Vehicle armor components contracts awarded

Armored HMMWV program awards new contracts to provide vehicle armor system components for support of US military forces.

A leading manufacturer and distributor of military vehicles, vehicle armor systems and life safety and survivability systems serving military, law enforcement, homeland security and commercial markets, Armor Holdings, Inc., announced today the receipt of an order from AM General valued at $50.3 million under a blanket purchase agreement to provide armor components for the M1151, M1152 and M1165 Up-Armored HMMWV program. Armor Holdings stated that deliveries will supply armor system components for inclusion in the AM General vehicle manufacturing process as well as armor kits specifically designed for application in times when additional armor protection is required. Work under this order will be completed during first quarter 2007 by the Armor Holdings Aerospace and Defense Group at its facilities near Cincinnati, Ohio.

In addition, the company acknowledges the receipt of a $183.2 million order for production of M1114 Up-Armored HMMWV supplemental armor components that increase IED protection levels. The Company stated that the new work is a modification to its existing multi-year contract with the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command. Production is to be completed in 2007 by the Armor Holdings Aerospace and Defense Group at its facilities near Cincinnati, Ohio.
