YORK,
Pa., Sept. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S.
Army and BAE Systems (LON:BA) definitized a contract modification
worth over $440 million to produce
additional Bradley Fighting Vehicles. This award includes the
production of more than 200 A4 variants. The order will be
delivered to the Army as a modernized replacement to some of the
Bradleys that the U.S. government has provided to Ukraine.
"This enduring capability continues to make
a difference for troops all over the world."
"The Bradley Fighting Vehicle brings game-changing capabilities
to the Army and our allied nations," said Dan Furber, director of ground vehicle
production for BAE Systems' Combat Mission Systems business.
"Because of the support for additional production of the modern
Bradley A4 variant, this enduring capability continues to make a
difference for troops all over the world, ensuring they have the
firepower, mobility and survivability they need to achieve their
missions."
The Bradley A4 is a critical, next-generation capability in the
Army's Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT) formation. It's a proven
system that enhances battlefield performance to meet a variety of
mission requirements in various combat situations.
Built with proven durability and commonality of design to reduce
the logistics burden, the Bradley A4 features digitized electronics
for optimum situational awareness, network connectivity and
communication within the ABCT. It greatly improves Soldier safety
and the ability to defeat the adversary no matter the terrain,
temperature or threat.
"The Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle dominates in today's
battlefields and is ready for future fights," Furber said.
Production and support efforts for the Bradley A4 take place
across BAE Systems' robust industrial network including
Aiken, South Carolina;
Anniston, Alabama; Minneapolis, Minnesota; San Jose, California; Sterling Heights, Michigan; and York, Pennsylvania.
