The Defense Department said Tuesday the modification covers Abrams IDATSÂ production year one units as well as subcontract line items, low-rate initial production units and first article testing report.
DoD added work will occur in McKinney, Texas and subcontract line item 0002AA will be completed within 330 days after option exercise while SLIN 0002AB will be concluded within 30 days after the government accepts the final FAT report.
