BAE Systems Receives $7 Million Order

BAE Systems (BAESY) announced today that it has received a $7 million order from Daimler Trucks North America to produce armor kits for M915A5 military line haul tractors. U.S. Army and reserve units often use M915 series line haul tractors to transport needed troop supplies from ocean ports to division support areas within a theatre of operation. Working with DTNA, BAE Systems developed an armor package for the M915A5 model, consisting of both an A-kit and B-kit. BAE Systems received an initial $32 million contract for M915A5 A-kits from DTNA in September 2009.
