Meggitt awarded multi-million dollar Advanced Cooling System contract by General Dynamics Land Systems
Meggitt PLC, a leading international company specialising in high performance components and sub-systems for the aerospace, defence and energy markets, has been awarded a fixed price contract by General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) to develop an Advanced Cooling System for the next generation ground combat platforms.
