Ground Military Application Products from BJG Electronics Group
According to the Congressional Budget Office, an estimated $5 billion is necessary to upgrade military ground vehicle operations by 2050. Abrams battle tanks (whose purchase price is expected to account for 40% of the total budget) and the highly versatile family of Stryker 8-wheeled vehicles are at the top of the list.
Both are made by General Dynamic Land Systems and have been in production for decades, with the newest Abrams battle tank released in 2020 called the M1A2 SEPv3. Over 500 of the older styles of military ground vehicles are currently in the process of being retrofitted to meet updated specs. Future plans also include new releases of Abrams tanks in 2025 and 2040.
