The DDS have developed a quick to fit modification kit for the Provider 71A transport for large scale personnel transfer. The kit involves installing seating, sanitary and recreational facilities and can turn the Provider into a passenger transport capable of moving up to a 1000 people. The kit can be installed in less than 24 hours.
This has been bought in for troop transport which is an area the DDS are still lacking in. The DDS have extensive amphibious warfare facilities now but have lacked the ability to move troops and personnel on a large scale fast. Up to 10 kits will be bought with at least 1 Provider permanently fitted.
