The U.S. Army is set to receive a new fleet of enhanced, future-ready Bradley A4 Fighting Vehicles, marking a significant leap forward from previous variants. These upgraded vehicles are designed to dramatically improve lethality, survivability, and safety for Soldiers, ensuring they remain equipped for the complex demands of modern combat.
This delivery comes under a contract modification with BAE Systems valued at over $390 million, formalizing the production of additional Bradley A4s as part of the Army’s ongoing modernization efforts.
“Lethality, performance, and next-generation capability are at the core of the Bradley A4,” said Bill Sheehy, Ground Maneuver Product Line Director for BAE Systems. “Continuing to upgrade Bradleys to the A4 configuration ensures that Soldiers and warfighters have the tools they need to maintain dominance on the battlefield.
This award not only reinforces our commitment to the Army and allied forces but also keeps U.S. manufacturing lines operating at full capacity, ready to meet current and future needs.”

The Bradley A4 serves as a central component of the Army’s Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT), combining proven durability with a commonality of design that reduces logistical demands. Its state-of-the-art digitized electronics provide enhanced situational awareness, network connectivity, and seamless communications across the ABCT, giving Soldiers a decisive edge over adversaries in any environment or terrain.
Production and support for the Bradley A4 take place through BAE Systems’ robust U.S. defense industrial network, in close partnership with Red River Army Depot (RRAD). Key production and support facilities are located in Aiken, South Carolina; Anniston, Alabama; Minneapolis, Minnesota; San Jose, California; Sterling Heights, Michigan; and York, Pennsylvania.
This nationwide collaboration ensures that every vehicle meets strict quality standards while maintaining efficient production timelines. First deliveries under this contract are expected by October 2026, keeping the Army on track to field these modernized, battle-ready vehicles without delay.
