10:12 Wednesday, December 23, 2020 (RTTNews.com) - General Dynamics Land Systems, a business unit of General Dynamics (GD), said that it has received a $4.6 billion fixed-price-incentive contract from the U.S. Army to produce M1A2 SEPv3 Abrams main battle tanks.

The company noted that work locations and funding will be determined with each order, with an estimated completion date of June 17, 2028. The first delivery order is valued at an estimated $406 million.
