The second contract, worth $11.7m, is to acquire the production cut-in for alternators and air conditioning for Stryker mobile gun system (MGS) vehicles.
The third contract is valued at $8.5m and will be used for equipment and components in support of total package fielding of Stryker vehicles.
GD Land Systems senior vice-president Mike Cannon said the contracts will continue to strengthen Stryker to protect troops in theatre.
The Stryker is an eight-wheeled combat vehicle that is lighter, smaller and more readily deployable for defence and disaster-response missions.
Work will be carried out at the company’s facilities in Sterling Heights, Michigan, US; London, UK; and Ontario, Canada, with completion expected by September 2011.
