Undeterred By Possible Delays, BAE Continues Ground Combat Vehicle Development $800M + Development Program that may never go to production. STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. — Despite statements from top Army officials alluding to possible delays to the ground combat vehicle program, BAE Systems is chugging along to meet technology development requirements. Critics of the program see the GCV as too expensive and risky for the Army to build during a fiscal downturn. The Congressional Budget Office in April released a report weighing the pros and cons of four other options to the ground combat vehicle, including maintaining the current Bradley fleet, buying new, upgraded Bradleys, or purchasing either Israel’s Namer Armored Personnel Carrier or Germany’s Puma Infantry Fighting Vehicle. nationaldefensemagazine.org/blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=1245
