Oshkosh Defense showcased its Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) at the DVD2016 event on 7-8 September at Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedfordshire.
The US JLTV production contract calls for Oshkosh to deliver a total of approximately 17,000 fully integrated vehicles, as well as kits and services over an eight-year period, with the first vehicle delivery in October 2016.
John Bryant, Oshkosh Corporation Senior Vice President and President of Oshkosh Defense, said: “The JLTV programme presents an opportunity for US allies to provide their troops with the world’s most capable light tactical vehicle at an affordable cost. During the US JLTV competition, Oshkosh presented a solution for vehicles, C4ISR integration, kits and trailers that achieved the highest ratings for performance and value throughout an exhaustive, multi-year testing and evaluation effort.
“From a technical performance, cost and operational capability standpoint, JLTV is the overall best value on the market for light tactical vehicles.”
