“Our JLTV and M-ATV platforms are engineered with industry
leading suspension and protection systems, as well as the ability
to support a spectrum of C4ISR suites, mission kits and weapon
systems required for the modern battlefield,” said John Bryant,
senior vice president of Oshkosh Corporation and president of
Oshkosh Defense. “These vehicles represent a technological leap
forward in off-road mobility, protection, lethality and
communications, which is opening the door for such vehicles to play
more significant role in a variety of ground operations.”
The JLTV Family of Vehicles was designed from the ground up to
provide new levels of protected mobility in the light vehicle
class, while supporting advanced networking, C4ISR suites and
increased fire power. The JLTV General Purpose variant on display
is equipped with an EOS R-400S-MK2 remote weapon system integrated
with Orbital ATK’s M230 LF 30 mm lightweight automatic chain gun to
demonstrate the vehicle’s ability to support increased lethality
including a medium caliber weapon system. The JLTV is available in
2-door and 4-door models in the following configurations:
- JLTV Utility
- JLTV General Purpose
- JLTV Close Combat Weapons Carrier
- JLTV Heavy Guns Carrier
The battle-proven M-ATV Family of Vehicles offers the best
combination of protection and off-road mobility in the MRAP class
of vehicles. The M-ATV Assault variant on display is outfitted with
a Moog Reconfigurable Integrated-weapons Platform (RIwP) to
demonstrate expanded overmatch and lethality for all battlefield
conditions. The RIwP contains a Javelin missile, a M249 machine
gun, an Orbital ATK M230 LF 30 mm lightweight automatic chain gun,
and a DRS Long Range AIM target acquisition sensor suite.
M-ATVs are offered in standard and extended wheel base models
with five variants to meet mission requirements for Armed Forces
around the world. The M-ATV variants include:
- M-ATV Special Forces
- M-ATV Assault
- M-ATV Engineer
- M-ATV Command
- M-ATV Utility
“Looking ahead, future battlefields will generate an
unpredictable combination of terrain, tactics and threats,” said
Bryant. “Our JLTV and M-ATV platforms can be configured with the
protection and mission equipment to support both defensive and
offensive operations outside-the-wire.”
Oshkosh Defense leadership will be available to discuss the
Oshkosh JLTV and M-ATV Family of Vehicles, and the Company’s full
portfolio of vehicles, technologies, integration capabilities and
aftermarket solutions at the AUSA Conference 2016 in booth
#1409.
