“M1A2 Abrams MBT & the Stryker Programs to be the Key, Long-Term Growth Pivots for GDLS Following Receipt of New Orders & Upgrade Contracts with a Potential Win in the Upcoming OMFV Program would be a Massive Boost for GDLS”
The 2023 edition of this Annual Strategy Dossier analyses the overall Strategy Focus and provides insights into the overall Strategy Focus and decrypts the key Strategies & Plans being pursued by General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) for the near to medium term horizon amid a complex, difficult & challenging global macroeconomic environment with global defense spending reaching a historic high led by the whittling down of traditional, rule-based world order and the return of great power competition among leading geopolitical powers marked by sustained geopolitical instability with the Russia-Ukraine war showing no signs of abating and the U.S.-China faceoff further escalating.
The ongoing U.S. military assistance to Ukraine and the focus of U.S. defense spending towards competing with near-peer adversaries and maintaining traditional overmatch over adversaries have accelerated the pace of replacement of ageing defense equipment with next generation systems & technologies through the initiation & award of new large scale defense contracts of strategic nature, scale, scope & long term horizon. The global defense spending, thus, is projected to reach the record $2.5 trillion level by 2027 as the industry prepares to ramp up production rates to unprecedented rates & level over near to medium term to meet huge global demand, replenish depleted inventory levels and develop next generation capabilities.
For GDLS, the M1A2 Abrams MBT & Stryker programs remains the key, long-term growth pivot with the company continuing to receive new orders and upgrade contracts for the venerable programs while GDLS continues to chart out the upgrade horizon & vision for the next-generation Abrams incorporating additional weapons, sensors & capabilities, including, a hybrid-electric powertrain. GDLS has also outlined a new base configuration of its Stryker 8X8 wheled armored vehicle along with a new variant featuring Directed Energy Weapon. A recent win on the U.S. Army's MPF program along with a foray into the Squad Multipurpose Equipment Transport (SMET) program have come as a shot in the arm for GDLS and the upcoming OMFV could be the key, medium term growth avenue for GDLS.
