BAE Systems has been awarded a contract modification from the U.S. Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command, totaling $709.4 million, for the reset of Bradley Fighting Vehicles and associated components. This modification represents the largest national level reset award for Bradley Combat Systems to date. When combined with an earlier award of $234 million for long lead materials and the option worth $57 million, this effort represents over $1 billion for the reset of Bradley Fighting Vehicles.

Under the base contract, BAE Systems will reset 1,042 Bradley A3 and ODS Combat Systems returning from Iraq and reset additional A3 components. The contract also carries an option for an additional 58 vehicles.

"This is the most significant reset effort ever awarded for Bradley Combat Systems and is vital to ensuring our soldiers have their highly survivable, mobile and lethal Bradley systems back in top condition as soon as possible," said Andy Hove, vice president of Combat Systems Programs for BAE Systems.

Vehicles that undergo the reset process not only have their useful life restored that was consumed during combat operations, they also receive the latest survivability enhancements and other improvements to greater protect our soldiers in future conflicts.
