US Army Orders $754Mln Worth of More Armored Vehicles For Future Wars, Pentagon Says
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The US Army has ordered more than three-quarters of a billion dollars worth of more armored combat vehicles from BAE Systems, the company announced in a press release.
"BAE Systems received a $754 million contract award to continue production of the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) family of vehicles for the US Army," the release stated. "This contract begins the second phase of full-rate production of AMPVs between March 2026 and February 2027."
The multi-mission AMPV vehicles
are to replace vehicles from the Army's Vietnam War-era M113 models, modernizing the force and providing more survivability, mobility, and interoperability upgrades to the Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT), the Defense Department explained.
"It’s crucial that we continue to replace the M113s, and that we do it at a pace that ensures soldiers are unmatched on the modern battlefield. We are fully committed to continue our swift work with the Army to produce high-quality AMPVs at an increased and sustained rate for soldiers," BAE Systems AMPV Program Director Bill Sheehy said in the release.
The AMPV is currently produced in
five variants including the General Purpose, Mortar Carrier, Medical Evacuation, Medical Treatment, and Mission Command models, BAE Systems said.
