ARMY, GENERAL DYNAMICS PITCH $412M PLAN FOR STRYKER 'LETHALITY UPGRADE'

Abstract

Lobbyists for GDLS are telling congressional defense committees the company could meet the Army's needs within 18 to 24 months if Congress were to inject an additional $314 million into the service's $74.1 million Stryker procurement request for FY-16, along with adding $97.5 million to the Army's $257.2 million combat vehicle research and development account "to meet an urgent need," according to an information paper obtained by InsideDefense.com.
