Textron Systems, Wilmington, Mass., announced in late January that its Marine and Land Operations, based in New Orleans, was awarded a contract by the U.S. Army Tank-Automotive & Armaments Command (TACOM), to manufacture the Armored Security Vehicle (ASV) for the U.S. Army. The contract was valued at over $11.4 million and is for the production of 20 Armored Security Vehicles (ASV).

11.4/20 = $5,700,000 a piece
