Infantry Squad Vehicle-Heavy (ISV-H) Prototype Award
Competitive prototype development contract for the Army's Infantry Squad Vehicle-Heavy (ISV-H) upgrade; GM Defense is one of three companies (with Ford Motor Co. and BC Customs) building prototypes for evaluation — production has NOT yet been awarded.
Awarded 2026-06-30, an Other Transaction Authority (OTA) prototype-phase award of $3.33M to each of the three competitors. Each delivers 3 ISV-H prototypes (9 total across all three) by 2027-03-30, ahead of Army Test and Evaluation Command assessment. The Army's FY2027 budget request calls for an initial buy of 34 ISV-H at ~$463,000/vehicle, with a long-term program goal of 606 vehicles — a production win could exceed $1B for whichever contractor's prototype is selected, but no production award has been made as of this review.
