HEIGHTS - General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) Muskegon
operations will handle the bulk of the work generated
from a $24.5 million contract from United Defense.
The
contract is for 138 Bradley HMPT 500-3ECB transmission
assemblies and 138 turret drive systems. These components
are used in the Bradley Fighting Vehicle M2A3 product
improvement program.
According
to GDLS, 68 percent of the work on the components
will be done in Muskegon. The remaining work will
be split between GDLS' facilities in Tallahassee,
Fla. and Scranton, Penn. The program will be managed
by General Dynamics Land Systems' Propulsion Systems
operation in Muskegon.
This
contract is the third award against a now fully funded
Bradley multi-year contract, valued at $76.5 million,
which was initially awarded in September 2001.
The
improved transmission assemblies and turret drive
systems are scheduled to be delivered between April
2004 and March 2005.
