General Dynamics gets Egyptian Abrams tank-related work

December 01-15, 2011

The US TACOM Lifecycle Management Command has awarded General Dynamics Land Systems, a business unit of General Dynamics, a $395 million contract for work under the Egyptian tank co-production programme. The contract funds the production of 125 M1A1 Abrams tank kits for the eleventh increment of the Egyptian co-production programme.

Since 1992, General Dynamics has provided components for kits used in the co-production programme. The parts are shipped to a production facility near Cairo, Egypt, where the tanks are manufactured for the Egyptian land forces. This latest increment will increase the number of Egyptian co-production-built tanks to 1,130. Deliveries will begin in July 2013 and continue to January 2016.
