NEW YORK (AP) -- General Dynamics said Friday its Canadian land systems unit has been awarded a $35.5 million contract to build 24 light armored vehicles for the U.S. Marine Corps.
The eight-wheeled amphibious vehicles, which are equipped with automatic fire-suppression systems, will be built in Ontario by April 2012. A total of 207 of the vehicles have been ordered by the Marine Corps since 2007.
The contract was signed through the Canadian Commercial Corp., an agency of the Canadian Government.
