On August 23, 2016, DRS Technologies, Inc., announced that the U.S. Army had awarded it an indefinite quantity contract worth up to $ 400 million to build the new JABS. The Army has placed an initial order for 168 vehicles and the Marines for 29. As of 2020, the status of the USMC's order was unclear as the service was divesting its AVLBs as part of

They were delivered to ANAD where they underwent testing and evaluation through 2016 with the Leonardo prototype being accepted as the M1074 in August. Leonardo DRS has a public-private partnership with ANAD in Alabama to manage the M1 chassis assembly and worked with

After the M1074 has deployed the bridge, assault force vehicles can cross over the bridge. The M1074 can cross over, pick up the bridge on the far bank and continue along in support of assault forces.

The JAB completed its low-rate production phase from 2016 to 2018 with a total of 51 vehicles. ANAD produced 10 in fiscal year 2016, 14 in 2017 and an additional 27 in 2018. These first JABSs underwent exploitation and fire survivability testing at the
Aberdeen Test Center. These tests finalized the
