This is a follow-on order to a contract for ASV armour panels valued at $10.5m that BAE Systems announced earlier in the year.
Under the agreement, BAE Systems will produce armour panels for the M1117 ASV, a turreted, lightly armoured, all-wheel-drive combat vehicle used by US Military Police and convoy security units.
The company is also building armour kits for the M1200 Armored Knight, an ASV variant equipped with a laser-guided sensor package designed for the precise laser targeting of munitions.
The BAE Systems appliqué armour panels will be installed at TM&LS and then the armoured ASVs will be delivered to the US Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command.
Work on the order will begin immediately at BAE Systems’ facilities in Phoenix, Arizona, with final deliveries expected to be completed by spring 2011.
