Some of this Force Protection stuff may be for more than just military use I believe? I reckon Homeland Security may come into this? for things like the contract that metalstorm once had for the protection of DOE nuclear installations and possibly a lot of other facilities or areas needing protection as well, border protection comes to mind?
Metal Storm Limited (MST) announced that Metal Storm, Inc. is a teaming partner with seven companies that have received awards to provide Force Protection Systems for Integrated Base Defence capabilities for CONUS and OCONUS security of sites and personnel.
CONUS/OCONUS
CONUS, a technical term used by the U.S. Department of Defense and General Services Administration, has been defined both as the continental United States, and as the 48 contiguous states.[15][16] The District of Columbia is not always specifically mentioned as being part of CONUS.[16] OCONUS is the same term with addition of O for outside, thus Outside of Contiguous United States (OCONUS).[15]
