BAE Systems and the US Army have finalised a contract modification worth more than $390 million to upgrade additional Bradley Fighting Vehicles to the A4 configuration.
According to the release, the Bradley A4 will replace older variants and is intended to increase lethality, survivability and crew safety.
Bill Sheehy, who oversees ground manoeuvre products at BAE Systems, said “lethality, performance and next-generation capability is what the Bradley A4 brings to the fight” and argued that continued upgrades help ensure the Army has equipment suited for current operational demands.
He added that the award maintains production capacity across the firm’s manufacturing sites.
The company describes the Bradley A4 as part of the Army’s Armoured Brigade Combat Team structure. It cites updated electronics designed to improve situational awareness, network connectivity and communication within a brigade formation.
The work is being carried out with Red River Army Depot and involves a wide network of facilities in Aiken, Anniston, Minneapolis, San Jose, Sterling Heights and York. Production is already under way, and the company stated that first deliveries are scheduled for completion by October 2026.
I thought they were done with the bradley. A bit long in the tooth at this point, like the Warrior
As has been proved in Ukraine,they work,and work well.
Yeah they should be looking at Ajax…yes I know different but well you know.
That oversized “scout” vehicle? I wouldn’t wish that on even the Americans
