 BAE Systems was recognized for its contributions to the Objective Gunner Protection Kit (O-GPK) and its role on the Raytheon / BAE Systems Excalibur team at the 6th Annual U.S. Army Top Ten Greatest Inventions Awards.

The winners are selected by soldiers from active U.S. Army divisions and the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command.

"This recognition shows our strong relationship with the U.S. Army and BAE Systems' ongoing commitment to innovation", said Scott Leitch, vice president for U.S. business development for BAE Systems Land and Armaments.

"We will continue to offer new products to our Soldiers and Marines, ensuring that those who protect us are protected with the newest and latest technologies."

The O-GPK provides a common force protection system, designed to integrate with the M1114 turret, mounted onto multiple tactical and armored vehicle platforms for increased protection from explosive device fragmentation and enemy small arms fire.

The 360 degree ballistic protection allows visibility for situational awareness without compromising system effectiveness, reliability, and lethality. The unique asymmetric geometry enables proper engagement of the primary weapon.
