BAE Systems has announced a $184 million contract modification to deliver an additional 48 Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicles (AMPVs) to the U.S. Army. This order supplements the existing full-rate production contract.
The AMPV family is designed to replace the Army's aging M113 vehicles, enhancing the Armored Brigade Combat Team with vital advancements in survivability, mobility, on-board power, and interoperability. The AMPV series encompasses five variants: General Purpose, Mortar Carrier, Medical Evacuation, Medical Treatment, and Mission Command vehicles.
BAE Systems also revealed its ongoing expansion efforts in York, Pennsylvania, which will include facilities to support the AMPV production line.
