in 2010, the army initiated a development effort to add electronic stability control (esc), a computerized technology designed to improve vehicle stability, to the maxxpro. the maxxpro's high ground clearance provides greater protection from underbody blasts, but also raises its center of gravity, causing rollovers in certain situations. the esc combines road factors, vehicle data, and driver intent to automatically correct driving to ensure stability during maneuvers. installation on maxxpros began in late 2014 and is to be completed by late 2017, with other mraps planned to have esc integrated onto them.
