Exhibit 10.66

TEAMING AGREEMENT

        THIS TEAMING AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered into by the following
entities:

DRS Sustainment Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with an address of 201
Evans Lane, St. Louis, MO 63121 ("Prime"),

and

Force Protection, Inc., a Nevada corporation, with an address of 9801 Highway
78 Ladson, SC 29456 ("Sub").

        Prime and Sub may also be referred to in this Agreement individually as
a "Party" or collectively as the "Parties" or the "Team."

BACKGROUND

1.The U.S. Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command [TACOM LCMC] ("Customer")
has issued a solicitation for the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle—Technology
Demonstration Phase (the "Procurement").

2.Prime is experienced in military ground systems integration, as well as the
design, development, and production of military trailers, and possesses
Intellectual Property (as defined in Article 25) relating thereto that is
valuable and proprietary to Prime.

3.Sub is experienced in the design, development, and production, of wheeled
armored vehicles, and possesses Intellectual Property, as defined in Article 25,
relating thereto that is valuable and proprietary to Sub.

4.The Parties thus have unique and complementary backgrounds and capabilities
that, together, will enhance the likelihood of achieving the Customer's
objectives, reduce technical and financial risks to the Customer, and ensure the
maximum potential for competition in responding to the Customer's solicitation.

5.The Parties recognize the efficiency of teaming and wish to team for the
purpose of competitively responding to the Customer's solicitation and
performing any resulting contract(s). The Parties have agreed, as set forth in
Exhibit A, to the Parties' scope of work.

AGREEMENT

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and in express
reliance on the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein, the Parties
agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1.—FORMATION OF TEAM

        Prime and Sub hereby team, in accordance with Federal Acquisition
Regulation ("FAR") 9.601, for the purposes of (a) competing for the Procurement
(as defined in Article 25), and (b) performing any resulting contract(s). The
Parties agree that DRS shall be the prime contractor on behalf of the Team.

ARTICLE 2.—RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES

2.1Prime and Sub shall act as independent contractors in the performance of this
Agreement, and neither Party shall act as agent for or partner of the other
Party without the consent of the other Party. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
deemed to constitute, create, give effect to or otherwise recognize a joint
venture, partnership, or formal business entity of any kind, and the rights and
obligations of the Parties shall be limited to those expressly set forth herein.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as providing for the
sharing of profits or losses arising out of the efforts of either or both
Parties.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.2This Agreement has been entered into solely for the benefit of the Parties
and is not intended to create any legal, equitable, or beneficial interest in
any third party, or to vest in any third party, any interest with respect to the
enforcement or performance of this Agreement. The Parties agree that no customer
has any legal interest in this Agreement, or in any dispute arising hereunder,
and that no customer is a necessary or indispensable party to any action or
proceeding for the resolution of such disputes. The Parties further agree not to
assert in any such proceeding that any third party is necessary or indispensable
to such proceeding or to a determination of the relief to be granted therein.

ARTICLE 3.—TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER

3.1Throughout the term of this Agreement, subject always to applicable export
control laws and regulations as well as the execution of any required enabling
export licenses or agreements:

(a)Prime shall disclose, and license to Sub, on a nonexclusive, royalty-free
basis, on such terms as are provided herein, Intellectual Property relating to
the Procurement solely to enable Sub to perform its obligations under this
Agreement;

(b)Sub shall disclose and license to Prime, on a nonexclusive, royalty-free
basis, on such terms as are provided herein, Intellectual Property relating to
the Procurement solely to enable Prime to perform its obligations under this
Agreement; and

(c)Any subcontract between the Parties resulting from this Agreement shall
contain appropriate nonexclusive, royalty-free cross licenses between the
Parties, to the extent allowed by law, so as to enable each Party to use the
Intellectual Property of the other Party solely to perform its obligations under
the subcontract and the related prime contract. Such cross licenses shall
terminate no later than the close out of the related prime contract.

3.2Intellectual Property and proprietary or confidential information disclosed
hereunder shall be protected in accordance with the Nondisclosure Agreement
between the Parties, dated January 11, 2008. A copy of such agreement is
attached as Exhibit B.

3.3In the event of a termination by Prime of this Agreement due to a material
breach or material default of Sub, Sub shall, within five (5) business days from
written notification from Prime, transfer and license to Prime all Intellectual
Property owned or controlled by Sub that is necessary to enable Prime
independently to perform or have performed by others all subcontract
requirements under the Procurement that Sub would have been obligated to perform
subject to negotiation of a mutually acceptable production license, including
fees for the use of Sub's Intellectual Property and Improvements (as hereafter
defined) to manufacture Sub's vehicles for the Procurement. This clause,
suitably modified to identify the subcontracting parties, shall be included in
any subcontract(s) entered into pursuant to this Agreement.

ARTICLE 4.—RESPONSIBILITIES

4.1Because the proposal effort will involve business risks and necessarily will
require the full cooperation of the Parties, the Parties agree, during the term
of this Agreement, to work exclusively with each other on the Procurement and to
not discuss any aspect of, make proposals to or agreements with, or solicit bids
from any other person, firm or legal entity regarding the Procurement, excepting
that (a) either Party may deal with vendors, consultants, and other
third-parties whose information is reasonably necessary to develop its scope of
work for the Team's proposal without approval by the other Party, (b) the
parties may, by advance mutual agreement, bring in additional team members to
the Team provided that such members will not include a lead systems integrator
or a JLTV vehicle provider and (c) Prime may deal with the Customer as well as
the Customer's representatives, contractors, and agents. This Agreement is not
intended to and

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

shall not be interpreted to in any way abridge, limit, or restrict the rights of
the Parties to pursue, either independently or in conjunction with any other
person or entity, business opportunities other than the Procurement.

4.2Prime will maintain exclusively on behalf of the Team responsibility for all
contacts and communications with the Customer, all proposal activities and
negotiations, all decisions relating to the Procurement, and all post-award
activities. Sub will work with and at the direction of Prime. Because the
participation of Sub is substantial, Prime will consult with Sub on all major
questions of project structure, execution and on marketing and business
strategy.

4.3During the term of this Agreement, each Party will exert its reasonable best
efforts, to produce a proposal(s) that will cause selection of Prime as the
prime contractor for the Procurement and acceptance of Sub as the subcontractor
for the work identified in Exhibit A; provided, however, that Prime may, in its
sole discretion, choose not to submit any proposal(s), bids, or other
submission, at which time Sub may pursue the Procurement alone or with others.

4.4Sub will cooperate in supporting the proposal efforts on the Procurement as
reasonably requested by Prime. Sub will submit to Prime a proposal for its share
of the work that is required by the Customer's solicitation and identified in
Exhibit A by the date requested by Prime. As part of any proposal, the Sub shall
incorporate all material required to be responsive to the Customer's
solicitation that is pertinent to the work assigned to it as defined in
Exhibit A, including any appropriate manuscripts, art work, work breakdown
structure ("WBS"), technical descriptions, and current, accurate, and complete
cost and pricing data in sufficient detail to permit negotiation of the prime
contract and negotiation of the subcontract for Sub's work. If required by the
Customer's solicitation, Sub may submit its cost or pricing data directly to the
U.S. Government for review, provided that Sub submits such data concurrently
with Prime's proposal submission to the Customer. Sub represents that its
proposed prices will meet the requirements of the Truth in Negotiations Act,
P.L. 87-653, as amended, and its implementing regulations.

4.5Sub shall respond as quickly as practicable to Prime's requests for data and
information required by the Prime to facilitate the successful competition by
the Team for the Procurement.

4.6In the event Prime should be involved in any written communications,
presentations, or visits with the Customer concerning the Procurement, Sub
shall, when requested, reasonably support Prime with respect to Sub's defined
areas of work contained in Exhibit A.

4.7Prime will have the final decision on the form and content of all documents
submitted to the Customer; provided, however, that prior to submission of the
proposal, Prime will reasonably afford Sub the opportunity to review the form
and the content of Prime's proposal and to make recommendations, evaluate and
comment on the form and content of Prime's proposal. Recommendations made by Sub
as to changes in Proposal content shall be given serious consideration by Prime,
but Prime shall have the final determination as to such changes; provided,
however, that Prime shall not, without Sub's prior approval, effect any changes
in the technical content, scope of work, or pricing of that portion of any
Proposal which relates to Sub's area of responsibility. Upon submission of each
Proposal, Prime will furnish to Sub two copies thereof, excluding Prime's
proprietary information related to cost and pricing. Prime's proposal shall
identify Sub as the subcontractor responsible for the work identified in
Exhibit A.

4.8During any negotiation or presentation with the Customer by Prime relative to
the Procurement, Sub's personnel, with the authority to make decisions on behalf
of Sub, shall be available for consultation with Prime in order that any
required changes to Sub's portion of the proposal effort may be agreed upon
promptly. Prime will also afford Sub the opportunity to be present at all
Procurement presentations, discussions, conferences and Project reviews with
Customer and/or other team members.

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.9To the extent practicable, Prime shall keep Sub informed of significant
events, deadlines, and milestones in the Procurement relating to Sub's effort.

4.10Each Party shall bear all costs, risks and liabilities incurred by it
arising out of its performance of this Agreement; provided, however, that the
Prime shall be responsible for the costs of the graphic arts, printing, binding
and delivery of the proposal(s). Neither Party shall have any right to any
reimbursement, payment or compensation of any kind from the other during the
period up to the award of a subcontract unless otherwise specifically agreed in
writing by the Parties.

ARTICLE 5.—AWARD OF CONTRACT

5.1If Prime is awarded a prime contract under the Procurement, Prime will award
Sub a subcontract for that portion of the work required by the prime contract
and identified as Sub's responsibility in Exhibit A, subject to (a) the further
provisions of this Article 5; (b) any approval required by the Customer; (c) the
Termination provisions of this Agreement; and (d) the mutual agreement of the
Parties relative to terms and conditions of the subcontract, including price,
specifications, and delivery schedule.

5.2Any subcontract entered into by the Parties shall contain terms and
conditions consistent with the Team's proposal and with the terms and conditions
of the prime contract, appropriately tailored for flow-down into a subcontract,
as well as such additional terms and conditions (a) mutually agreed by the Prime
and Sub; (b) required by this Agreement; or (c) required as a result of the
prime contract's definitization.

5.3Prime may be required by the Customer to place some or all of the work
identified as Sub's responsibility in Exhibit A with another source or to have
such work bid on a competitive basis. In either of such events, Prime shall, in
consultation with Sub, make good faith efforts to determine the cause for the
Customer's direction and to convince the Customer to accept Sub for the work
identified in Exhibit A. If such efforts are unsuccessful, it is agreed that
Prime shall comply with the Customer's direction. When the Customer has
redirected only a portion of the Sub's work, the Parties agree to negotiate in
good faith an adjustment to Exhibit A. In the event that the Parties are unable
to negotiate a prompt agreement on such an adjustment, this Agreement shall be
terminated in accordance with the Termination provisions of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 6.—INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

6.1Subject to any rights of the Customer, each Party shall retain all right,
title and interest to (a) any Intellectual Property it developed, authored,
conceived or reduced to practice prior to the date of this Agreement, and
(b) any Intellectual Property it develops, authors, conceives or reduces to
practice independently and solely by that Party during the performance of this
Agreement without the other Party's Intellectual Property. In either such event,
no license, express or implied, or ownership shall inure to the benefit of the
other Party to distribute or to display to the public or to prepare copies or
derivative works of such works or to make, have made, use, sell, have sold,
sublicense products or processes incorporating such Intellectual Property,
except as expressly provided herein.

6.2(a)    All rights, ownership, title and interest in and to (i) any derivative
works or other modifications, add-ons, enhancements or improvements to Prime's
Pre-Existing Intellectual Property and (ii) in and to all Intellectual Property
developed (whether jointly or by Sub alone) during the performance of this
Agreement that derives from and incorporates Prime's Pre-Existing Intellectual
Property (collectively the "Prime Derivative Intellectual Property"), shall vest
in and be and remain the property of Prime. To the extent any ownership rights
in the Prime Derivative Intellectual Property would vest in Sub by operation of
law, Sub hereby assigns and agrees that it

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

shall assign such rights to Prime in full, and Sub agrees to cooperate with
Prime to take any reasonably necessary steps to effect or perfect such rights.

(b)    Unless otherwise agreed as evidenced in an executed Teaming Agreement, in
no event shall any license, express or implied, or ownership inure to the
benefit of the Party not owning Pre-Existing Intellectual Property, to
reproduce, distribute, publicly display, modify or create derivative works of
such works or to make, have made, use, sell, have sold, or sublicense such
Intellectual Property.

(c)    All rights, ownership, title and interest in and to (i) any derivative
works or other modifications, add-ons, enhancements or improvements to Sub's
Pre-Existing Intellectual Property and (ii) in and to all Intellectual Property
developed (whether jointly or by Prime alone) during the performance of this
Agreement that derives from and incorporates Sub's Pre-Existing Intellectual
Property (collectively the "Sub Derivative Intellectual Property"), shall vest
in and be and remain the property of Sub. To the extent any ownership rights in
the Sub Derivative Intellectual Property would vest in Prime by operation of
law, Prime hereby assigns and agrees that it shall assign such rights to Sub in
full, and Prime agrees to cooperate with Sub to take any reasonably necessary
steps to effect or perfect such rights.

(d)    Prime Derivative Intellectual Property and Sub Derivative Intellectual
Property is sometimes referred to herein collectively as "Derivative
Intellectual Property."

6.3In the event Intellectual Property that does not fall within the scope of
Section 6.2 is developed jointly by the Parties during the performance of this
Agreement (the "Joint Inventions"), such Joint Inventions shall be owned jointly
by the Parties and each Party shall own an undivided interest in the patents,
copyrights and other Intellectual Property resulting from such Joint Inventions.
Prime and Sub may utilize the Joint Inventions only internally (not to include
sublicensing any third parties) without restraint; except that neither Party
shall take action with respect thereto that will adversely affect the rights of
the other Party without the prior written consent of the other Party. The
Parties agree that each will execute and cause to be executed all documents and
do and cause to be done all acts reasonably necessary, desirable or convenient
to enable the Parties to file and prosecute patent applications for Joint
Inventions or copyright registrations on such Joint Inventions, and to maintain
any patents granted regarding such Joint Inventions.

Procedures for seeking and maintaining protection such as patents or copyrights
for Joint Inventions shall be mutually agreed in good faith by the Parties. Any
Party that does not reasonably cooperate or bear its proportionate share of
expenses in securing and maintaining such patents on the Joint Inventions in any
particular country or countries shall surrender its joint ownership under any
resulting patents in such country or countries. Each Party shall be free to use
and practice for its own purposes such Joint Inventions, with no right of
accounting, except that each owning Party agrees to maintain such Joint
Inventions as confidential and proprietary in the same manner it treats its own
Intellectual Property of a similar character. Any licensing of such Joint
Inventions by either Party shall be subject to the prior written agreement of
the Parties.

6.4Any subcontract between the Parties resulting from this Agreement shall
contain intellectual property provisions consistent with Sections 6.1 through
6.3.

ARTICLE 7.—DISPUTE RESOLUTION

7.1Any claim for the threatened, alleged, or actual breach of this Agreement by
either Party (a "Dispute"), which cannot otherwise be resolved after good faith
negotiations by the Parties, shall first be referred for resolution to the
Parties' respective executive management in writing.

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.2If the Parties' executive management are unable to resolve the claim,
controversy or other matter within thirty (30) calendar days of such referral,
then either Party may file suit in a court of competent jurisdiction.

7.3Notwithstanding the above, either Party may immediately seek injunctive
relief in a court of competent jurisdiction against improper use, disclosure, or
threatened improper use or disclosure of Intellectual Property.

7.4Notwithstanding the above, the Parties' failure in good faith to reach mutual
agreement on the terms and conditions of a subcontract under this Agreement
pursuant to Article 5 shall not be considered a controversy or claim subject to
litigation under this Article.

78, Ladson, South Carolina 29456 ("FPI").

        DRS SSI and FPI, may also be referred to in this Agreement individually
as a "Party" or collectively as the "Parties."

BACKGROUND

1.Each Party represents that it possesses competitively valuable proprietary and
confidential information which is not generally available to the public and
which the Party desires to protect against disclosure or competitive use (the
"Proprietary Information").

2.Proprietary Information may include, but is not limited to, tangible or
intangible information related to a Party's products, processes, methods, ideas,
concepts, discoveries, designs, drawings, specifications, techniques, practices,
models, diagrams, source code, object code, software, programs, know-how,
technical data, research and development, or business and financial data.

3.The Parties contemplate engaging in business discussions during which it may
become necessary to exchange Proprietary Information, and desire to establish a
mutual understanding concerning the preservation and safeguarding of such
information.

AGREEMENT

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and in express
reliance on the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein, the Parties
agree as follows:

1.During the term of this Agreement, the Parties, to the extent of their right
to do so, may exchange information that is considered by the disclosing Party to
be Proprietary Information. For such information to be considered Proprietary
Information and subject to this Agreement, it shall be identified in writing at
the time of the disclosure by an appropriate legend, marking, stamp or positive
written identification on the face thereof to be Proprietary Information. In
order for any Proprietary Information that is exchanged between the Parties
orally or visually to be subject to this Agreement, it shall be identified as
Proprietary Information to the receiving Party orally at the time of disclosure
and in writing within fourteen (14) calendar days after such oral or visual
disclosure.

2.Proprietary Information delivered by the disclosing Party to the receiving
Party shall be used solely for the purpose of discussions relative to the Joint
Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) Program and evaluation of various items for
potential application to the program, such as vehicle electronics, diagnostics,
and power applications; C4ISR; Situational Awareness Systems; Armor; and ground
combat & tactical wheeled vehicles (the "Permitted Purpose"). No other use of
Proprietary Information is granted without the prior written consent of the
disclosing Party.

3.This Agreement shall (unless extended by written, mutual agreement)
automatically terminate on January 31, 2010, but may be terminated earlier by
either Party giving thirty (30) days notice in writing to the other Party of its
intention to terminate. Termination shall not, however, affect the rights and
obligations in this Agreement with respect to Proprietary Information supplied
prior to termination.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.From the date of its disclosure until three (3) years after the date of
termination of this Agreement, the receiving Party shall protect the disclosing
Party's Proprietary Information by using the same degree of care, but no less
than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent the dissemination to third-parties
or publication of the Proprietary Information as the receiving Party uses to
protect its own Proprietary Information of a like nature. The receiving Party
shall further restrict disclosure of such Proprietary Information to those of
its directors, officers, employees, agents, and advisors (including attorneys,
accountants, and financial advisers) who have a need to know and who have been
advised of and agreed to the restrictions on disclosure and use contained in
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the period set forth in the first sentence of
this section, the Parties may agree in writing to an extended period of
protection for certain Proprietary Information.

5.This Agreement imposes no obligation upon a receiving Party with respect to
Proprietary Information which: (a) was in the receiving Party's possession
before receipt from the disclosing Party; (b) is or becomes a matter of public
knowledge through no fault of the receiving Party; (c) is rightfully received by
the receiving Party from a rightfully possessing third party without a duty of
confidentiality; (d) is required to be disclosed by court order or other lawful
governmental action, but only to the extent so ordered, and provided that the
Party so ordered shall notify the disclosing Party of the underlying proceeding
in sufficient time so that the disclosing Party may attempt to obtain a
protective order; (e) is disclosed by the receiving Party with the disclosing
Party's prior written approval in accordance with that written approval; or
(f) is independently developed by the receiving Party without access to
Proprietary Information exchanged hereunder as provable by competent evidence.

property of the disclosing Party, and neither Party acquires any license,
intellectual property rights, or legal or equitable interest in the other
Party's Proprietary Information except for the limited right to make copies as
necessary, and in accordance with this Agreement, for the Permitted Purpose.

7.All Proprietary Information is provided "AS IS," and neither Party makes any
warranty regarding the accuracy, appropriateness or reliability of such
information. The entire risk arising out of the use of the Proprietary
Information remains with the receiving Party.

8.The receiving Party shall notify the disclosing Party immediately upon
discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Proprietary Information, or
any other breach of this Agreement by the receiving Party, and will cooperate
with the disclosing Party in every reasonable way to help the disclosing Party
regain possession of the Proprietary Information and prevent further
unauthorized use or disclosure.

9.This Agreement shall not be construed as a sales agreement, teaming agreement,
joint venture or other similar arrangement; rather, the Parties expressly agree
that this Agreement is solely for the purpose of protecting Proprietary
Information.

10.Neither Party has an obligation to supply Proprietary Information to the
other Party; furthermore, neither Party has an obligation under this Agreement

Party's option, destroy and certify to such destruction.

15.The Parties agree that, during the term of this Agreement and for a one
(1) year period thereafter, neither Party shall knowingly or actively seek to
hire any employee of the other Party. This restriction shall not prohibit either
Party from hiring any person as a result of the use of an independent employment
agency (so long as the agency was not directed by such Party to solicit such
person) or as the result of the use of a general solicitation (such as an
advertisement) not specifically directed to employees of the other Party.

16.The receiving Party acknowledges that monetary damages may be an insufficient
remedy for damages resulting from the unauthorized disclosure of Proprietary
Information and that the disclosing Party shall be entitled, without waiving any
other rights or remedies, to seek such injunctive or other equitable relief as
may be deemed appropriate by a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing herein
shall be construed as prohibiting the disclosing Party from pursuing any other
available remedy for unauthorized disclosure or for breach or threatened breach
of this Agreement.

17.The Parties shall perform their respective obligations hereunder without
charge to the other, and neither Party shall assign any rights hereunder or
disclose the existence of this Agreement publicly without the prior written
approval of the other Party.

18.Regardless of its place of negotiation, execution, or performance, this
Agreement shall be enforced and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the
State of Delaware, without regard to that state's choice of law statutes and
provisions. This Agreement shall be binding on the Parties, their successors and
assigns.

19.If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement is held
invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions of this
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if this Agreement had been
executed with the invalid portion eliminated, provided the effectiveness of the
remaining portions of this Agreement will not defeat the overall intent of the
Parties. In such a situation, the Parties agree, to the extent legal and
possible, to incorporate a replacement provision to accomplish the originally
intended effect.

20.This Agreement shall not be amended or modified, nor shall any waiver of any
right hereunder be effective unless set forth in a document executed by duly
authorized representatives of the Parties. The failure to exercise any right
under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such right, and shall
not affect the right to enforce each and every right hereof. The waiver of any
breach of any term, provision, covenant or condition herein contained shall not
be, deemed to be a

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

waiver of any (a) subsequent breach of such term, provision, covenant or
condition or (b) other term, provision, covenant, or condition.

21.This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of and
between the Parties relative to the protection of Proprietary Information
relating to the Permitted Purpose and supersedes and replaces any and all
previous understandings, commitments or agreements, oral or written.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this Agreement to be
executed by each Party's duly authorized representative, and this Agreement
shall be effective as of the day and year last written below.
