The Army is looking for a new Arctic all-terrain vehicle as it seeks to bolster its presence there.
The plan is buy 163 Cold Weather All-Terrain Vehicles, and the choice has narrowed to two prototypes.
As the Arctic ice is receding and Russian and Chinese projection of power in the region increases, the need for upgrading the military s all-terrain vehicles is apparent.
With the Army s new strategy for the Arctic released back in March, the plan is to modernize and increase the US presence in the region. Therefore, the Army is searching for a new all-terrain vehicle for use in the Arctic.
