This approach has historically been performed on all previous Abrams and Stryker combat vehicle programs with General Dynamics Land Systems selected as the defense contractor and system integrator. The IM‐SHORAD program will be undergo radar testing at designated test sites (RTC, WSMR, APG) beginning in September 2019 and the Army has also requested whether any radar testing can be performed at the General Dynamics Land Systems facility in Sterling Heights, MI.
