The US Army is procuring an unspecified number of heavy vehicles of the Armored Ground Mobility System (AGMS) from General Dynamics European Land Systems (GDLS) as part of a new $55.85 million contract. The vehicles come from Vienna, Austria, and are expected to be completed by June 2023.
The 6x6 Armored Ground Mobility System (AGMS) is a specially modified version of the Pandur I APC. It has been in use by the US Special Operations Command since the late 1990s. Features of the AGMS include a 6-cylinder engine with 6.6 liters of displacement, a shielded weapon mount on the roof for an M2 .50 caliber machine gun or a 40mm grenade launcher, a shielded driver's cab, an electronic countermeasures system for combating improvised explosive devices, and secure radio communication. The AGMS has a range of 650 km and can transport nine people (up to seven soldiers plus driver and commander).
