“The JLTV will replace a large portion of the aging uparmored
High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWV) fleet to fill a
capability gap in light vehicle fleets,” said Bill Mooney, regional
vice president of Middle East and North Africa for Oshkosh Defense.
“Our vehicle will give soldiers the next-generation light tactical
vehicle with greater protection, transportability, and off-road
mobility.”
Weighing less than 6,350 kg at curb weight, the JLTV maintains
MRAP levels of protection. The JLTV uses the TAK-4i™ intelligent
independent suspension system, the next-generation of Oshkosh’s
advanced TAK-4® independent suspension system, to deliver 25
percent improved wheel travel while providing improved ride quality
for soldiers.
Additionally, the TAK-4i can be raised and lowered using
interior operator controls to meet sea, air, and land
transportability requirements. The JLTV can be air transported
internally by a C-130, C-5 and C-17, or externally by CH-47 and
CH-53.
Based on the Oshkosh Light Combat Tactical All-Terrain Vehicle
(L-ATV) platform, the Oshkosh JLTV is the U.S. Department of
Defense’s choice to replace the U.S. fleet of uparmored HMMWV for
the Army and Marine Corps. The Oshkosh JLTV has the latest in
automotive technologies, as well as the Oshkosh Core1080™ crew
protection system, which is an occupant-centric, comprehensive
systems engineering approach that considers every inch of the
vehicle with respect to crew protection in the event of blast
events.
For nearly 100 years, Oshkosh has been a pioneer in designing,
integrating, manufacturing and sustaining military vehicles
including a full portfolio of heavy, medium, MRAP, aircraft rescue
and fire fighting (ARFF), and light vehicles. Oshkosh serves armed

Oshkosh Defense leadership will be available to discuss the

technologies, and integration capabilities at SOFEX booth
#B630.
