The SAIC-led GCV team includes Boeing, Krauss-Maffei Wegmann and Rheinmetall Defence as subcontractors, with SAIC as the prime contractor.

The US Army plans to acquire 1,874 units of the new vehicle, beginning in seven years, and also hopes to award three contracts, each valued at $450m, in April 2011.

The GCV programme is intended to replace its current aging fighting vehicles with a platform capable of carrying and protecting an entire squad from improvised explosive devices and modern warfare threats.
