Oshkosh Defense has released the details of a new order placed by the U.S. Army.
The company has been constructing mine-resistant and bulletproof vehicles for the military since 1939, and the latest $31 million order continues that tradition.
The Army placed an order for Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) A2 Low-Velocity Airdrop (LVAD) M1081 4×4 and 6×6 Cargo vehicles, which are designed to support airborne and rapidly deployable units.
Jeff Heggemeier, the Vice President and General Manager at Oshkosh Defense, explained, “The FMTV A2’s flexibility allows it to be adapted to various mission sets, and Oshkosh Defense remains committed to delivering adaptable, reliable vehicles that meet the pace of operational requirements.”
This latest batch of vehicles follows more than $75 million in orders received by Oshkosh Defense this year.
