Marshall wins first contract with US Army

Marshall has won a contract to design and supply a rigid-walled expandable container enabling the US Army’s Combat Capabilities Development Command Chemical Biological Center (DEVCOM CBC) to provide forensics and environmental capabilities to allies and partners.

The 20 ft expandable container will be produced at Marshall’s Cambridge site in line with specifications defined by DEVCOM CBC. As part of the bespoke modifications to the container, Marshall will install a special ventilation system and a 'glovebox' area for safe passthrough of potentially hazardous materials.

Once production is complete, Marshall will also assist DEVCOM CBC with the integration of specialist customer equipment, as well as providing training, documentation and logistics packages covering spare parts.

George Lawson, DEVCOM CBC Program Manager said: “The DEVCOM Chemical Biological Center is pleased to be working with Marshall in support of global initiatives around countering weapons of mass destruction.

“We are proud of the advanced CB technical analysis capabilities we are developing and delivering for the Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s Cooperative Threat Reduction Program.”

Deployment of the container is planned for January 2025, with Marshall to offer in-service support for at least one year.

Andy Smith, Director - Vehicle & Mission Systems, Marshall, said: “We are proud to add the US Army to the growing list of customers we provide mission-critical support for.

“Winning this contract speaks to our ability to observe and adapt to the constant evolution of the battlespace, drawing on nearly eight decades of providing industry-leading expertise in deployable infrastructure, complex integrated systems and capability sustainment.”

Earlier this year, Marshall secured a contract to design, build and demonstrate a containerised system to simplify logistics and accelerate deployment of aircraft and personnel for the United States Air Force.

Additionally, Canada's Department of National Defence announced in May that it has formally awarded the Logistics Vehicle Modernisation contract to the Power Team - a consortium led by General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada (GDLS-Canada) and Marshall Canada.

Marshall has also recently received a contract valued at over £100 million to design and produce an extensive suite of command and control (C2) shelters, workspaces and equipment for the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration.
