Oshkosh to deliver more JLTVs
Oshkosh Defense was awarded a contract modification worth $407.3 million to provide 1,240 Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTVs), predominantly to the US Army and the US Marine Corps.
The contract was agreed by the US Army Contracting Command at Detroit Arsenal. Completion is scheduled for 31 January 2022.
The order also includes JLTVs for Slovenia and Lithuania, to be procured through the US FMS process.
George Mansfield, VP and General Manager of Joint Programs at Oshkosh Defense said: ‘Without sacrificing mobility or transportability, the JLTV can accommodate over 100 mission package configurations.’
The US Army requested $894.4 million in its FY2021 budget proposal, to purchase 1,920 JLTVs in different configurations.
