U.S. Army contracts General Dynamics for new Army Ground Mobility Vehicles – Defence Blog

The U.S. U.S. Military Contracting Command has issued a $14,four million contract for Military Floor Mobility Autos from Common Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Techniques.

The contract, introduced Friday by the U.S. Division of Protection, is offered for the manufacturing of Military Floor Mobility Autos and related kits.

Additionally famous that work areas and funding can be decided with every order, with an estimated completion date of Nov. 16, 2019.

In keeping with Common Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Techniques, the Military Floor Mobility Car fulfills a necessity within the airborne and air assault operations undertaken by Airborne Infantry Fight Groups. The A-GMV 1.1 is configured to hold an airborne infantry squad of 9 paratroopers, and their related tools (a payload capability of over 5,000 kilos.)

The car’s open design permits for a number of mission roles and might be modified to simply accept doable package configurations reminiscent of distant and manned turrets, armor and arctic kits if the Military develops a requirement for them sooner or later.

A-GMVs will enable Troopers faster mobility, than by foot, throughout an operational space, to shut on an goal with much less fatigue and higher readiness. The Military can ship the car to the sphere by airdrop or helicopter, rising the flexibleness of Troopers on the transfer:

9-man squad carrying functionality

Inside/exterior carry by CH-47, Chinook helicopter

Low-Velocity Air Drop by fixed-wing C-130 or C-17 transport plane

Distinctive mobility over all terrains

On October, Common Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Techniques has efficiently accomplished supply of the primary Military-Floor Mobility Autos (A-GMV 1.1) to the US Military. This marks the First Unit Outfitted (FUE) with the brand new A-GMV 1.1 functionality, which was delivered inside 4 months of contract award and consisted of autos, spares and coaching.

“The A-GMV 1.1 gives the Military with a car of superior off street mobility. We’re proud to assist the Military in accelerating this functionality to the sphere.” mentioned Steve Elgin, vice chairman and common supervisor of armament and platform methods for Common Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Techniques.

GD-OTS, True Velocity announces weapons technology partnership

True Velocity has announced a partnership with General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GD-OTS) to develop new weapons technologies.

Texas-based True Velocity and GD-OTS have expanded their partnership to develop the Next Generation Squad Weapon systems to replace the M4 and M249 platforms.

GD-OTS was one of five companies awarded contracts by the U.S. Army in July 2018 to develop prototypes of the Next Generation Squad Automatic Rifle.

True Velocity has partnered with GD-OTS to support its new weapon system with a revolutionary composite case design that will yield significant ballistic improvements over traditional brass-cased ammunition, while also reducing the weight of a loaded cartridge, improving accuracy, decreasing thermal heat signature and diminishing wear and tear on the weapon system.

“True Velocity is committed to producing composite-cased ammunition that is superior to standard brass-cased ammunition in every way,” said True Velocity President Chris Tedford. “We feel strongly that our partnership with General Dynamics will result in a disruptive, technologically advanced weapon system that will afford our military a distinct advantage on the battlefield.”

The NGSAR is expected to improve upon the firepower and effective range of the M16 and M4 platforms, while simultaneously yielding capability improvements in accuracy and lethality, according to the Army. The weapon will weigh less than its predecessor, fire lightweight ammunition and have reduced acoustic and flash signature.

“By integrating the General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems Next Generation Squad Weapon with True Velocity’s superior composite-cased ammunition, we can provide the U.S. Army with the right balance of lethality, weight reduction, and over-match capability. We are excited for this partnership as we build on our capabilities as a system integrator” said Steve Elgin, vice president and general manager of armament and platform systems for GD-OTS.

The deadline for the submission of prototypes is anticipated prior to the end of 2019.

General Dynamics delivers first vehicles for U.S. Army’s Ground Mobility Vehicle program

General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems announced that the company has successfully completed delivery of the first Army-Ground Mobility Vehicles (A-GMV 1.1) to the US Army. 

According to the company’s statement,  this marks the First Unit Equipped (FUE) with the new A-GMV 1.1 capability, which was delivered within four months of contract award and consisted of vehicles, spares and training.

The Army Ground Mobility Vehicle fulfills a need in the airborne and air assault operations undertaken by Airborne Infantry Combat Teams. The A-GMV 1.1 is configured to carry an airborne infantry squad of nine paratroopers, and their associated equipment (a payload capacity of over 5,000 pounds.) The vehicle’s open design allows for multiple mission roles and can be modified to accept possible kit configurations such as remote and manned turrets, armor and arctic kits if the Army develops a requirement for them in the future. The A-GMV 1.1 can be transported by Army inventory helicopters.

“The A-GMV 1.1 provides the Army with a vehicle of superior off road mobility. We’re proud to support the Army in accelerating this capability to the field.” said Steve Elgin, vice president and general manager of armament and platform systems for General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems.

A family of unique modular, military grade, mission-ready vehicles is designed to be internally transportable via CH-47 Helicopter as well as U.S. Air Force C–130 Hercules and C-17 Globemaster III heavy lift aircraft.

Built for speed, mobility and maneuverability, the new vehicles allow operators to access previously denied terrain in demanding environments. These versatile vehicles can be reconfigured to support multiple crew and mission profiles, from three to nine operators with full payload and mission profile kits.
