BAE Systems to Produce 48 More AMPVs for US Army.
BAE Systems has secured a $184-million contract modification to build 48 additional Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicles (AMPVs) for the US Army. The modification is part of a full-rate production agreement awarded to the company in August 2023.
Production of the new AMPVs will take place at BAE facilities in Alabama, Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina.
“Soldiers deserve advanced capabilities like the AMPV that have been successfully tested to accomplish the many mission roles they will serve in the formation,” BAE Systems AMPV Program Director Bill Sheehy stated.
