The RG33 AUV is a mine resistant 6x6 cargo carrier, featuring a utility deck to haul specialized cargo and two trailers for unique roles and missions. The MRAP AUV leverages existing RG33 MRAP survivability technology. As of August 2009, 40 RG33 AUV vehicles have been ordered, with deliveries scheduled in the second quarter of 2009.
