Oshkosh Defense has received a contract from the US Army Contracting Command to deliver joint light tactical vehicles (JLTVs) for the four US Military branches.
The $803.9m contract includes the supply of 2,721 additional JLTVs for the US Army, US Air Force, US Navy and US Marine Corps.
Under the contract modification, Oshkosh will also provide 16,714 associated kits. The company expects to receive additional orders in the current fiscal year.
The delivery order also includes 30 vehicles for Montenegro. The US Government is selling the Oshkosh JLTVs to the Balkan country under a foreign military sale.
Oshkosh Defense joint programmes vice-president and general manager George Mansfield said: “As the threats on today’s modern battlefield continue to evolve, our warfighters need a highly capable light tactical vehicle that is uniquely suited for mission adaptability.
“The JLTV can accommodate over 100 different mission package configurations without sacrificing mobility or transportability.”
