BAE Systems,

SANTA CLARA: BAE Systems has been awarded a contract modification valued at $6 million to deliver 360 Marine Corps Transparent Armored Gun Shield (MCTAGS) turret kits for HMMWV vehicles and Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles to the U.S. Marine Corps. 
 
“Since initial deployment in 2006, MCTAGS has received positive customer feedback,” said Peter Chu, chief engineer of armor kits for BAE Systems. ”Our MCTAGS kits provide gunners with enhanced situational awareness while under armor protection.” 
 
Work will be performed at BAE Systems facilities in Louisville, Kentucky; Santa Clara, California and York, Pennsylvania. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in November and continue through February 2008. 
 
This modification, when combined with the contract awarded in July, brings the total contract value to $23.6 million. The total number of MCTAGS turret kits BAE Systems has on contract is 1,335. 
 
BAE Systems MCTAGS units have been fielded on a wide range of vehicles, including the M1 Abrams, Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement, M88 Family of Vehicles, Logistics Vehicle System and the Joint Explosive Ordnance Disposal Rapid Response Vehicle. MCTAGS units are particularly effective in close-combat urban environments. 

BAE Systems is the premier global defense and aerospace company delivering a full range of products and services for air, land and naval forces, as well as advanced electronics, information technology solutions and customer support services. With 96,000 employees worldwide, BAE Systems' sales exceeded $27 billion in 2006 on a pro forma basis, assuming BAE Systems had owned Armor Holdings Inc for the whole of 2006.
