Bill Sheehy, Ground Maneuver product line director for BAE Systems, said the updated vehicles will deliver a significant battlefield advantage. “Lethality, performance and next-generation capability is what the Bradley A4 brings to the fight,” he said. “It’s critical that we continue upgrading Bradleys to the modern A4 configuration so that warfighters have the equipment they need to dominate. This award not only fuels our commitment to keep the Army and our allies ready for the fight, but it also ensures our U.S. manufacturing lines stay hot and ready for continued production.”
The Bradley A4 is described as a key capability for the Army’s Armored Brigade Combat Team formation, designed to lower logistics demand through durable construction and shared components. Its digital electronics improve situational awareness, network connectivity and communication across the formation to support operations in any environment.
Production is being carried out in partnership with Red River Army Depot and across BAE Systems sites in South Carolina, Alabama, Minnesota, California, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Work has already begun, and the first upgraded vehicles are scheduled to be delivered by October 2026.
