Typically contracts are issued 3 months prior to delivery of initial units. So an out of the blue, sole source, initial Cheetah contract could be awarded at any time likely for only 100-500 vehicles. But that would be all it takes to accelerate the PPS to new highs again.

Remember the May 18th General Conway interview:
Q I just wanted to follow up on the MRAP. There's some downsides. It's -- as far as I understand -- a slower vehicle than the humvee, it's a bigger vehicle, it's not a vehicle particularly suited for off road. I mean are we spending all this money, all this procurement effort, on a vehicle that has a very specific use that may be well-suited to the current battle, but by the time we actually have these vehicles built, we will have gotten something that won't be as useful in the next battle?
GEN. CONWAY: I don't know that any of those things you said are accurate. Now, you got three different sizes of MRAPS, and yeah, the largest size is larger than the humvee, okay? But the one that we're most interested in comes as a replacement to the humvee. If you checked our buy, we've got a couple thousand and more that are going to be replacements for the humvee. And it certainly has to have an off-road capability. It will do anything that the humvee will do.

The General is definitely aware of the Cheetah. When he said "it" and not "they", he had in mind only one vehicle - and that's the Cheetah!

He's telling us there's a 2000 vehicle order coming for a replacement vehicle for the Humvee!!! Could this be the Cheetah? -It has to be, no other could be a replacement Humvee! This will be HUGE if (when) it is.
& when you combine all that with the specs for the Cheetah on Force Protection's website now say under Roles "MRAP CAT I".

FPI is still working to make Cheetah better. Hybrid Diesel technology on the Cheetah will likely be in future versions. Not to save the environment but too provide a separate system that together substantially increase horse power, all-wheel drive capability and acceleration. Oshkosh is working on Diesel hybrids, Force Protection is as well with the partnership with Quantum.

Good buying opportunity here.

Sobald hier ein eindeutiges Zeichen kommt das FRPT vom FY 07 Kuchen ein stattliches Stück abbekommt wird Force in 2 Handelstagen locker über die 30 $ fliegen.

In freudiger Erwartung auf diesen Tag...


Ansonsten kann ich mir echt nicht vorstellen das für das gesamte FY07-Budget für MRAP nur die 1000 Stück-Order vom April für FRPT sein sollte.
Eine ERklärung wäre dann vielleicht das der Einluß von Lobbyisten der Großen den anspruch auf das beste Fahrzeug Cougar, Buffalo verdrängen...

Ladies and Gentlemen, Let Me Share What I am Hearing
Guys, I post very infrequently but I want to share what I am hearing.

Apparently Navistar has a full page add promoting their MRAP in todays Wall Street Journal and that has contributed to an excuse by many to sell FRPT today which was excacperated once we broke the 50 day moving average. Here is the good news, apparently there were 3 levels of tests perfomed, Navistars vehicle only passed level one and failed level 2 and 3. Based on this I would not expect them to be a big competitor to us. Our vehicle, the couger passed all 3 tests! It gets better, I have heard that the DOD is pissed at BAE systems, their vehicle apparently failed all 3 tests. That would indicate to me that they are not going to be as big of a contender in the next round of contract awards, as many are fearing.

Now three short term issues that I am hearing, FK has been wanting to step down for a while now and this next meeting was meant to be his last. Personally I do not see this as an issue we need to worry about. Second, we are behind where we expected to be on Cheetah production. If it is only a quarter or so I do not see this as a problem. Third, General Dynamics has not yet produced one vehicle yet under our JV. I was surprised to hear this, however on reflection, as long as we are able to produce everything we have contracts for this will not matter. Furthermore the defence dept and pentagon are now making MRAPs their highest priority. There is no way that FRPT could have come out and made an offer to double production from the planned 400 per month to 800 per month, or 12,100 vehicles from july 1, 07 through end of 2008 without the consent and full agreement of General Dynamics!

Now take this for what it is worth, I have heard that one of the subcontractors on the cougers has been told that they should be gearing up because a contract for up to 3000 cougers is expected shortly.

I hope this helps.

6/7/07 InsideDefense article - Army is revising their MRAP requirements and may be ordering in excess of 17,700 vehicles as originally discussed

Thursday, June 07, 2007

Army Leaders Due in Iraq to Add Up MRAP Needs; Program Could Grow Even Larger



June 7, 2007 -- Army leaders are heading to Iraq and Kuwait on a mission to determine exactly how many Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles the service needs, an assessment that could propel the total size of the MRAP program well beyond 23,000 vehicles and the price tag north of $23 billion, according to defense sources.



Adm. Edmund Giambastiani, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Pentagon’s top requirements officer, said in an interview with InsideDefense.com on June 5 that he expects the results of the Army’s analysis to be considered by the Joint Requirements Oversight Council -- which he chairs -- “in the next month.”



A “high-level” team from the Department of the Army, according to a source familiar with the plan, is scheduled “within the week” to head to Baghdad and meet with top brass at Multi-National Corps Iraq, who earlier this year asked the Pentagon for 17,700 MRAP vehicles, enough to replace every armored humvee used by Army personnel in Iraq.



The Army’s deputy chief of staff for operations and plans office, the G-3 in Pentagon parlance, plans to review that requirement as well as the attendant plans for employing the new vehicles. The size of the requirement is expected -- with possible minor revisions -- to be endorsed, according to Pentagon officials.



“On top of that number, as any prudent Army planners would do, we will account for anticipated losses, for having an operational reserve fleet, both forward as well as in the rear in depots,” said the source familiar with the trip’s goal. “And we’ve got to account for training both in home station as well as in the institutional Army.”



Army G-3 officials plan to meet with counterparts at the Third Army, which overseas the services’ activities throughout U.S. Central Command’s area of responsibility, to discuss the previously unreported additional requirement for MRAP vehicles required by the service’s Training and Doctrine Command and the Army Materiel Command.



Among the details to be reviewed during these deliberations in Kuwait are plans for logistics support, training on the new vehicles and plans for swapping them out with the armored humvee fleet.



“There is going to probably be more of an Army need than strictly an operational need for employment in theater,” said the source. “But that’s where the G-3 is interested in sorting out how and in what quantities they will be used to help us prioritize not only the numbers and the procurement ramp, but also where to send them.”



In early May, Defense Secretary Robert Gates expressed concern that the Army was seeking only 2,500 MRAP vehicles as part of a total program to field -- at that point -- 7,774 of the blast-resistant platforms to the services and special operations forces.



While the Army operates a fleet of roughly 1,300 vehicles optimized to defeat mines, they are used largely for route clearance. The Marine Corps in January set a goal to buy enough MRAP vehicles to protect all personnel that leave a fortified base in Anbar province, a decision that resulted in the service’s seeking 3,700 vehicles.



Gates, according to Pentagon documents and sources, wanted to know why the Army wasn’t taking a similar approach.



Acting Army Secretary Pete Geren, in a May 15 memo to Gates, explained steps the service was taking to recalibrate its MRAP requirement in light of requests from commanders in Iraq for 17,700 of the new armored vehicles.



The Army, he wrote in a memo obtained by InsideDefense.com, is sending a team to Iraq “to better understand these requirements and future use of the [up-armored humvee] fleet, and our combat vehicle fleet,” which includes Abrams tanks, Bradley fighting vehicles and Stryker vehicles.



In that memo, first reported by Bloomberg, Geren notes the cost for the 17,700 vehicles alone through fiscal year 2009 is $19.4 billion.



While the entire Marine Corps’ MRAP buy is set to be financed through supplemental appropriations, Army and officials in the Office of the Secretary of Defense and in Congress are not sure at this juncture where another $20 billion will be found to pay for the Army’s growing MRAP fleet.



Defense budget officials in the Pentagon -- in the Army, the Joint Staff and in the Office of the Secretary of Defense -- expect that once the Army solidifies its new MRAP requirement, the Defense Department will make significant revisions to its fiscal year 2008 supplemental spending request and forward an additional request, including money for MRAP vehicles, to Congress this summer.



Already, Army officials say they are conducting internal budget drills to figure out how to shift funds within the FY-08 supplemental spending request in a bid to free up some of the $8.1 billion that Geren told Gates in the May 15 memo will be required to buy 9,996 MRAPs.



Meanwhile, the Marine Corps, which is spearheading MRAP procurement for all the services, continues to award contracts. Last week it handed down a $623 million deal to International Military and Government, of Warrenville, IL, to build 1,200 MRAP vehicles over the next eight months.



That award brought the total number of MRAP vehicles ordered since the Marine Corps launched the program in November to 2,839. With one or two more production contracts, the Marine Corps in the coming days is expected to place orders for its entire requirement.



Defense industry officials are closely eyeing which vehicle the Army, which will be the largest MRAP buyer, will select. The stakes for that contract award -- which could come as soon as this month -- are high. Geren, in his memo last month to Gates, said “the Army’s intent is to minimize the variants of MRAP vehicles it acquires, thereby reducing sustainment and training costs.”

MRAP More Probabilities and Analysis

Under MRAP, the military announced that they would purchase three categories of vehicles called CAT 1, CAT 2 and CAT 3. All three types of vehicles are mine and IED resistant. CAT 1 is mainly for urban combat operations and can carry a minimum of six personnel. CAT 2 is a multi-mission vehicle that can be used for troop transport, convoy escort, ambulance EOD and etc. CAT 2 vehicles can carry 10 or more personnel. CAT 3 is a Mine/IED clearance vehicle and the Buffalo manufactured by FPI has been named as the sole source CAT 3 vehicle.

The Defense Supplemental bill should cover more than the original requested 4100 vehicles but not the entire 7700 vehicles. The Defense Supplemental bill has around 3 billion dollars for MRAP. On average, the cost of vehicles has been around 500,000 each but this does not include standard deployment items or maintenance items. It also does not include military equipment such as weapons mounts radios and etc. If the military purchases the other items with the 3 billion for MRAP, then the actual cost to the military to deploy the vehicles goes up to around $700,000 to $800,000. The military may take the weapons mounts and radios from other vehicles that they will retire. If so, the cost to deploy the average vehicle so far ordered might be around $600,000 to $700,000. Therefore, the military has the funds to order up to approximately 4500 +- 500 vehicles. There are a few assumptions underlying this:

A. The military reuses some military equipment.
B. The military does not use other funds to pay for standard deployment items.
C. The original 1000 vehicle order to FPI was partly funded by retargeting funds from other projects. It is unknown how much of that money will be returned to the original project.

The list of companies that competed for MRAP contracts were: Armored Holdings, BAE Systems, Force Dynamics, General Dynamics Land Systems, General Purpose Vehicles, International Military and Government, Oshkosh Truck Corporation, Protected Vehicles, Inc, and Textron. Force Dynamics (FD) is the joint venture between General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) and Force Protection, Inc (FPI). FD will bid on MRAP opportunities available for various versions of the Cougar and GDLS and FPI will share in production and profits.

Prior to the testing of vehicles at Aberdeen, based on the militaries assessment of vehicles, some initial Limited Rate Initial Production (LRIP) orders were given. These orders were issued to accelerate the production of vehicle the military had assessed as lower risk designs for which the initial assessment was that they would likely pass testing. These LRIP orders were given as follows:

1) Force Dynamics received orders for 60 CAT I's and 65 CAT II's ($67.4 million)
2) BAE received orders for 15 CAT I's and 75 CAT II's ($55.5 million)
3) PVI received orders for 60 CAT II's ($37.4 million)
4) Oshkosh received orders for 100 CAT I's ($30.6 million)
5) GDLS-Canada received orders for 10 CAT I's and 10 CAT IIs ($11 million).

After testing at Aberdeen:

1) Force Dynamics received an order for 700 CAT II and 300 CAT I MRAP vehicles
2) International Military and Government received an order for 1200 CAT I MRAP vehicles

The question is who gets the remaining orders?

In the original terms for the MRAP contract, the military listed the following two main criteria for a vendor selection:

1) The Contractor or Contractors vehicle systems that demonstrate the best overall performance in PVT testing (with survivability being the highest priority)

2) The Contractor or Contractors that demonstrate the greatest capability to produce and deliver vehicles with the shortest ramp up time and greatest maximum production capacity, in order to meet the urgent delivery requirements for these vehicles.

Testing is done at Aberdeen Proving ground: http://www.defenselink.mil/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=46087

Since the original terms of the MRAP contracts were announced, Defense Secretary Gates has prioritized the acquisition of MRAP making it the priority one Defense acquisition project and on June 1, gave the program a “DX” rating. The “DX” rating requires industry to give the MRAP project priority over commercial orders and over other Defense related projects that have a normal DO rating.

BAE’s RG33 CAT II from public information has an excellent chance to get a large order and was expected to get an early order for MRAP vehicles. It received the second largest pre-Aberdeen contract award after Force Protection and delivered it’s vehicles on time. The fact that BAE has not yet received an order is feeding speculation that their vehicle failed testing at Aberdeen. There have also been reports that some manufacturers have asked for additional time to correct deficiencies in their vehicles and it is thought that BAE might be one of these manufacturers.

The RG33 and Force Protection’s Cougar and Buffalo vehicle are based on designs that originated in South Africa. Force Protection has exclusive licenses to some of the South African technology for MRAP vehicles that are manufactured outside of South Africa and those licenses are not available to BAE. Most of the development of the RG33 is reported to have occurred in 2006. If BAE’s vehicle failed testing, it is possible that any new technology that they recently developed for MRAP was not as effective as BAE hoped.

International’s vehicle the “MaxxPro” was not considered likely to get a large contract this quickly. International does not have experience making any type of armored vehicle and its vehicles have never been in the field. However, they received the largest single order to date of 1200 vehicles.

International does have a credible ability to manufacture many vehicles quickly due to their large size. International’s deficiencies in armor development were addressed by purchasing the armor for the vehicles from Plasan Sasa which is manufacturer of many types of composite armor.

The main criticisms of the order to International is that repairs to vehicles using the type of armor made by Plasan Sasa will be much more expensive than repairing a vehicle such as those made by Force Protection. Another criticism of the order is that there are no vehicles of this type in the field so it is unknown how they will perform in practice. Internationals vehicles are also more expensive than Force Protection vehicles.

Oshkosh’s Bushmaster CAT II vehicle does not have the same specifications as other CAT II vehicles. The Bushmaster can survive a 9.5kg high-explosive land mine detonated under any wheel or under the centerline of the vehicle. Force Protection’s vehicles can handle 15kg high-explosive under any wheel and at least 7.5kg anywhere under the vehicle. The centerline is actually the strongest area and 9.5kg means that may translate to 5kg to 6kg anywhere under the vehicle. The Bushmaster specs that I read are not clear on this. Mines are most likely to be detonated under a wheel and IEDs are most likely to be detonated close to the sides of the vehicle. There are not a large number of Bushmasters that have been built and therefore, existing manufacturing capacity to build this vehicle is low. Reliability of the Bushmaster has in the past not been high. In addition, the US military and British militaries purchased the Cougar even though the Bushmaster was available. The British tested the Cougar against the Bushmaster and the Cougar was chosen instead of the Bushmaster. I believe based on survivability, the Bushmaster does not match the Cougar.

PVI’s Golan vehicle is an unknown competitor and production capacity is believed to be low. The Golan has armor tiles that can be replaced. The main armor tile on the Golan is made from a type of reactive armor. In other words, it explodes outwards to deflect the force of IEDs and RPGs directed against the vehicle. The Golan was mainly developed by Rafael that has a very good reputation for armoring. The problem with using reactive armor is that if it is hit by something which triggers the reactive armor, soldiers close to the vehicle or civilians close to the vehicle may be injured or killed by the additional explosive power of the armor.

GDLS has not gotten an order but their RG31 has been relatively effective in the field but not as effective as the Cougar.

AH – Believed to have no suitable vehicle and have indicated that they are committed to relationship with other MRAP vendors as subcontractor.

Textron – Vehicle failed testing

General Purpose vehicle – No Vehicle

The Cougar has the best safety record proven in Iraq and Afghanistan of any vehicle that vendors are bidding for the MRAP contracts. The joint venture between General Dynamics and Force protection FD has the largest and most credible ramp-up plan for producing MRAP vehicles. According to the criteria for awarding contracts for MRAP, this means that FD should be awarded contracts to manufacture as many vehicles as they can credibly manufacture.

As reported in Forbes, “Under a joint venture with General Dynamics, Force Protection will be able to deliver 12,100 vehicles between July 2007 and December 2008, Aldrich said. "We have reason to be wildly optimistic that we will receive more orders," he said. "We have passed the test, we have more than quadrupled production and we are ahead on all the contracts we are on right now." http://www.forbes.com/markets/2007/06/04/force-protection-ud…

Therefore, I believe the end result will probably be:
1) If the RG33 passes military testing, BAE will probably get a large order for part of the remaining vehicles to be ordered with the funding the military currently has.

2) PVI with only a limited manufacturing capacity may get an order for some Golan vehicles if those vehicles pass the military testing.

3) Bushmaster – has been passed over in the past for orders for MRAP, the specs are not as good as other vehicles and has a low production capability and therefore probably gets few or no orders.

4) GDLS may get orders for RG31.

5) Force Dynamics gets the remaining orders. Given that Force Protection has announced that they can deliver 12,100 vehicles by December 2008, and has the best vehicle, it seems likely that the Defense Department will at least in part take them up on the offer and provide Force Dynamics with the remaining orders. The remaining orders might be larger than expected depending on which vehicles did not pass testing.

The Defense Department would be under a lot of political pressure if they don’t provide Force Protection with enough orders to continue ramping up if other vehicles perform poorly in Iraq and Afghanistan. The question will be asked is why didn’t they buy as many vehicles as possible from their proven vendor? Therefore, I think it is extremely likely that FD gets some very large orders in July or early August at the latest.

MRAP TASK FORCE..Was To Report to Gates by June 08

Guys, when I step back and review what has happened over the past few weeks and months and what is most likely to occur going forward, I am hard pressed to recall an investment opportunity that offers such a tremendous risk reward profile than FRPT. The upside potential from here is simply huge and I expect that we will be aquired by General Dynamis before the year is out.

FRPT with its offerings has been consistently at the right place at the right time, one or more steps ahead of the competition and almost uncanily one step ahead of the militarys understanding of their own needs. Our product is the "Gold Standard". Other companies were given the chance to be tested at Aberdeen to see if they could duplicate the couger, because it had become apparent that the requirement for MRAPs was way greater than anybody in the military had previously thought. The requirement is so large that there is no way that even if politics was taken out of the equation and the govt did not feel the need to not put all eggs in one basket that FRPT could satisfy this demand on its own.

Yesterday, the MRAP task force was to report to Gates. On June 01 he designated a DX rating to the MRAP program. Gates said, I believe on May 24 or May 30 "The requirement - the only requirementthat's important to me now is to produce as many of these vehicles and get them into the field as fast as possible, and to ramp up, to make selections and get the production under way and get these things into the field." "In terms of what the long term plan will be, I want to deal with what we can get done in the next six to 12 months first."

Phase 1 of the Aberdeen testing (if not phase 2 and 3 also) is over. I think the reason Aldrich and FRPT were surprised that Navistar got such a large order is that they got it after only passing phase one had been completed. With the Govt and DOD under so much pressure, I think it is understandable that they took such a gamble and awarded this contract. The fact that BAE did not recieve such a contract and have not been short listed by te british in the past few days speaks volumes. I sincerely believe that my source is correct and BAE failed the phase one test. I do not know what happens behind the scenes or if the DOD dgags its feet, issues smaller size contracts to others (including FRPT) while giving BAE more time to fix its problems. What I do know is that if BAE did fail the first phase you can bet your last share of FRPT stock that FRPT management is aware of this. This is why I believe on June 07, one day before the MRAP task force is due to report to Gates, FRPT is reported by Bloomberg to have told the DOD that they can now commit to upping their production plans from what was to be increasing output from 400 per month to 800 per month, so long as they have the orders first. They have offered to produce 12,100 from this july through Dec 2008 and can do so largely through their JV with General Dynamics, Force Dynamics. Perhaps this explains Aldrich's comments earlier in the week when he says "We have reason to be wildly optimistic that we will recieve more orders,"...Speculating here but could he be wildly optimistic because he knows BAE failed the test and he knows the outcome of that failure!

That stupid chick, the ex Enron finance employee, Josephin Millard and people like her can write all they want but when all is said and done it is going to be very hard for the military to turn down our 12,100 offer, especially in light of yesterdays army task force news that they may need even more than the 17,000 or so vehicles they require.

Now if what I heard yesterday that one of our suppliers relayed that they had been told that they should be prepared because we could be expecting an order of up to 3,000 vehicles, the stock price will take care of itself in the very near future. Once these orders begin to flow how long before General Dynamics snaps us up.

Good luck and a good weekend to all
