Lockheed Martin today announced the loss of 158 jobs at its Ampthill armoured vehicles business following the UK Ministry of Defence’s (MOD) decision to terminate the Warrior Capability Sustainment Programme (CSP).
The termination of the programme was announced in the UK’s recently published Defence Command Paper, ending hopes for a production contract worth around £1bn that would have extended the in-service life of the UK’s Warrior infantry fighting vehicles (IFV) and seen them equipped with a new 40mm cannon.
