Article Abstract:
The Crusader program faces an uncertain future during the FY 2002 budget deliberations as well as several ongoing defense reviews.

The Army has programmed $11.1 billion in its six-year, Future Years Defense Plan as a down payment toward a future force of 480 Crusader systems, comprising 480 howitzers and 480 re-supply vehicles.
