The US Army wants to upgrade an additional batch of Bradley infantry fighting vehicles to M2A4s
The US Army has committed nearly $300m to BAE Systems. The modification to the previously signed agreement will allow for the modernisation of an additional batch of M2 Bradley combat vehicles.
Here's What We Know
The upgrade to the A4 level will improve the performance of the infantry fighting vehicle by installing new drivetrain and suspension components. After the upgrade, the M2 Bradley will have an improved fire control system that will improve fire accuracy and increase the speed of response of on-board systems to external threats.
