Armored Vehicles
The Army’s M10 Booker is a modern combat vehicle designed for greater survivability that includes improved threat identification systems and off-roading capabilities. In April, the service branch received the first of these vehicles, and it is now looking to acquire hundreds more through a contract that has an expected value of $460-500 million and covers:
- 266 M10 Booker vehicles
- 31 M10 Booker refurbishment vehicles
- Ancillary services supporting production
The Army expects this initiative to run from fiscal years 2025-2029.
Logistics
Logistics are a crucial component of mission success, and the Army plans to address logistics challenges through a $390 million award under its Enhanced Army Global Logistics Enterprise program. This contract is focused on:
- Maintenance activities, such as field level logistics, tactical maintenance and test measurement and diagnostics equipment
- Supply services, including ammunition operations, Standard Army Mgt Information Systems operations and supply support activities
- Transportation functions, such as central receiving and shipping and non-tactical vehicles support
Artificial Intelligence
Organizations across the Department of Defense are racing to adopt artificial intelligence technologies, which could offer military forces major advantages on the battlefield if implemented successfully. Doing so requires a strong understanding of AI, and the Army is using the DOD-wide, $249 million AI Talent 2.0 On Ramp contract to build up its AI-trained workforce. This contract encompasses:
- Technical management services in the areas of agile development, cybersecurity, systems engineering and more
