Leonardo DRS, Inc. has been awarded a contract worth over $7 million by the U.S. Army through the U.S. Government Grant Assistance program. The contract involves providing and integrating Battle Management Systems (BMS) hardware and software into newly acquired combat vehicles for the Royal Thai Army.
As part of the agreement, Leonardo DRS will supply its ruggedised C4I BMS hardware and lead the integration of the technology. The scope of work includes BMS software integration, cyber protection, network integration, training, and ongoing support for the newly acquired Stryker vehicles. The company will collaborate with Chaiseri Defense, a local Thai defence firm, for installation, training, and in-country support for the program.
“Today’s complex threat environment requires allied forces be equipped with the most modern capabilities,” said Bill Guyan, senior vice president and general manager of the Leonardo DRS Land Electronics business unit. “Together with our teammate, Chaiseri Defense, we are proud to support our Royal Thailand Army allies by delivering proven capability and deep integration experience to ensure warfighters have the right tools for success on the battlefield.”
The system being provided is the international version of Leonardo DRS's Mounted Family of Computer Systems, which is also used by the U.S. Army. The BMS enhances command and control, accelerates tactical operations, improves situational awareness, aids in combat identification, and facilitates the rapid recovery of injured soldiers in challenging environments.
Leonardo DRS has a long-standing focus on network computing and integration and remains a leading provider of C4/C5 technologies for the U.S. military and allied forces globally. The company continues to advance its capabilities in tactical computing systems, AI processing solutions, and next-generation C5ISR/EW modular systems, with a focus on improving sensor fusion and reducing cognitive burdens for commanders and crews.
Headquartered in Arlington, VA, Leonardo DRS, Inc. provides advanced defence technology to U.S. national security customers and international allies. The company specialises in the design, development, and manufacture of technologies related to sensing, network computing, force protection, electric power and propulsion, and other mission-critical capabilities.
