Oshkosh To Supply M-ATV Kits For TACOM LCMC
Oshkosh, a manufacturer of specialty vehicles and vehicle bodies, said that its Defense division has received four delivery orders valued at around $234.8m from the TACOM Life Cycle Management Command (LCMC) to supply around 4,300 MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) protection kits.
According to Oshkosh, it will deliver around 3,800 rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) protection kits, and also around 500 explosively formed penetrator (EFP) add-on armor kits and in-field service and parts. The work under new orders is expected to be completed in April 2011.
The company said that the kits provide enhanced protection capabilities for the M-ATV, which is produced with a factory-installed armor package and can accept additional bolt-on armor in the field. Using its TAK-4 independent suspension system, the vehicle can incorporate add-on protection kits while maintaining its full payload capacity of 4,000 pounds.
Andy Hove, executive vice president and president of Oshkosh Defense, said: The M-ATV gives Warfighters MRAP-level survivability, and these kits will provide further protection from threats on the battlefield. We continue to support the US Armed Forces with the complete spectrum of sustainment services for the M-ATV, including the more than 2,000 in theater.
