The US Army has awarded HII a five-year, $197-million contract to research and develop enhancements for its combat vehicle fleet.
The effort will focus on innovations in vehicle power, mobility, and lifecycle enhancements for the full suite of US Army vehicles, from manned and unmanned ground combat vehicles to hybrid, joint light tactical, and robotic vehicles.
“We look forward to continuing our longstanding relationship with [the Army’s Ground Vehicle Systems Center], building on our 20-year history supporting the center’s important mission,” said Grant Hagen, head of Mission Technologies’ Warfare Systems group.
“Accelerating advanced technology to benefit the warfighter is a priority, and we’re pleased to collaborate with the Army on ground vehicle advancements that will improve soldier safety and mission success on the battlefield.”
