The US Army has awarded General Dynamics Land Systems a $54.3 million contract to provide field-level maintenance and sustainment services for its Stryker armored vehicle fleet.The agreement covers original equipment manufacturer assistance, field service representatives, and vehicle fielding support. General Dynamics will also assist units when electronic technical manuals and logistics products have not yet been fully incorporated into Army systems.The contract remains active through August 24, 2031. Specific work locations and funding will be established through individual orders issued under the agreement.The Stryker serves as the primary combat and combat-support vehicle for the Army’s Stryker Brigade Combat Teams. Its eight-wheeled design provides protected mobility, battlefield maneuverability, and firepower while supporting a broad range of missions.The vehicle family includes variants for infantry transport, reconnaissance, command and control, medical evacuation, engineering, mortar operations, and anti-armor missions.Continuing Stryker ModernizationThe sustainment contract arrives as the Army continues upgrading the Stryker fleet. In December 2025, soldiers conducted live-fire testing of an improved Stryker equipped with a 30mm autocannon during an exercise at Yakima Training Center.During the exercise, troops also employed digital command-and-control systems that provided commanders with real-time battlefield information to support decisions involving vehicle movement and fire-control actions.The Army also began receiving Strykers equipped with upgraded double-V hulls in March 2025. The revised hull design is intended to redirect blast effects from mines and explosive devices away from vehicle occupants.General Dynamics has additionally been evaluating enhanced armor technologies through the Stryker Enhanced Armor program. The assessment is focused on integration and durability of protection systems developed by the DEVCOM Ground Vehicle Systems Center.The latest contract will therefore provide essential field support while the Army continues introducing new protection, weapons, and digital capabilities across its Stryker formations.
