  • Mission readiness starts with the right capability. The Heavy Duty Tactical Truck helps move people, equipment and mission-critical payloads across demanding environments — while providing onboard power and silent operation to help teams stay mobile, connected and ready. Built on GM’s commercial-scale engineering and manufacturing expertise, it’s designed for the defense mission. #GMDefense #Defense #MilitaryMobility #TacticalVehicles #MissionReady

  • Mobility is mission capability. The GM Defense Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV) gives light infantry and special operations forces the speed, agility and flexibility to move nine Soldiers and their equipment across complex terrain. Built on the off-road Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 platform, the ISV features a GM Duramax 2.8L turbo-diesel engine, eight-speed transmission and four-wheel drive with electronic locking differentials—delivering responsive power, traction and robust off-road performance. With integrated rollover protection and proven safety features, the ISV is designed to help warfighters get to the mission—and back—faster. #GMDefense #ISV #MilitaryMobility #DefenseInnovation #OffRoadCapability

  • Everyone at GM Defense is deeply saddened by the devastating fire and explosion that occurred at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Wainwright in Alberta this past weekend. We extend our deepest condolences to the families, friends, and colleagues of the four brave Canadian Armed Forces | Forces armées canadiennes service members who tragically lost their lives, and we hold the 39 injured personnel in our thoughts for a swift and complete recovery. We are profoundly grateful to the military personnel, local first responders, and civilian emergency crews who fought under extreme conditions to contain the blaze and protect the surrounding community. CFB Wainwright is a vital training ground and a cornerstone of readiness. In this moment of grief, we stand in steadfast support of the Canadian Armed Forces | Forces armées canadiennes and the entire Wainwright community as they navigate this difficult peacetime tragedy.

  • Association of the United States Army - AUSA 2026 was a success—and that success was powered by the people behind the mission.

  • At AUSA 2026, GM Defense is showcasing EPIQ Hybrid — an early prototype exploring the next generation of expeditionary power. Designed around a single, deployable unit, EPIQ Hybrid combines a 30 kW tactical generator, a 50 kWh battery pack and 60 kW power conversion to provide reliable, low-signature power for demanding mission environments. The goal is simple: reduce logistics burden, improve generator efficiency, support silent-watch operations and simplify deployment. This is an early step, but an important one. By applying GM’s commercial battery technology and manufacturing expertise to defense needs, GM Defense is helping shape what comes next in expeditionary power. Stop by booth 8014 to learn more!

The UGV reflects GM Defense’s focus on solving real customer needs with a production-minded approach. The concept offers an exciting look at where mobility, power and autonomy can go next. #AUSA2026 #GMDefense #UGV #DefenseInnovation #Autonomy #MilitaryMobility

  • We’re accelerating mission-ready capability at GM Defense. At AUSA 2026, we are showcasing how GM’s engineering, supply chain and manufacturing scale are helping bring commercial innovation to the tactical edge—faster: - The Infantry Squad Vehicle requirement has grown from approximately 649 vehicles to nearly 12,000, with the ISV-U prototype designed in direct response to customer feedback. - We delivered our first PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement housing components to Lockheed Martin just 22 days after signing the contract. - We unveiled a new Unmanned Ground Vehicle concept and showcased the EPIQ Hybrid expeditionary energy storage system. - GM Defence UK is advancing allied solutions through Team LionStrike with NP Aerospace and BAE Systems. By transferring proven technology and commercial manufacturing discipline into defense, we’re helping deliver reliable capability at the speed and scale our customers and allies need.
