"With our specialized ability to
support the growing HIMARS fleet with greater mobility
and survivability, BAE Systems continues to demonstrate
a commitment to consistently provide our warfighters with
enhanced protection on the most reliable medium tactical
vehicles at the best value," said Chris Chambers,
line lead for BAE Systems.
The vehicles with ICP cabs will be produced
in Sealy, Texas and delivered to the Army by December
2011.
A unique design by BAE Systems, the HIMARS
ICP armored cab incorporates more than 40 enhancements
from previous cab designs. The ICP is designed to provide
increased crew protection from ballistic attacks, mine
blasts, foreign object debris and toxic fumes associated
with rocket launches. The cabs feature improved crew survivability,
hatch and door ergonomics, cab entry and exit, pressurization
and water entry sealing. Composite materials will be used
to meet mission success requirements.
BAE Systems' Sealy facility is a world-class
designer, volume manufacturer and through-life supporter
of high-quality, best value military tactical vehicles.
