Category: Contracts
The U.S. Army has placed a $127 million order for 103 additional Stryker wheeled combat vehicles from General Dynamics Land Systems, a business unit of General Dynamics.
Additionally, the U.S. Army awarded General Dynamics a $9.5 million contract modification to procure additional parts for Stryker vehicle battle damage repair.
Stryker, a family of eight-wheel-drive combat vehicles that can travel at speeds up to 62 mph on highways with a range of 312 miles, is the Army’s highest-priority production combat vehicle program and the centerpiece of the ongoing Army Transformation. Stryker operates with the latest C4ISR equipment and an integrated armor package protecting soldiers against improvised explosive devices, rocket propelled grenades, and a variety of infantry weapons.
The U.S. Army placed an FY06 order for 306 Strykers combat vehicles in April. To date, General Dynamics has delivered more than 1,500 Strykers to the U.S. Army.
