BAE Lands $493 Million Army Deal for Enhanced M109A7 Howitzers and M992A3 Carriers!
BAE Systems secured a $493 million agreement to persist in the manufacture of M109A7 Self-Propelled Howitzers (SPH) and M992A3 Ammunition Carriers for the U.S. Army.
This contract acquisition comprises production and delivery scheduled between August 2025 and July 2026.
The M109A7 delivers dependable, advanced capabilities for the Army’s Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT). The M109A7 guarantees Soldiers access to the most contemporary artillery capabilities that are exceptionally survivable, maintainable, tested, and agile on the battlefield.
“Our focus is on manufacturing and deploying cutting-edge artillery capabilities that provide the Army with superiority in range, precision, and lethality,” stated Dan Furber, head of ground vehicle production for BAE Systems’ Combat Mission Systems division. “This agreement assures the ABCT will maintain operations of one of the most resilient indirect fire support systems for years ahead.”
BAE Systems remains devoted to the future of the M109A7 initiative, ensuring that Soldiers are outfitted with mission-ready artillery solutions even in the most demanding environments or circumstances. Being one of the lightest tracked SPH systems on the battlefield, the vehicle is designed with a versatile chassis and advanced technology.
Engineered with uniformity across the ABCT formation, the M109A7 presents a low-risk choice for forthcoming enhancements while alleviating the logistics load and curtailing maintenance expenses. The M109A7’s standardization also aids allied nations currently utilizing U.S. military systems by maintaining interoperability through support, mobility, and transportation features.
The M109A7 commenced full-rate production in 2020. This latest order elevates the total contract value to nearly $3 billion.
BAE Systems has recently intensified production and support initiatives for M109A7 and M992A3 in Anniston, Alabama, alongside operations completed across the company’s extensive industrial network in York, Pennsylvania; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Sterling Heights, Michigan; Endicott, New York; Elgin, Oklahoma; and Aiken, South Carolina.
