BAE Systems has been awarded a multimillion-dollar contract by Plasan North America to provide armoring solutions and components for MRAP All Terrain Vehicles (M-ATV) bound for deployment in Afghanistan.
“Our history of support for the MRAP program ranges from designing and developing three MRAP variants, to supplying critical components on every MRAP platform, including—with the Plasan contract—the M-ATV, ” said Tony Russell, president of BAE Systems’ Security & Survivability business in a press release.
As a subcontractor, BAE Systems will be working directly with Plasan, which is providing M-ATV armoring kits to the Oshkosh Corporation to fulfill its contract with the U.S. Army TACOM LCMC.
With emphasis on the company’s on-going commitment to U.S. troops and the MRAP program, work on the contract will begin this month at BAE Systems’ production facilities in Fairfield, Ohio.
