The IAV Stryker is a family of 8x8 chassis armored fighting vehicles derived from the wheeled armoured vehicle Canadian LAV III, which in turn was based on the Swiss MOWAG Piranha III 8x8, and produced by General Dynamics Land Systems.

The Stryker vehicle can reach speeds of more than 60 mph and handle any type of terrain. It also has 10 different configurations and 85% commonality across the entire fleet.

The upgrades will restore mobility and ensure Stryker vehicles are able to accept future Army network components.

Bids were solicited via the Internet with one received.

Work locations and funding will be determined with each order, with an estimated completion date of April 30, 2019.
