The U.S. Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA)
announced that it has selected Oshkosh Defense, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE: OSK), to participate in
the Concept Design Phase for the U.S. Army’s Optionally Manned
Fighting Vehicle (OMFV) program. The OMFV will replace the Bradley
Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV), which has been in service since
1981.
As part of the Concept Design Phase, Oshkosh Defense will
develop initial concepts supported by Modeling, Simulation, and
Analysis (MS&A), which will inform OMFV requirements up to a
System Functional Review (SFR).
The Oshkosh Defense consortium includes Pratt Miller Defense,
Hanwha Defense USA, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, QinetiQ Inc.,
and Plasan.
“As a leading innovator of defense technologies, Oshkosh Defense
is committed to providing the best possible solutions to the U.S.
Army for its evolving modernization priorities,” said Pat Williams,
Vice President and General Manager of U.S. Army and U.S. Marine
Corps Programs for Oshkosh Defense. “Each of our industry partners
will contribute their own best-in-class expertise in ground combat
vehicles, turrets, armor, and autonomy. Together, we will provide a
modular OMFV solution designed to defeat emerging threats with
flexibility and room for growth to accommodate evolving
requirements.”
Oshkosh’s OMFV concept leverages the proven capability of
Hanwha’s Redback chassis and Rafael’s SAMSON family of turrets. The
Redback is one of two contenders for Australia’s Land 400 Infantry
Fighting Vehicle (IFV), while the SAMSON family of turrets serves
as the foundation for Oshkosh’s recently awarded Medium Caliber
Weapon System (MCWS) contract with the U.S. Army.
