Oshkosh Defense Secures $152M Contract for Advanced A2 Medium Tactical Vehicles for the Army
Oshkosh’s defense division has obtained a $152 million delivery request from the U.S. Army Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command for the A2 variant of its Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles.
The TACOM Life Cycle Management Command grant continues FMTV A2 manufacturing requests and builds upon the successful completion of performance testing, Oshkosh Defense announced on Wednesday.
A2, an enhanced model of the FMTV A1P2, facilitates the Army’s combat operations, logistics, and supply missions, offering a maximum payload capacity of 10 tons. The fleet comprises 16 different models and corresponding trailers.
“For more than a decade, the Oshkosh FMTV A1P2 has served the U.S. Army with versatile transportation solutions in support of line and local haul missions, transporting Soldiers, cargo, and vital equipment,” stated Pat Williams, vice president and general manager of U.S. Army and Marine Corps initiatives for Oshkosh Defense.
The request was placed as the production phase of the FMTV A1P2, a medium tactical wheeled vehicle introduced in the late 1980s, began to decline. The anticipated conclusion of FMTV A1P2 production is September 2021.
