The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, coupled with integration and supply chain issues are preventing BAE Systems and General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) from delivering ‘light tank’ prototypes to the US Army on time, Janes has learned.

Each company is under a contract valued up to USD376 million to build 12 Mobile Protected Firepower (MPF) prototypes with the expectation that they would be delivered between March and the end of August.

“We will not receive all prototype deliveries by the end of August,” Ashley John, the public affairs director for the army’s Program Executive Office for Ground Combat Systems, told Janes on 25 August. “Due to Covid-19 and other supply and integration issues, we expect to be receiving prototypes into Fiscal Year (FY) 2021”, which begin in October.

As of 26 August GDLS had delivered two MPF prototypes to the army, with a third slated to be delivered within days, Vice-President of GDLS Bob Lennox explained.
