The Bushmaster, a mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicle manufactured by ADI Limited (now Thales Australia), takes its name from the lethal pit viper. Designated as the Infantry Mobility Vehicle (IMV) by its manufacturer, it was introduced into service with the Australian Army and Royal Australian Air Force in 2004. Australia currently operates over 1,000 Bushmasters of various configurations, with an additional 143 vehicles ordered for delivery in 2009. In 2006, the Netherlands acquired 37 of these MRAPs, and it is also in service with the United Kingdom. Jamaica ordered 12 vehicles, Japan 4, and Indonesia 3. By 2013, over 1,000 Bushmasters had been produced, with its effectiveness proven in conflicts such as Afghanistan and Iraq.
