# GDLS Standardizes Army Vehicle Software

General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) and Parry Labs signed a five-year enterprise software licensing agreement to standardize GDLS combat vehicle programs supporting the U.S. Army on Parry Labs’ STRATIA and VIW platforms. The agreement also includes software configuration items, integration support, and engineering services; no contract value or solicitation number was disclosed. Although this is a company-to-company agreement rather than a disclosed government award, it signals a defined software platform and associated support requirements across Army ground-vehicle programs.

- The agreement creates potential demand for integration, configuration, and engineering work supporting GDLS combat vehicle programs, including opportunities for qualified subcontractors and suppliers.
- Defense contractors should assess how their offerings support interoperability, cybersecurity, and modular open-systems implementation in ground-vehicle modernization; the signal does not identify an open solicitation or procurement deadline.
- Parry Labs CEO Don Claussen said the software is designed to enable faster innovation, strengthen cyber resilience, and accelerate delivery of capabilities to the warfighter.
