Based on the Oshkosh Light Combat Tactical All-Terrain Vehicle
(L-ATV) platform, the Oshkosh JLTV is the U.S. Department of
Defense’s choice to replace the U.S. fleet of uparmored HMMWVs for
the Army and Marine Corps.
“There is simply no comparison between the HMMWV and JLTV—our
JLTV sets a new standard for light vehicle protection and off-road
mobility,” said John Bryant, Oshkosh Corporation senior vice
president and president of Oshkosh Defense. “The JLTVs that we are
building today are the result of years of development and rigorous
U.S. Government testing, which has resulted in the highest
performance ever achieved in a light tactical wheeled vehicle.”
The combination of the JLTV’s powerful drive train and TAK-4i™
suspension enables soldiers to travel off-road at speeds that are
70% faster than today’s gold standard. Additionally, the TAK-4i can
be raised and lowered using interior operator controls to maximize
sea, air and land transportability. The JLTV can be air transported
internally by a C-130, C-5, C-17 or externally by CH-47 and CH-53,
and other aircraft with similar characteristics used by
international militaries.
The Oshkosh JLTV has the latest technologies, as well as
unprecedented protection. With the Oshkosh Core1080™ crew
protection system, every inch of the vehicle is designed to save
lives during blasts, IED events, and other threatening situations.
Core1080 is an occupant-centric, comprehensive systems engineering
approach that considers every component and technology to protect
the crew, optimize readiness and effectively complete every
mission.
For nearly 100 years, Oshkosh has been a pioneer in designing,
integrating, manufacturing and sustaining military vehicles
including a full portfolio of heavy, medium, MRAP, aircraft rescue
and fire fighting (ARFF), and light vehicles. Oshkosh serves armed
forces around the globe and has produced and sustained more than

Oshkosh Defense leadership will be available to discuss the
Oshkosh JLTV, and the company’s portfolio of vehicles, technologies
and integration capabilities at Eurosatory booth #D608.
