US Army and US Marine Corps (USMC) programmes vice-president and general manager Pat Williams said: “Oshkosh Defense and ST Engineering bring together an abundance of defence industry and manufacturing expertise to address the US Army’s need for a proven vehicle that can easily manoeuvre in arctic environments.”

The Oshkosh CATV is derived from the Bronco 3, a member of the Bronco family of vehicles (FoV) by ST Engineering.

The Bronco FoV underwent over 1,860 miles of performance testing in ‘arctic conditions’ and more than 200,000 miles in a theatre of operations on harsh desert terrain.

ST Engineering Land Systems president/head Lee Shiang Long said: “The new vehicle design will be built with the combined expertise of Oshkosh Defense and draws on the rich heritage of the Bronco family of vehicles, a proven, robust and versatile articulated platform which has been in operation since 2001.”

The US Army has announced its intentions to issue a ‘follow-on production contract’ for nearly 200 CATVs in FY2022.
