BAESF | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- BAE Systems reported it has been awarded a multi-million dollar contract by Plasan North America to provide armoring solutions and components for MRAP All Terrain Vehicles (M-ATV) bound for deployment in Afghanistan.

The contract with Plasan underscores BAE Systems on-going and long-standing commitment to American troops and the MRAP program.

"Our history of support for the MRAP program ranges from designing and developing three MRAP variants, to supplying critical components on every MRAP platform, including-with the Plasan contract-the M-ATV," said Tony Russell, president of BAE Systems' Security & Survivability business.

As a subcontractor, BAE Systems will be working directly with Plasan which is providing M-ATV armoring kits to the Oshkosh to fulfill its contract with the U.S. Army TACOM LCMC.

Work on the contract will begin this month at BAE Systems' production facilities in Fairfield, Ohio.
