Mt Airy, North Carolina (MMD Newswire) August 20, 2010 -- Granite Tactical Vehicles announces its intentions to market its Light Armored Vehicle known as the, "ROCK," in the United States. After more than 6 years, and millions of logged miles of proven service in both Iraq and Afghanistan, the ROCK is ready to meet the apparent and increasing needs that threaten the US borders. These current threats to Homeland Security have created high interest in the ROCK's abilities and performance.

The ROCK is the most aggressive and survivable vehicle in its class. Its design and capabilities have repeatedly outperformed its competition, meeting current and future law enforcement needs with its ability to adapt to new threats.

With the current drawdown of US military forces in Iraq, and the Administration's plan to double the number of private contractors, interest in the ROCK armored vehicle has grown exponentially.

Chris Berman, president and founder of Granite Tactical Vehicles, has been approached, and is currently entertaining the idea of partnering with larger defense contractors, with greater, proven production history, though to date, the right partnership has not presented itself.

Granite Tactical Vehicles produced the ROCK in both the US and Kuwait through late 2008, when all operations were relocated to their current facility in Mt Airy North Carolina. However, the current climate and conditions in the Middle East are causing the company to revaluate opening another facility in that region.
