While the Korean military has looked to conduct in house developments, there are some programs where the cost to develop combined with unit price makes the projects almost not viable. With this understanding, Kia Defense will be looking to form a joint-venture with BAE called BAE Korea that will be split 50/50. From this partnership, there will be a procurement request for 120 RG-33, 140 RG-33L, and 90 RG-33L HAGA. In addition, we would like to procure 150 RG-35 in the 6x6 configuration with hybrid-electric drive. This will bridge the gap between our IMV's and our wheeled and tracked AFVs. These MRAPs will be perfect for our environment to conduct rapid deployments, patrols, and international operations. For the RG-35, we will have 60 light gun turrets, 60 medium gun turrets, and 30 indirect fire weapons. While half of each version will have the additional armor added without reducing performance, we will have the armor sets for the other units ready for installation. These procurements will provide us with 500 total MRAPs, which should be enough with our current mission sets. BAE Korea will continue to provide maintenance and parts for these vehicles as well as replacements. We also hope that through this joint venture we can provide critical upgrades to the product line.
