The increase will depend on the US Army’s future demand and annual allocations with an agreement due later this year.

The CROWS II programme is a joint acquisition programme for a remote-control weapon system that protects and enables military troops to acquire and engage targets from within the vehicle.

The initial CROWS II framework agreement was disclosed on 22 August 2007.
