The US Army Contracting Command has awarded Oshkosh Defense a US$99M order to upgrade an additional STRYKER Brigade Combat Team (SBCT) with the 30 mm 30 mm Medium Caliber Weapon System (MCWS).

In June 2021, the US Army selected Oshkosh Defense and partners Pratt Miller Defense and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems to integrate the 30 mm MCWS with the STRYKER Double V Hull Infantry Carrier Vehicle (ICVVA1). The six-year requirements contract is for the production and fielding of the Oshkosh Defense MCWS for up to six STRYKER brigades. The first delivery order covered 91 vehicles valued at US$130M and this latest award calls for an additional 83 vehicles.
