Edit Request
[edit]![]() | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. The reviewer would like to request the editor with a COI attempt to discuss with editors engaged in the subject-area first. |
NOTE: I am proposing this edit for FleishmanHillard on behalf of GM Defense LLC. I am a paid editor and aware of the COI guidelines.
I am submitting this edit request to propose changes to the page to reflect accurate information regarding the current incarnation of the company (now named GM Defense LLC) which was reformed in 2017 and also help address the flags on the page regarding verification and notability. Thanks for your consideration. Jon Gray (talk) 23:44, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

Company Name
GM Defense is a division of General Motors providing military products. GM Defense is the military product division of General Motors focusing on the defense industry needs with hydrogen fuel cell and other advanced mobility technologies. GM Defense projects include SURUS (Silent Utility Rover Universal Superstructure) an autonomous modular platform joint project with the United States Army. ZH2 are modified Chevrolet medium and full size pickups modified for military needs. The ZH2, fitted with a hydrogen fuel cell and electric drive, has a stealthy drive system which produces a very low smoke, noise, odor and thermal signature. This allows soldiers to conduct silent watch and silent mobility missions on the battlefield. General Motors, the Office of Naval Research and the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory are cooperating to incorporate automotive hydrogen fuel cell systems into the next generation of Navy unmanned undersea vehicles, or UUVs. Hydrogen fuel cell technology could augment ships and subs on patrol.
GM Defense LLC develops solutions leveraging emerging technologies such as lithium-ion batteries and hydrogen fuel cell systems for land and underwater vehicles [4] and both stationary [5]and mobile power generation.[6] The company also develops telematics[7] and cybersecurity systems,[8] as well as vehicle platforms and propulsion systems based on diesel [9] and gasoline-powered engines[10] and hybrid powertrains.[11] GM Defense LLC vehicle projects include the Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV), the Chevrolet ZH2 hydrogen fuel cell vehicle developed and tested with the US Army, [12] and SURUS (Silent Utility Rover Universal Superstructure), an autonomous modular platform concept.[13] The company named David Albritton, a Navy veteran and the company’s former executive director of product development and international communications, president of the company in December 2018. [14] In August 2019, GM Defense LLC received a $1 million-dollar contract from the United States Army to develop two Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV) prototypes.[15][16] GM Defense’s ISV is based on the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 architecture, which leverages 70 percent commercial off-the-shelf components. [17] Like the ISV, the ZH2 was also based on the mid-size Chevrolet Colorado ZR2.[18] The ZH2, fitted with a hydrogen fuel cell and electric drive, produces no toxic emissions and has a minimal noise or thermal signature, enabling nearly silent watch and silent mobility missions on the battlefield. [19] The company is also working with the Office of Naval Research and the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory to incorporate automotive hydrogen fuel cell systems into the next generation of Navy unmanned undersea vehicles, or UUVs. Hydrogen fuel cell technology could augment ships and subs on patrol. [20] [21]
The original GM Defense (founded in 1950) organization and acquired by General Dynamics in 2003 and became part of the General Dynamics Land Systems division. And replacing with this updated information:
Previous Products
With the sale to General Dynamics, only GM Defense’s Stryker product lines are still in production.[30]

[edit]- It's not Wikipedia's practice to place references in the lead section without consensus, per MOS:CITELEAD. Please establish a consensus for this change before requesting it to be added to the article.[1]

Instructions for Reviewers: Do not insert major re-writes or controversial requests without clear consensus. When these are requested, ask the submitter to discuss the edits instead with regular contributors on the article's talk page. You can use {{edit COI|D|D}}.
RfC about inclusion of a citation in lead of edit request and other GM Defense re-writes
[edit]Should the revised lead in an edit request be allowed to include a citation? We are seeking consensus on proposed re-writes as well. Jon Gray (talk) 18:27, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
NOTE: I am submitting this Request for Comment for FleishmanHillard on behalf of GM Defense LLC. I am a paid editor and aware of the COI guidelines.
I am opening this RfC in response to COI editor Spintendo’s initial feedback to our edit request on the GM Defense page (submitted on Feb. 14, 2020). Our goal with this edit request is to update the page with accurate information regarding the current incarnation of the company (now named GM Defense LLC) and also help address the flags on the page regarding verification, etc.
Because our revised copy incorporated a citation in the lead to verify the claim – which as Spintendo pointed out, does not follow MOS:CITELEAD – we were asked to gain consensus on that suggested change first before proceeding with a specific edit request. Furthermore, with significant re-writes requested for the page, the reference box above that he cited also suggests that these should be reviwed by regular contributors for consensus as well.
For reference, below is the proposed lead that would replace the existing lead on the page:
GM Defense LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of General Motors established in October 2017 focused on reimagining advanced automotive technologies for the defense, aerospace and security markets.[1]
The full text of our edit request is below as well. We look forward to the community’s thoughts and are hopeful to gain consensus on how to proceed with the lead and proposed re-writes. Thank you for your time and consideration! Jon Gray (talk) 18:27, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

Photo Change Request
[edit]![]() | An impartial editor has reviewed the proposed edit(s) and asked the editor with a conflict of interest to go ahead and make the suggested changes. |
NOTE: I’m proposing the following photo change request for FleishmanHillard on behalf of GM Defense. I am a paid editor and aware of the COI guidelines.
Photo Change Request - Infobox
- The company logo currently used in the article’s infobox has since been replaced by a new version. I recently submitted the new logo to Wikimedia Commons on GM Defense’s behalf. We are hoping to have the logo that’s currently used in this article’s infobox exchanged for the correct version:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GM_Defense_Updated_Wordmark_Blue_Horizontal_RGB.png
Per the guidelines, I know editors with a COI may add/update article photos, which I’m happy to do, but first wanted to confirm I am clear to do so, or turn this over to another editor to handle. Please let me know how I should proceed. Thanks for your time and consideration. Jon Gray (talk) 18:41, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
Go ahead: I have reviewed these proposed changes and suggest that you go ahead and make the proposed changes to the page. Happy Editing--IAmChaos 06:32, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
