General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products has received a contract valued at more than $150 million to produce armor tile sets for the Stryker family of military vehicles.
The tiles fasten to the exterior of the vehicles, allowing them to better withstand hits from anti-armor munitions, including rocket-propelled grenades.
The contact was awarded by sister company General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada.
Deliveries are expected to begin in March.
Charlotte-based General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products makes weapons systems, biological- and chemical-detection systems and mobile-shelter systems. It is a division of Virginia-based General Dynamics Corp. (NYSE:GD).
