General Dynamics Land Systems received a $44.4 million modification from the U.S. Department of War to supply technology and diagnostics upgrades for Stryker Double V-Hull A1 vehicles under contract W912CH-25-D-0025, bringing that contract's total to $63.96 million. Separately, General Dynamics Electric Boat Corp. was awarded a $37.6 million cost-plus-fixed-fee modification for Virginia-class submarine support under contract N00024-20-C-2120, with options that could raise the modification to $71.03 million.

Key Points

  • General Dynamics Land Systems received a $44.4 million modification to contract W912CH-25-D-0025, increasing the contract total to $63.96 million for Stryker Double V-Hull A1 upgrades.
  • The five-year requirements contract includes squad leader display version 3 kits; specific work locations and funding will be determined with each order, with completion expected by Feb. 20, 2030.
  • General Dynamics Electric Boat Corp. received a $37.6 million cost-plus-fixed-fee modification to contract N00024-20-C-2120 for Virginia-class submarine lead yard support and development studies, with options that could increase the modification to $71.03 million and completion by April 2027.

Summary: General Dynamics has received two separate contract modifications that expand its work supporting Army Stryker vehicles and Navy Virginia-class submarines. The Land Systems division will deliver maintenance and training module kits and diagnostic upgrades for Stryker Double V-Hull A1 platforms, while the Electric Boat division will provide lead yard support and development studies for Virginia-class submarines. Both actions include defined completion targets and funding arrangements tied to individual orders.


Stryker contract modification

General Dynamics Land Systems, based in Sterling Heights, Michigan, was awarded a $44.4 million modification by the U.S. Department of War on Wednesday. The change order covers upgrades to technology and diagnostics for Stryker Double V-Hull A1 vehicles and will fund maintenance and training module kits under contract W912CH-25-D-0025.

The modification raises the total value of that contract to $63.96 million. The underlying agreement is a five-year requirements contract that specifically includes squad leader display version 3 kits for the military vehicles. According to the contracting notice, work locations and specific funding will be identified with each order issued under the contract, and the work is scheduled for completion by Feb. 20, 2030.

The Army Contracting Command at Detroit Arsenal, Michigan, is listed as the contracting activity. The contract award followed a single bid received via an internet solicitation.


Electric Boat modification for submarine support

In a separate action, General Dynamics Electric Boat Corp., headquartered in Groton, Connecticut, received a $37.6 million cost-plus-fixed-fee modification to contract N00024-20-C-2120. The modification covers lead yard support and development studies in support of Virginia-class submarines.

The change includes options that could raise the total modification value to $71.03 million. Work for this modification will be carried out in McLeansville, North Carolina, with completion expected by April 2027.

At the time of award, Naval Sea Systems Command in Washington, D.C., will obligate $23 million in fiscal 2026 research, development, test and evaluation funds.


Context and next steps

Both contract modifications specify completion horizons and note that certain funding and work locations will be determined through subsequent orders or options. The actions expand General Dynamics' existing engagements with U.S. military procurement offices for land vehicle upgrades and submarine support services.

Risks

  • Work locations and funding for the Stryker contract will be determined with each order, introducing timing and funding uncertainty for when specific tasks will begin or be financed - this affects defense procurement and contractor cash flow predictability.
  • The Electric Boat modification includes options that could change the total value; whether those options are exercised will affect the ultimate scale of work and related obligations - this impacts shipbuilding support schedules and budgeting.
  • Both contracts have defined completion dates (Feb. 20, 2030 for Stryker work and April 2027 for Electric Boat work), but the actual progress and timing depend on subsequent orders and fund obligations, which adds execution uncertainty for workforce and supply planning.
