JWF Industries and Lockheed Martin spend four years of their own time and combined millions of dollars out of their own pocket to develop and test a new vehicle that will replace the Humvee.
Rep. John Murtha, a Democrat from the 12th District, "This was a worldwide competition. We're talking about 150,000 vehicles (and) probably an $80 billion contract in the end."
Bill Polacek of JWF Industries said, "After four years of fighting hard and coming up with multiple designs, (we) finally have a vehicle that's ahead of the competition."
The 10-year deal could create up to 1,000 new jobs. Over the next two years, JWF and Lockheed will continue to test and modify their new vehicle, which is low-weight and mobile for rough terrain and offers superior armor protection.
