Honeywell [HON] yesterday said it was awarded a three-year, $72.4 million maintenance and training contract from the Army for Total Package Fielding Army Modernization Training to provide mission-capable vehicles and requisite training to safely operate and maintain heavy tactical vehicles.
“HTSI has been involved in Total Package Fielding for over 18 years, and our experienced staff of professional managers, mechanics and instructors offers the Army the best value team available,” said Carey Smith, president of Honeywell Technology Solutions Inc (HTSI). “Our teams have fielded and trained thousands of soldiers all over the world, and they understand the importance of ensuring that our soldiers are equipped to operate and maintain these trucks in any situation and in any region.”
Heavy Tactical is part of the Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) Heavy Tactical Vehicles Program Manager under the TACOM Transportation Systems Program Executive Office.
The 10-ton heavy tactical vehicles are integral to the Army’s logistical footprint worldwide and move personnel, supplies and equipment. Many of these truck systems– such as the Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck, the Heavy Equipment Transporter and the Palletized Load System–are legacy vehicle systems that have been regularly updated with the latest technology and capabilities, and some have received full armor packages.
