The M-2/M-3 Bradley is a heavy-fighting vehicle designed to transport infantry on the battlefield with armour protection, while providing covering fire to suppress enemy troops and armoured vehicles.

Bradleys are used by the US Army’s heavy brigade combat team (HBT) as an IFV, cavalry fighting, fire support, command and engineer squad vehicle.

A $55m contract has also been secured by the company earlier this month to support the second phase of Bradley engineering change proposal (ECP 2) programme through to 2017.
