History
Developed by Navistar Defense in collaboration with Israel's Plasan Sasa, the MaxxPro was rapidly designed in response to the urgent need for armored vehicles capable of protecting troops from asymmetric threats during the Iraq War. It officially entered service with the United States Marine Corps in 2007 and was quickly deployed to active combat zones in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Over 9,000 units were produced, proving highly effective at saving lives during convoy security and patrol missions. Today, while the U.S. military has phased out some units, many MaxxPros remain in active service globally, including significant recent deployments with Ukrainian armed forces and various domestic law enforcement agencies.
