The project will validate a damage assessment and repair team trained with advanced tools and supported by a responsive supply chain. Using the Bradley IFV as a surrogate, the goal is to reduce repair times and maintain combat effectiveness near operational zones.
“This contract underscores American Rheinmetall’s commitment to delivering innovative, mission-critical products and services that support the highest priority operational capabilities for the U.S. military and its allies,” said Matt Warnick, Chief Executive Officer of American Rheinmetall. “By bringing advanced repair capabilities closer to the point of need, we are helping ensure that vital equipment like the Bradley Fighting Vehicle can return to service quickly and safely at a time of crucial need for Ukrainian armed forces.”
The demonstration supports U.S. foreign assistance by helping Ukraine restore combat vehicles amid the ongoing conflict with Russia. Once completed, the programme will offer a scalable model for remote repair in hazardous environments, enhancing operational resilience and equipment readiness.
The contract is scheduled to conclude in March 2027, with the first repaired Bradley IFVs expected to be delivered at that time. American Rheinmetall operates several U.S. sites including facilities in Michigan, Maine, Arkansas, Texas, and Virginia.
