Oct. 11 (UPI) -- The Defense Logistics Agency has contracted Clarke Power Services Inc., of Henderson, Kentucky, a maximum of about $17.6 million for five-ton, medium tactical vehicle transmissions.
The transmission produced by Clarke Power Services would be used in the Defense Department's current Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles, which includes vehicles that vary by payload and mission requirements. The vehicles were heavily used during the recent hurricanes that struck Texas and Florida, due to their ability to transverse flood zones.
