OSHKOSH, Wis. -- Oshkosh Defense, a division of Oshkosh Corporation, announced today it has received an award valued at more than $10 million from the TACOM Life Cycle Management Command (LCMC) to supply more than 1,400 MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) kits to support remote weapon systems, which will be controlled from inside the vehicle’s crew capsule

The Oshkosh® M-ATV features exceptional survivability capabilities, as well as the off-road mobility, needed to operate on mountainous terrain and unimproved roads found in places like Afghanistan. To date, Oshkosh has received awards valued at more than $4.75 billion for 8,079 M-ATVs, as well as spare parts kits, upgrade kits and aftermarket support. The M-ATV also is available in utility and ambulance variants.

Using the Oshkosh patented TAK-4® independent suspension system, the M-ATV has a 70 percent off-road profile capability and 16 inches of independent wheel travel. The TAK-4 system is being retrofitted on more than 2,400 legacy MRAPs for improved mobility in Afghanistan. It is featured on more than 10,000 Oshkosh Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacements (MTVR), as well as the Marine Corps’ Logistics Vehicle System Replacement (LVSR) and the Army’s modernized Palletized Load System (PLS), which are also built by Oshkosh.
