The increased power generated is required to support future communication and control suites and enhanced mission packages that will enable increased interoperability across the future combat system network, according to a representative.
Hamilton Sundstrand's Space & Defense division, in Rockford, Ill., will fulfill this initial contract, covering development through qualification and delivery of the required integrated generator assemblies and generator control units for initial vehicle testing over a two-year period.
The contract award is part of the Phase I Stryker Modernization program, designed to increase the combat capabilities of a proven military vehicle by incorporating lessons learned in Afghanistan and Iraq. Improvements include enhanced engine/transmission suspension, height management system, central tire inflation systems brakes, driveline, hull structure, seats and environmental upgrades.
