Textron bags contract for Armored Vehicles
Textron Marine & Land Systems, an operating unit of Textron Systems, a Textron Inc. company, announced a firm-fixed-price contract award from the US Army tank-automotive and armaments command (TACOM) for 88 M1117 armored security vehicles (ASV) and M1200 armored knight vehicles.
The award, valued at over $64 million, exercises options for 37 M1117 ASVs, 51 M1200 armored knights and associated support equipment. The work will be performed through the end of 2012.
“The ASV is a versatile platform that continues to deliver exceptional mobility, reliability and survivability enabling the US Army to carry out a wide range of combat mission roles,” said Textron Marine & Land Systems Senior Vice President and General Manager Tom Walmsley. “For more than 12 years our team has worked hard to consistently deliver ASV products, in a variety of configurations, which provide our soldiers exceptional levels of security and protection.”
The ASV is a 4X4 wheeled armoured vehicle that offers significant crew protection through the employment of multiple layers of armour, defending against small arms fire, artillery projectile fragments, improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and land mines. It also uses a four-wheel independent suspension system to deliver superior mobility, agility, handling, and ride quality.
