GD Awarded $37 M Contract for Reactive Armor Production
(Charlotte, N.C., August 13, 2008) -- The U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC), in Picatinny, N.J., has awarded General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products a $37 million contract for the qualification and production of reactive armor side skirt tiles for the Bradley Fighting Vehicle System. General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products is a business unit of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD).
The reactive armor system is comprised of tiles that fasten to the exterior of a vehicle allowing it to better withstand a direct hit from a variety of anti-armor munitions. In addition to manufacturing the reactive armor tiles for the Bradley Fighting Vehicle and the Abrams Tank, General Dynamics provides complete assembly, integration and storage capabilities.
"Our reactive armor technology provides an added level of vehicle protection against shape-charged threats, including rocket propelled grenades," said Russ Klein, vice president and general manager of weapon systems for General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products. "Designed specifically for the U.S. Army Bradley Fighting Vehicle, our reactive armor is saving lives and preventing severe damage to combat vehicles in Iraq."
