MK47 'STRIKER40' Weapon System

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products, a business unit of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), on June 7 was awarded a $23.5 million contract from the U.S. government for production of the MK47 MOD 0 Weapon System, a lightweight 40mm grenade launcher.

The award is part of a five-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract with a total potential value of $82 million.

The MK47, also known as STRIKER40, is a lightweight grenade launcher capable of firing airbursting munitions. Its integrated Fire Control system provides a decisive technological advantage over enemy forces equipped with older crew-served weapons.

Work will be completed at General Dynamics' facility in Saco, Maine. General Dynamics is partnered with Raytheon (Dallas, Texas/Forest, Miss.) to build the Lightweight Video System (LVS) Fire Control. Program administration will be conducted at General Dynamics' Vermont-based Burlington Technology Center.
