Teen solves centuries-old math problem
PHOENIX, June 21 (UPI) -- The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency has contracted BAE Systems for the production of Modular Lightweight Load Carrying Equipment systems.
Under the $128.6 million contract, BAE Systems will produce the MOLLE systems for use by the U.S. Army as their primary load-carrying equipment. The 37-component MOLLE system, each comprised of vests, pockets, backpacks and hydration load-carrying capabilities, is a vital asset for successful military operations.
If all options are exercised, the contract could be extended by two years bringing the total value to $374 million.
"With this new contract the Defense Logistics Agency has ensured that the MOLLE system and its individual components are sustained at the high levels required to meet the needs of our armed forces," Sean Martin, BAE Systems director, business development of individual equipment, said in a statement.
"This procurement of the MOLLE system is critical to maintaining solder effectiveness."
