BAE Systems Wins $754M U.S. Army Deal for Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle Program

The U.S. Army has awarded BAE Systems $754 million to continue producing the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) family of vehicles (FoV).

This contract begins the second phase of full-rate production of AMPVs between March 2026 and February 2027.

The multi-mission ready AMPV FoV replaces vehicles from the Army's Vietnam War-era M113 family, modernizing the force and providing critical survivability, mobility, and interoperability upgrades to the Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT).

Currently produced in five variants including the General Purpose, Mortar Carrier, Medical Evacuation, Medical Treatment and Mission Command, the AMPV operates in various roles for the warfighter, with hulls that serve as a foundation to upgrade to future mission roles.

Investments are underway to create a more modular chassis that will allow for quick integration of next-generation technologies and capabilities to support potential future customer needs.

The Army first awarded BAE Systems the AMPV engineering and manufacturing development contract in 2014 and signed a low-rate initial production contract in 2018. This most recent milestone follows the program’s full rate production contract award in August 2023.
