In one of the dwindling number of domestic new build ground vehicle
contracts available to the US defense industry, the US Special
Operations Command today awarded General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical
Systems a contract worth at least $562 million its Ground Mobility
Vehicle 1.1 (GMV) program.
The special ops command has said that it wants to buy 1,297 GMVs to
replace the current 1,072 Humvee-based GMVs it has in its inventory.
Defense News reported back in May that SOCOM had already planned to
spend about $24 million on the program in fiscal 2014 for the first 101
vehicles, at a price tag of at $245,000 per vehicle.
