General Dynamics‘ ordnance and tactical systems business has delivered a ground vehicle to the U.S. Army within four months of contract award.
The service accepted its first Army-Ground Mobility Vehicle built to transport a nine-member airborne infantry squad and up to 5K pounds of equipment, General Dynamics said Wednesday.
