Oshkosh displays its JLTV solution for the US

As the US Army advances the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) program to fill a critical capabilities gap for ground operations, Oshkosh Defense has presented a JLTV solution with unprecedented protected mobility.

The Oshkosh JLTV solution, the Light Combat Tactical All-Terrain Vehicle (L-ATV), leverages unmatched depth of experience designing, integrating and sustaining vehicles for missions outside the wire.

Oshkosh is displaying its JLTV solution this week at the Association of the US Army (AUSA) 2013 Annual Meeting and Exposition in Washington, D.C.

“The Oshkosh L-ATV redefines the future of light tactical vehicles – merging key design aspects of highly survivable combat vehicles and off-road tactical vehicles to operate in a wide range of threat levels and terrains,” John Bryant, senior vice president of Defense Programs for Oshkosh Defense said.

“In fact, independent testing proves that the Oshkosh L-ATV provides the same ride quality at speeds 70 per cent faster than today’s industry gold standard for off-road mobility, the Oshkosh MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV).”

Oshkosh delivered 22 JLTV prototypes to the US government in August for the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase.

The Oshkosh JLTV prototypes are undergoing 14 months of robust military testing, and Oshkosh will provide vehicle training and support throughout the testing.
