That mission equipment package includes Raytheon\u2019s Stinger vehicle missile launcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The estimated completion date of the contract is Sept. 30, 2025, according to a Defense Department contract announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Work locations and funding will be determined with each order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GDLS officials told Defense News on Oct. 1 that the initial order for the contract, worth $230 million, is for 28 vehicles, and that the company has begun ordering material and laying out production for those vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first vehicle under this contract will roll off the line in roughly 18 months, but the first platoon will be fielded in March 2021 and the first battalion (of 32 vehicles) will be fielded in September 2021 using prototypes already built to fill it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A second battalion will be fielded in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/smr\/army-modernization\/2020\/03\/24\/us-army-to-wrap-up-early-testing-of-short-range-air-defense-system-soon\/\" target=_blank>wrapped up developmental testing for the SHORAD system<\/a> after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/smd\/2020\/08\/05\/armys-interim-short-range-air-defense-system-on-track-despite-minor-hiccup-in-tests\/\" target=_blank>experiencing a minor \u201chiccup\u201d <\/a>that, when paired with complications due to the coronavirus pandemic, set the program back by a few weeks, Maj. Gen. Robert Rasch, the service\u2019s program executive officer for missiles and space, said Aug. 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The production contract award came on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It took just 19 months from the time the service generated the requirement to the first delivery of a platform for testing, answering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/smr\/road-to-warsaw\/2016\/06\/14\/us-army-grapples-with-short-range-air-defense-gap-in-europe\/\" target=_blank>an urgent call in 2016 from U.S. Army Europe to fill the short-range air defense capability gap<\/a>.
