6 billion.

The award brings the AMPV program into full-rate production, making it the first newly designed and built tracked vehicle in the U.S. Army's fleet to reach this production stage in three decades, the contractor announced in a news release.

The AMPV replaces the U.S. Army's fleet of Vietnam War-era M113 family of vehicles. The multi-mission AMPV family of vehicles provides critical survivability, mobility, and interoperability upgrades to the Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT).

"Entering full-rate production is a momentous milestone in the lifecycle of a production program for both the U.S. Army and BAE Systems," Jeremy Tondreault, president of the Platforms & Services sector at BAE Systems, said in the release.
