General Dynamics Unit Awarded $280M to Supply Army Vehicle Protection System Kits

General Dynamics‘ (NYSE: GD) land systems business will provide active protection system kits to the U.S. Army for main battle tanks under a five-year, $280.1 million contract.

The service branch will use the Trophy kits on its M1A2 SEPv2 and M1A2 SEPv3 Abrams family of vehicles, the Department of Defense said Thursday.
