BAE Systems To Set 146 Bradley Fighting Vehicles For U.S Army

BAE Systems has won a $97 million contract to reset up to 146 Bradley Fighting Vehicles in the U.S. Army inventory. Under the reset effort, Bradley vehicles will be partially torn down, rebuilt and tested to restore and extend the life of the vehicles. “We are proud to ensure that our soldiers are receiving Bradleys that are restored to their full capability,” said Mark Signorelli, vice president and general manager of Vehicle Systems at BAE Systems. “This important work reinforces the Bradley as a vital asset to the U.S. Army and helps maintain the skilled workforce imperative to the defense industrial base”. The contract was awarded by the U.S. Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command and work is anticipated to begin in October 2012 with final delivery expected in July 2014. This is considered a level-II vehicle reset where key components are removed for reset, then returned to BAE Systems and the Red River Army Depot to be rebuilt and tested for performance.
