General Dynamics Land Systems is bringing new work and jobs to Force Protection’s Ladson facility, the company announced Tuesday.

Force Protection will install communications and protective equipment on General Dynamics’ Double-V Hull Strykers, which will be deployed to Afghanistan.

The work, which is expected to last from March through February 2013, will create about 45 jobs.

General Dynamics acquired Force Protection in December for about $360 million, and the Ladson-based mine-resistant, ambush-protected vehicle maker became part of General Dynamics Land Systems, headquartered in Sterling Heights, Mich.

Representatives from General Dynamics and Force Protection were not available for comment.
