DND Protecting LAV II's (From Underneath)

In addition to the other work being done to break up IED-making networks and share information about IEDs, DND is also working on protecting the troops traveling in vehicles being targeted by IEDs - this, from Canada's public tendering web site MERX (PDF of public notice here here if link doesn't work):
This requirement is for the Department of National Defence (DND) to procure Belly Armour Kits (BAK) which will provide enhanced armour protection to the LAV II fleet of vehicles, including the Coyote and Bison armoured vehicle. The kit will be installed on the LAV II armoured vehicles deployed in operational theatres where the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) and mine threats are considered high.
Good to see.
