Oshkosh Defense introduced its new line of uncrewed ground vehicles (UGVs) at the AUSA exposition in Washington, DC. The Family of Multi-Mission Autonomous Vehicles (FMAV) includes three variants: Extreme Multi-Mission Autonomous Vehicle (X-MAV), Medium Multi-Mission Autonomous Vehicle (M-MAV) and Light Multi-Mission Autonomous Vehicle (L-MAV).
Aware of the US Army’s growing interest in uncrewed solutions, the new capabilities have been designed with a focus on the branch’s acquisition priorities to be deployed in contested environments and support long-range precision fires, resilient formations and crewed/uncrewed teaming (CUC-T).

Taurus operates alongside the Israel Defense Forces’ Orion system which supports mission management across tens of thousands of manoeuvring forces, from squad leaders to battalion commanders.
The plan for the new displays follows fresh investment in Kopin’s European facilities by Theon and an order for head-up displays in fielded aircraft, with funding from the US Department of Defense.
The aerospace company showed a model of its new mobile howitzer at AUSA in Washington, where a representative told Shephard more about its design.
The MV-75, previously V-280, was originally designed as an assault aircraft which would replace some of the Black Hawk helicopters and add speed as a tilt-rotor platform. It is now envisioned to add a greater multirole capability reminiscent of the Black Hawk fleet.
The US Army requires 2,907 Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicles to replace its M113 family, and there are multiple versions in production.
AM General presented its new Hawkeye at AUSA 2025 in Washington, with prototypes of the howitzer system having been trialled in Ukraine last year.
