The contract is valued at $18.8 million, with the total value potentially reaching $458.4 million if all options are exercised. According to the announcement, the location of work and funding will be determined for each individual order.
The contract was awarded by the Army Contracting Command. Completion of the agreement is expected by April 30, 2027.
The award continues a separate contract signed in February 2025 for the delivery of an undisclosed number of Infantry Squad Vehicles to the U.S. Army. According to Department of Defense data, 1,105 vehicles had already been delivered to Army units by November 2025.
The Army plans to field more than 9,000 of the vehicles in total. They have already been delivered to units including the 82nd Airborne Division and the 101st Airborne Division.
The Infantry Squad Vehicle is designed to transport a full infantry squad of up to nine soldiers. The vehicle is based on the civilian Chevrolet Colorado and uses commercially available components for approximately 90 percent of its construction.
The vehicle has a curb weight of 2,400 kilograms and a payload capacity of 1,450 kilograms. It is powered by a 2.8-liter turbocharged Duramax diesel engine producing 139 kilowatts and paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.
The ISV can be transported on external sling loads beneath UH-60 Black Hawk and CH-47 Chinook helicopters. It can also be carried inside the cargo bays of C-130 and C-17 aircraft as well as CH-47 helicopters, and can be delivered by low-altitude parachute drop.
The vehicle is equipped with electronic warfare systems including the Tactical Electronic Warfare System and the Multi-Domain Operations Weapon System. These systems are designed to support operations in modern combat environments.
The Infantry Squad Vehicle is expected to appear in several variants as the program evolves. Some versions have already been equipped with Altius loitering munition launchers and anti-tank missile launchers in a tank-destroyer configuration.
Other versions include a 20-kilowatt Army Multi-Purpose High Energy Laser system known as AMP-HEL. These laser-equipped vehicles are intended to provide mobile air defense for infantry brigade combat teams and higher-level formations.
The laser systems are designed to protect troops against individual unmanned aerial systems as well as larger drone swarms. The evolving variants reflect the Army’s effort to adapt the platform to multiple mission roles.
