The Boeing Phantom Badger, or simply the Badger, is a combat support vehicle built by Boeing, in collaboration with MSI Defense Solutions.[2] Designed for transport inside the V-22 Osprey, the Badger is notable for its size and versatility.[3] Unlike previous vehicles and competing offers, the Badger's design is such that it avoids non-standard equipment, instead using already available hardware for construction.[4] Although officially certified for use with United States Navy aircraft, the Badger is also used by the United States Air Force as well as United States Marine Corps special operations.[citation needed]

Designedit
The Badger is designed with mission-specific rear modules that are attached with six bolts at six connection points that can be interchanged on the field in 30 minutes or less. Interchangeable modular mission capabilities include reconnaissance, combat search and rescue, casualty transport and explosive ordnance disposal in addition to mounts for weapons like a .50-caliber machine gun and 40mm automatic grenade launcher.[5]
