Navistar Defense, LLC has announced that it has made a new foreign military sale to the Israel Ministry of Defense.

Under the $US12 million contract, Navistar will deliver 114 medium tactical vehicles by June 2010.

In addition to the Israel contract, the company also received a second four-year System Technical Support (STS) contract for up to $US78 million to support its International MaxxPro Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles.

Based on Navistar's commercial International WorkStar, or 7000 Series platform, vehicle variants for Israel will include cargo, recovery and tow trucks.

Parts and service are not included in the contract.

Under Navistar's four-year STS contract, the company will provide hardware to accompany work conducted under the previous MRAP STS engineering award announced November 9, which is also a four-year contract for up to $US78 million.

Navistar's STS awards allow the company to improve MaxxPro MRAP vehicle reliability, support combat issues encountered in theatre, as well as provide new vehicle enhancements.

The company currently supports several vehicle fleets for the US armed forces, including more than 6,400 MaxxPro MRAP vehicles.
