The FMS contract was awarded by the US Army Contracting Command for the production and supply of up to 11,560 new HMMWVs over a five-year period.
AM General said it has already received orders for more than a quarter of the total maximum value of the contract.
The HMMWV platform is capable of performing more mission roles than any other tactical vehicle in the world, according to AM General.
