The story

Cadillac Gage, located in Warren, Michigan manufactured many Vietnam War-era military vehicles and artillery pieces: Stoner 63 modular weapon system (1963-1971), Cadillac Gage V-100 Commando Armored Personnel Carrier, Cadillac Gage Ranger/Peacekeeper Armored Personnel Carrier, Stingray light tank, Stingray 2.

The 2003 invasion of Iraq gave a boost to Textron’s operations. From 2005 to 2010, the manpower of its manufacturing plant on Chef Menteur Highway in eastern New Orleans doubled, reaching 1,000 people.

In August 2005, the company's manufacturing units were severely damaged by Hurricane Katrina.

On March 31, 2015, Textron signed a contract with US Navy worth $84 million to build two new Landing Craft Air Cushion vehicles, LCACs 102 and 103. The craft are part of the Ship to Shore Connector (SSC) program, developed to replace the existing fleet of LCACs.

In 2020, the US Army awarded the company with the development of battlefield unmanned combat vehicles and additional high-speed ship-to-shore air-cushioned hovercraft.
