摘要

NEWTOWN, Conn. -- The Australian Light Armored Vehicle and Singapore's Bionix programs continue to account for the largest portion of 25mm M242 Bushmaster export sales. With the M242 Bushmaster, as well as the other members of the Chain Gun family of weapons, Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems (Orbital ATK) has become the world's largest producer of medium-caliber automatic ordnance. Tied to the Bradley Fighting Vehicle Despite its expanding list of vehicular applications, the M242 Bushmaster will remain most closely tied to the fortunes of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. The objective of the U.S. Army's Bradley Program is to upgrade the existing Bradley fleet to the most current configurations. According to U.S. Department of Defense FY20 budget request documentation (March 2019), the U.S. Army intends to spend $638.781 million on upgrading A2 series Bradley Fighting Vehicles to the A4 configuration in FY20.
