Oshkosh Defense Joint Programs vice-president and general manager George Mansfield said: “We’ve spent over ten years developing our vehicle, followed by nearly six years of manufacturing the vehicle in both low rate and full-rate production.
“We’ve refined the manufacturing process, matured our robust supply chain, and fulfilled the light tactical vehicle capability gap in eight additional countries with our proven platform.
“No one else can say that and we have no plans to stop building the Oshkosh JLTV anytime soon.”
With a maximum speed limit of 70mph, the vehicle is integrated with anti-lock braking system (ABS) and has 60in fording capability.
The vehicle is compatible with legacy pintles on High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), Family of Medium Heavy Tactical Vehicle (FMTV), Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Trucks (HEMTT), Logistic Vehicle System Replacement (LVSR) and Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR).
Recently, the US Army increased Oshkosh’s option ceiling under the existing contract from 18,170 to 23,163 vehicles to support global complex missions.
Oshkosh Defense International Programs vice-president and general manager John Lazar said: “Oshkosh Defense is incredibly pleased with the reception the JLTV continues to receive around the world.
“The JLTV provides unprecedented levels of off-road mobility, survivability, and hosted firepower on a light tactical vehicle platform. We had a busy Spring and the momentum surrounding the platform continues to grow.”
