The United States Army has chosen two of the nation’s major free-lance military manufacturers to compete for the opportunity to supply a new light tank program. BAE Systems and General Dynamics will each get up to 376 million dollars to outline and construct 12 light tank prototypes in the span of just fourteen months.

Maintaining military supremacy requires constant armament innovation and strategic development, and a guaranteed way to continuously uphold cutting-edge military modernization is by endorsing internal competition.

Outsourcing massive military contracts to different companies that can produce a wide array of different results is an effective way to explore several options in a short amount of time and guarantee that the outcome attained will be top-notch.

The US Army urgently needs to bolster its numerous infantry brigades with light armored vehicle support capable of deploying fast while still providing reliable protection to soldiers on foot; for this purpose, the US is commissioning the construction of 504 state-of-the-art light tanks.

After BAE and General Dynamics deliver the prototypes, the US Army will heavily test the vehicles to identify all possible advantages and disadvantages and subsequently choose one of the companies as a fixed provider for their new fleet of tanks.

Few details about the ambitious designs that each of the massive corporations are bringing to the table have come out to the public, but the enthralling race looks poised to deliver an unprecedented outcome, with expectations at a scorching high.
