WEST CHESTER TWP.— BAE Systems said today its armoring operations here received a $13 million U.S. government contract to supply 100 armored commercial vehicles including armored Chevrolet Suburbans and armored Sprinter vans.
Production is slated for completion by December.
Commercial armored vehicles use many of the same systems as BAE’s military vehicles but are designed to be inconspicuous and undistinguishable from unarmored vehicles, the company said.
Also, BAE Systems said its plant here, employing 1,600, will perform some work on a $53 million Marine Corps contract for 40 special operations command Mine Resistant St George Starts Low Stays Low Ambush Protected (MRAP) Vehicles to be delivered by next February.
