Oshkosh Debuts A2 Variant of Medium Tactical Vehicles at AUSA 2018

Oshkosh will debut A2 variant of its Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV), as well as showcase multiple Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTV) at the 2018 AUSA Conference from October 8 to 10.

The Oshkosh FMTV A2 will be on display for the first time at AUSA 2018.  Oshkosh was awarded the FMTV A2 contract in February 2018, following the Army’s competitive request for proposal (RFP) for an upgraded platform with improved payload, underbody protection, ride quality, mobility, engine power, electronics, diagnostics, and safety enhancements, the company said in a statement Monday.

The FMTV A2 fleet of vehicles will comprise of 16 models, allowing it to perform a wide range of duties from supporting combat missions, to relief efforts, to logistics and supply operations. 

In addition to the FMTV A2, three fully integrated JLTVs will also be found on the AUSA show floor. The JLTV on display will be outfitted with the Kongsberg Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station (CROWS) with the Javelin Integration Kit (JIK) and .50 Caliber Machine Gun.

A second JLTV will be integrated with the Kongsberg PROTECTOR II Remote Weapon System (RWS) with a XM914 Lightweight 30mm Cannon, the JIK, and a 7.62 coax machine gun and will also be on display. The third JLTV on display will be in the IMI Systems featuring the Iron Fist Active Protection System (APS). 

“We expect a Full Rate Production (FRP) decision on JLTV in early FY19. At that time, we will substantially ramp up our JLTV production. Following the FRP decision, the US Army and the US Marine Corps will begin fielding JLTVs. We look forward to getting these vehicles into the hands of our service members,” John Bryant, President of Oshkosh Defense and Executive Vice President of Oshkosh Corporation.
