General Dynamics UK hands over 10,000th Bowman
Monday, 10 September, 2007
Soldiers and engineers celebrated a major milestone on 4 September, when the 10,000th vehicle converted with the advanced Bowman tactical communications and data system was handed to the British Armed Forces by prime contractor General Dynamics UK at the Ashchurch conversion facility. The conversion programme involves more than 700 different designs in 100 types of vehicle, from Challenger tanks to Land Rovers. General Dynamics UK won the contract to provide Bowman in 2001, and is delivering up to 100 vehicles a week.
