By GlobalDataThe MRZR D is a highly capable, low-cost vehicle that lightens the load and enhances agility across the marine force.
Salas added: "The two and four seat MRZR Ds can be quickly internally transported by V-22 and larger helicopters, allowing the vehicles to support Marine forces in almost any location."
The MRZR is a flexible and modular platform that can support a wide range of uses uch as rapid personnel deployment, command and control, casualty evacuation, and supply transport missions.
The UTVs are affordable, reliable and can be easily maintained throughout their lifecycle with a commercial supply chain and the Polaris global network.
