BAE Systems plc has received a $42 million U.S. Army contract to produce bar armor kits that protect soldiers in ground vehicles from rocket-propelled grenade attacks. The company will produce L-ROD(R) bar armor kits for the U.S. Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command's RG-31 and Cougar mine-resistant, ambush-protected vehicles.

BAE Systems plc's Security & Survivability business received the contract in connection with a $220 million program the US Army established to phase out existing T-10 parachutes, replacing them with new T-11 Personnel Parachute Systems. The company is one of three companies which qualified for and received an initial contract to produce the T-11 parachutes. The five year contract allows for future orders, which will be awarded based on performance.
