BAE Systems has received a $54 million contract from the U.S. Army to manufacture approximately 370 Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV). The contract is a modification to the current FMTV production contract, now totaling $3.6 billion dollars.
The contract modification calls for the production of FMTVs in various configurations, including Dump Trucks, Cargo Trucks, Wreckers, and Trailers. Approximately 100 of the FMTVs will be configured to meet the U.S. Army’s Long Term Armor Strategy initiative to equip all tactical vehicles with the ability to be armored when necessary.
Production of the FMTV trucks will be performed in Sealy, Texas, and is expected to be complete by November 2008.
