The Bradley vehicle transports infantry on the battlefield, provides fire cover to dismounted troops, and suppresses enemy tanks and fighting vehicles.
The US Army has called on BAE Systems to continue to ramp up production of Bradley A4 Armoured Fighting Vehicles in a contract modification worth more than $440m.
This latest Bradley increment will offer a modernised replacement to some of the Bradley vehicles that the US government gifted to Ukraine.
As of 6 September 2024, Ukraine’s largest donor of military assistance has furnished the war-torn country with more than 300 Bradley units and four Bradley Fire Support Team vehicles from its own inventory.
Production and support for the Bradley A4 will take place across the company’s industrial network, including Aitken, South Carolina; Anniston, Alabama; Minneapolis, Minnesota; San Jose, California; Sterling Heights, Michigan and York, Pennsylvania.
“Because of the the support for additional production of the modern… A4 variant, this enduring capability continues to make a difference for troops all over the world, ensuring they have firepower, mobility and survivability they need to achieve their missions,” commented Dan Furber, a senior official at BAE Systems’ Combat Mission Systems business.
