Oshkosh Defense has delivered its first Joint Light Tactical
Vehicle (JLTV) prototype for government testing following a successful vehicle
inspection by the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA).
The Oshkosh JLTV solution was developed to deliver unprecedented levels of
mobility, survivability, transportability and life-cycle value for the JLTV
program, which will replace a portion of the US military’s aged High-Mobility
Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) fleet.
Oshkosh Defense is delivering a
total of 22 JLTV prototypes this month for the government-testing portion of
the EMD phase.
Oshkosh Defense produced its JLTV prototypes on an active
manufacturing line, alongside its current-production tactical wheeled vehicles
(TWV).
Prototypes being delivered include a four-door multi-purpose variant and two-door utility variant.
Oshkosh Defense will provide training and support for the vehicles as they are accepted and evaluated by the US Government.
