General Dynamics awarded $257M contract modification for M10 Bookers

The Army awarded General Dynamics Land Systems a $257 million contract modification for low-rate initial production of the M10 Booker, according to a Monday Defense Department notice.

The M10 Bookers, the future mobile protected firepower vehicles for the Army, were officially christened this month after two servicemen who were killed during World War II and the 2003 Iraq War.

The Army awarded a $1.14 billion contract to GDLS for the production and fielding of up to 96 systems last year. Delivery of the first LRIP mobile protected firepower system is expected in 19 months, and the first unit equipped is scheduled for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, according to a recent Congressional Research Service report.

Monday’s contract modification notice states that work will be performed in Sterling Heights, MI, Anniston, AL and Lima, OH, with an estimated completion date of Oct. 18, 2025.
