DefenseTech and a couple of other websites have the ArmorWorks special ops truck highlighted at the Marine Week expo.

I got curious because I had never seen it.  I knew of ArmorWorks but had no idea that they were working on this type of vehicle.

Mystery solved.

The Hyena is out of the UK branch of ArmorWork, this is good news for them and even better news for that country.  The UK appears to be the new home for specialized special ops vehicles...or they're at least working to carve out that niche.
