DCS Corporation is excited to announce that it has been awarded the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC) Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC) Technical and Engineering Services (TES) contract, valued at an impressive $2.09 billion.

This substantial 5-year contract, which includes two optional one-year ordering periods, will see DCS continuing to provide invaluable technical and engineering support to GVSC's In-Service Engineering and Science and Technology missions. The scope encompasses delivering technical and engineering services to Program and Project Managers (PMs) within Program Executive Office (PEO) Ground Combat Systems and PEO Combat Support & Combat Service Support. Additionally, it extends to collaborating with various Department of Defense PM programs, including PM-Transportation Systems, PD-Army Watercraft Systems, PM-Maneuver, Combat Systems, PM-Mounted Armored Vehicles, PM-Vehicle Protection Systems, Joint Light Tactical Vehicle, PM-Light Armor Vehicles, PM-MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle, PM-Self Propelled Howitzer System, PM-Soldier Weapons, PM-Unmanned Ground Vehicles, PM-Mobile Protected Firepower, and PM-Multi-mission Protected Vehicle System.

Within GVSC, DCS will provide a wide array of engineering services that support the acquisition and development of both manned and unmanned military ground vehicle programs. These services encompass survivability systems, ground vehicle robotics, software development, post-production software support, electrical and electronics architectures, high-voltage power electronics, information systems security, mechanical engineering, science and technology, research and development, security engineering, and systems engineering.

Jim Benbow, CEO of DCS, expressed the company's pride in this achievement, saying, "At DCS, we are beyond proud to work every day alongside talented GVSC personnel in developing, testing, and fielding ground vehicle technology evolutions. With this new award, we look forward to building on past accomplishments as we support GVSC and the Army in continuing to advance Warfighter capability on the battlefield well into the future."

This significant award solidifies DCS's 35-year history of support for the U.S. Army CCDC GVSC. In 2021, DCS successfully completed the construction of a purpose-built facility in Sterling Heights, Michigan, strategically positioned to provide support to the U.S. Army Tank-Automotive & Armaments Command (TACOM) and CCDC GVSC at the Detroit Arsenal. The facility boasts a comprehensive array of features, including office space, conference facilities, engineering laboratories, and vehicle high bay integration space, all contributing to enhanced support for engineering, fabrication, rapid prototyping, and combat vehicle integration.
