The U.S. Army has awarded General Dynamics Land Systems a $712.3 million order for 300 Stryker DVHA1 vehicles. This latest order comes under a five-year contract signed in 2020 that includes an option for a sixth year.

The U.S. Army is pursuing enhanced survivability and capability in its Stryker brigades with the technologically advanced DVHA1s.

“The Stryker A1 features a 450-horsepower engine, 60,000-pound suspension, 910-amp alternator and in-vehicle digital network while continuing to provide unprecedented soldier survivability,” said Gordon Stein, vice president of U.S. operations at General Dynamics Land Systems. “Stryker is the Army’s largest combat vehicle fleet – combat-proven, cost-effective, highly mobile, versatile, sustainable and transportable. We are proud that our innovation, research, development and investment have evolved the Stryker into a next-generation platform for Stryker Brigade Combat Team formations and beyond.”

The Stryker will remain in service until 2050, and these improvements will allow the platform to adapt future capabilities and upgrades as they become available.
