BAE Wins $134 Million Howitzer Task Order

BAE Systems has been selected by the Defense Department to provide lightweight M777 howitzers to begin equipping the U.S. Army infantry brigade combat teams.

The $134 million task order is scheduled to be completed in Oct. 2013.

“This latest order reinforces the system’s credentials while continuous development of sub-system enhancements underlines our determination to keep M777 the howitzer of choice, ” said Mike Smith, managing director of BAE Systems’ global combat systems business.

The M777 can be deployed by medium lift helicopters quickly and beyond the reach of roadside bombs to inaccessible areas extending its reach over the theater of operations. The U.S. and UK production program will deliver a total of 1071 M777s.
