General Dynamics Land Systems Awarded $323 Million by U.S. Army for Additional M10 Booker Combat Vehicles

Low-rate initial production continuing for new direct-fire tracked combat vehicle

STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. - The U.S. Army has awarded General Dynamics Land Systems a $322.7 million contract for continued low-rate initial production (LRIP) of the M10 Booker Combat Vehicle, a new assault vehicle for the Army's Infantry Brigade Combat Teams (IBCTs).

The M10 Booker moves rapidly in a variety of terrain conditions to engage and destroy enemy combatants, allowing freedom of movement and enhanced survivability on the battlefield.

As part of low-rate initial production, multiple Booker vehicles have been delivered to the Army to support government testing and logistics efforts. The Booker employs a four-person crew and features an enhanced thermal viewer, a large-caliber cannon, a lightweight hull and turret, and a modern diesel engine, transmission and suspension system. It has been designed from the start for capability upgrades, based on future operational needs.

Work on the contract will be performed in Sterling Heights, Mich.; Anniston, Ala.; Lima, Ohio, Tallahassee, Fla., and Scranton, Pa., with an estimated completion date of Oct. 20, 2026

"The M10 Booker provides IBCTs with a safe and effective platform to complete their mission - one that may include bunkers, machine guns or armored vehicles," said Gordon Stein, General Dynamics Land Systems vice president and general manager for U.S. operations. "We are honored to continue to manufacture the M10 Booker Combat Vehicle."
