May 15, 2008 – Grand Rapids, MI – GE’s Aviation business received a contract from General Dynamics Land Systems valued at more than $20 million for M1A2 position navigation systems. The order supports the M1A2 Main Battle Tank upgrade program for the U.S. Army.

The systems are manufactured at the GE facility in Michigan with production deliveries currently taking place through 2013.

GE has been selected for more than 25 world-wide applications to date for heading/pointing and land navigation systems.
