DRS Technologies has received an order valued over $100 million to manufacture 270 M1000 Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) trailers for the US Army.
The M1000 HET trailer is designed and manufactured by the company’s DRS Sustainment Systems division, and the work for this contract would be performed at its heavy manufacturing facility in West Plains, Missouri.
Trailer deliveries would take place later this year. At the completion of this order, DRS Technologies would have manufactured more than 2,600 HET trailers for the US Army, said the company.
DRS said that the M1000 HET is engineered to transport the M1 Abrams Main Battle Tanks over primary and secondary roads, or cross-country over rough terrain.
Headquartered in Parsippany, NJ, DRS Technologies is a supplier of integrated products, services and support to military forces, intelligence agencies and prime contractors worldwide.
