Stryker Medium Caliber Weapon System

摘要

In early June an Oshkosh Defense-led team was awarded a US Army contract to outfit Double V-Hull Al Stryker (DVHA1) vehicles with 30 mm cannons. The company is partnered with Rafael and Pratt Miller, the latter of which Oshkosh recently acquired, and received a contract worth up to USD942 million over six years for the service's Medium Caliber Weapon Systems (MCWSs) programme. For now, the army is spending approximately USD130 million on 91 vehicles. However, more work and expense are anticipated. The army has approved plans to outfit three brigades with 83 MCWSs each and the contract could increase to the upper limits if the service decides to field six brigades-worth of vehicles, Colonel Bill Venable, Stryker Brigade Combat Team project manager, said on 3 June.
