BAE Systems and the U.S. Army have agreed to a contract modification exceeding $390 million. This agreement will enhance more Bradley Fighting Vehicles. This new order will provide the Army with upgraded Bradley A4 platforms. These vehicles are ready for the future. They will boost lethality, survivability, and crew safety compared to older models.
“Lethality, performance and next-generation capability is what the Bradley A4 brings to the fight,” said Bill Sheehy, Ground Maneuver product line director for BAE Systems. “It’s critical that we continue upgrading Bradleys to the modern A4 configuration so that warfighters have the equipment they need to dominate. This award not only fuels our commitment to keep the Army and our allies ready for the fight, but it also ensures our U.S. manufacturing lines stay hot and ready for continued production.”
The Bradley A4 is a vital part of the Army’s Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT). It offers advanced features and is based on a strong, reliable platform. The vehicle’s new electronics system boosts situational awareness and network connectivity. It also improves communication across the ABCT. This helps forces handle threats in any terrain. It also reduces maintenance and logistics needs.

These facilities are in Aiken, SC; Anniston, AL; Minneapolis, MN; San Jose, CA; Sterling Heights, MI; and York, PA. Work on the contract has started. Initial vehicle deliveries should be done by October 2026.
