美国陆军授予通用动力地面系统公司一份价值4440万美元的合同修改，继续升级其斯特瑞克双V型底盘A1车辆。该奖项由相关部门宣布，为总部位于密歇根州谢尔比海茨的制造商提供了44,394,688美元。工作计划持续到2030年2月20日。
工作核心是斯特瑞克双V型底盘A1，这是陆军升级后的装甲车变体，旨在更好地保护士兵免受路边炸弹和底部爆炸的影响。与早期的平底斯特瑞克不同，双V底盘模型使用重新设计的底部，有助于将爆炸能量从乘员舱引导走。这一设计源于在伊拉克和阿富汗作战行动中吸取的教训。
这项最新合同侧重于车辆的内部技术而非装甲改进。维护和训练模块套件旨在改善故障检测、乘员排障和持续支持，帮助部队更快识别问题并保持车辆运行。更快的诊断可以减少维护停机时间，而更好的显示器可帮助乘员和班长更有效地管理战场信息。陆军指出，升级后的双V底盘斯特瑞克正在取代旧的型号。
Key PointsThe Army awarded General Dynamics Land Systems a $44.4 million modification for Stryker Double V-Hull A1 upgrade kits through Feb. 20, 2030.The contract total rises to $63.96 million and covers maintenance modules and Squad Leader Display Version 3 kits.The U.S. Army has awarded General Dynamics Land Systems a $44.4 million contract modification to continue upgrading its Stryker Double V-Hull A1 vehicles.The award, announced by the Department of War, provides $44,394,688 to the Sterling Heights, Michigan-based manufacturer under modification PZ0004 to contract W912CH-25-D-0025.The work is scheduled to continue through Feb. 20, 2030, while specific work sites and funding allocations will be set with each order. Army Contracting Command at Detroit Arsenal, Michigan, is managing the award. - ADVERTISEMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOW - The work centers on the Stryker Double V-Hull A1, one of the Army’s upgraded armored vehicle variants built to better protect troops from roadside bombs and underbody blasts. Unlike earlier flat-bottom Strykers, the Double V-Hull model uses a redesigned underside that helps redirect blast energy away from the crew compartment.That design emerged from lessons learned during combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, where improvised explosive devices posed a major threat to armored vehicles and mounted infantry units.This latest contract is focused on the vehicle’s internal technology rather than armor changes. The maintenance and training module kits are intended to improve fault detection, crew troubleshooting, and sustainment support, helping units identify problems faster and keep vehicles operational.The upgrade is less about changing how the Stryker looks and more about improving how it functions. Faster diagnostics can reduce maintenance downtime, while better displays help crews and squad leaders manage battlefield information more effectively.The Army noted that upgraded Double V-Hull Strykers are replacing older flat-bottom-hull vehicles within brigade formations. That replacement effort continues a broader modernization push aimed at keeping the Stryker fleet viable for future ground combat missions.The Stryker remains one of the Army’s most widely used armored vehicle platforms, serving in troop transport, reconnaissance, command, and specialized support roles across multiple formations.General Dynamics Land Systems, as the original manufacturer and longtime prime contractor for the Stryker program, remains central to that effort. This latest award keeps the Double V-Hull A1 upgrade program moving forward through 2030.
