What's Behind Force Protection's Significant Share Price Drop?

"Dear" Engrkenn! Please verify your "scientific" data regarding the old orders FRPT had. These orders tied up all Force Protection' production lines till the end of year 2008. This was No. 1 factor why FRPT was not a major player in the recent contracts' disbursement. As a structural Engineer and an Artillery Officer in reserve, I can tell you that the V-shape hull is the best protection and most advanced design that can withstand the explosion forces. All designs that propose to bolt the armor panels to the carcass (NAVZ) will not provide the same level of protection, not even close!

Manny, very good article and I agree with most of your positions! Though, there are a few more things to consider to the equation why we (FRPT) did not get the majority of orders! Don't worry, we'll get them!!!
