The service branch said Thursday the contract value could reach $1.6 billion if it exercises options to order additional units of the AMPV, which is designed to replace the M113 family of armored vehicles that accounts for 30 percent of the Armored Brigade Combat Teams’ tracked vehicles.
BAE developed AMPV to feature greater survivability, force protection, mobility and power than M113, which was first fielded in 1962. It is also built for compatibility with future Army technologies.
More than 276 units have been delivered to the Army, out of the 450 vehicles expected by the end of 2024. BAE is scheduled to fulfill orders from full-rate production starting 2025.
“The five variants of the AMPV will provide Commanders with viable capabilities to maneuver across the full breadth of the ABCT battlefield,” said Maj. Gen. Glenn Dean, the Army’s program executive officer for ground combat systems.
