BAE Wins $75M for DLA Armor Inserts; Don Dutton Comments

BAE Systems Inc. has won a $75 million task order to provide body armor inserts to the Defense Logistics Agency, the company announced Monday.

The order falls under a three-year contract with the DLA’s troop support office that could reach $236 million.

The small arms inserts fit into vests and are designed to protect soldiers against ballistic threats.

Don Dutton, vice president and general manager of protection systems, said the inserts are designed to defend against multiple hits.

Work will occur in Phoenix and the company expects to finish work by August 2013.

The company also recently won $60 million to develop a training program on disabling improvised explosive devices for the Defense Department.
