The Buffalo A2 mine-protected clearance vehicle (MPCV) is a six-wheel heavily armoured EOD vehicle manufactured by Force Protection, which was acquired by General Dynamics in 2011. The Buffalo was inspired by the four-wheel South African Casspir, a landmine-protected armoured personnel carrier (APC). It is the largest Mine Protected Clearance Vehicle (MPCV) vehicle in Force Protection's line-up, followed by the Cougar (MRAP) and the Ocelot light protected patrol vehicle (LPPV).   

Buffalo’s armoured V-shaped hull directs an explosion on the ground away from the vehicle. The Buffalo provides powerful ballistic and blast protection, combined with the unique technology to detect dangerous ordinance. The Buffalo features a 30ft robotic arm and iron claw for ordinance disposal and route clearance. The claw is mounted with a camera and sensory equipment. The vehicle’s hydraulically-driven articulated claw can dig, extract, and remove items from the soil.

The Buffalo is equipped with a Caterpillar C13 ACERT 12.5l engine. It provides 440hp at 1,800rpm. The engine makes 1,483 torque at 1,400rpm. It can be driven at a maximum speed of 55mph. Buffalo’s maximum range is 300 miles with an 85gal fuel tank.
