OSHKOSH – Oshkosh Defense, LLC, recently announced the U.S. Army Contracting Command-Detroit Arsenal placed an order for Oshkosh Defense Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTV), trailers (JLTV-T) and associated packaged and installed kits.
The order is valued at $208 million and includes JLTVs for the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Air Force.
The JLTV is designed to provide better protection, mobility and a greater payload capacity.
The Oshkosh Defense JLTV filled that capability with a purpose-built modular design that is easily configured to meet mission needs, including weapon systems, protection kits, communications and other critical equipment.
It can accommodate more than 100 different mission package configurations without sacrificing mobility, protection or transportability.
Since winning the initial JLTV contract in 2015, George Mansfield, vice president and general manager of defense programs at Oshkosh Defense, said Oshkosh Defense has received orders for more than 23,000 JLTVs for the U.S. Armed Forces and NATO, Allied and Coalition partners.
“We spent the last decade committed to learning, improving processes, establishing a robust supply chain, as well as a world-class team of experts to design and produce the most reliable light tactical vehicle in the industry,” Mansfield said.
