BAE Systems Land Systems is a division of BAE Systems and part of the BAE Systems Land and Armaments operating group.

History

Land Systems was created in September 2004 when BAE merged the newly acquired Alvis Vickers business into BAE Systems RO Defence (the former Royal Ordnance) to create an integrated land warfare systems business. In March 2005 BAE Systems announced the acquisition of United Defense Industries (UDI), a major American land systems company. Following the completion of the merger process on June 24 2005, BAE Systems announced the creation of BAE Systems Land and Armaments encompassing United Defense and BAE Systems Land Systems.

In February 2008 the company was awarded a $185 million contract modification from the United States Army to manufacture 90 Army-configured and four United States Marine Corps-configured M88A2 Hercules armored recovery vehicles and authorized spares list parts.
