Oshkosh Defense Receives $46m Orders For M-ATV Rear-View Cameras
Oshkosh Defense, a division of Oshkosh Corp, has received three orders valued at over $46m to deliver more than 3,100 rear-view camera systems for the MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV).
Under the contract, Oshkosh will supply 2,800 camera systems to the military for field installation and add more than 300 systems into current M-ATV production lines. Production installation will take place from August to September 2010, with a small number of camera systems being shipped to testing sites. Oshkosh has now received awards to supply more than 7,500 rear-view camera systems for the M-ATV.
The company said that camera systems integrate with existing vehicle video displays and provide rearward visibility under all operating conditions, including dust, obscurants and increment weather in both day and night operations. The systems use an infrared camera core in an LED-equipped tailgate assembly.
The M-ATV delivers MRAP-equivalent survivability and off-road mobility for operations in places like Afghanistan. The vehicle is produced with a factory-installed armor package, and can accept additional add-on armor and protection kits.
The M-ATV uses the Oshkosh TAK-4 independent suspension system to achieve a 70% off-road profile capability in harsh mountainous terrain and unimproved road networks. To date, Oshkosh has received awards valued at more than $5bn for 8,079 M-ATVs, upgrade kits, spare-parts kits and sustainment support.
