The contract covers deliveries through 2029 for the German Army’s Boxer vehicles and through 2027 for the Hungarian MoD’s Lynx vehicles.

Lynn M. Bamford, CEO of Curtiss-Wright, expressed pride in the company’s selection by Rheinmetall, noting that the contracts reflect growing demand for the company’s turret drive technology, fueled by NATO spending increases and rising global defense threats.

“These contracts demonstrate the growing demand for our turret drive aiming and stabilization technology in support of vital European combat vehicles,” Bamford said.
