M-ATV Best Suited to Address Complex Defense Postures

Regional militaries have long sustained a defense posture, doctrine, and strategy that focus on protecting borders, successful counter terrorism efforts, and regional expeditionary missions.  A multitude of missions and roles are required of Armed Forces, including rapid reaction to conventional and asymmetric threats, and the ability to respond to regional crises. Forces also must be able to contain unrest, deter and defeat traditional and irregular threat forces, and project broad regional influence.
 
The sheer size of the areas requiring defense and security put militaries in a position where interoperability is critical to achieving battlefield dominance.  Joint exercises, air-land training, improvements in “net ready” and interoperable communications systems between branches, and intelligence sharing are just some of the most prominent examples of doctrine enabling effective theater operations.
 
Throughout the region, forces are forward-deploying near threatened borders, which provide ground forces a tactical advantage in terms of reconnaissance, intelligence gathering, and speed of response.  
 
While no single platform can address in entirety the needs for network capability, joint agency interoperability, and responsiveness, the Oshkosh Defense MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) Family of Vehicles offers design flexibility to meet a full range of mission requirements, protection levels, and capabilities for integrating a wide variety of weapon systems. The M-ATV is capable of performing the most challenging operations with its exceptional speed, mobility, and integrated protection. Every variant in the Oshkosh M-ATV family of vehicles has been designed, built and proven to support troops anywhere the mission requires.

Variants include:
M-ATV Standard Wheel Base
• Upgrade (SXU)
• Special Forces (SXF)
M-ATV Extended Wheel Base
• Intervention (EXI)
• Engineer (EXE)
• Command (EXC)
• M-ATV Medical (EXM)
 
The Oshkosh M-ATV is the tactical vehicle that delivers unprecedented levels of protection without compromising performance or off-road mobility. This is where the innovative Oshkosh TAK-4® independent suspension system shines. It redefines mobility as well as exceptional ride quality and maneuverability.
 
With TAK-4®, vehicles can travel at high speeds off-road while maintaining industry-leading ride quality. Specifically, this suspension system delivers 16 inches (41 cm) of independent wheel travel. This delivers exceptional mobility in places where off-road terrain and unpaved roads dominate the landscape. The TAK-4® system has been used on more than 20,000 military-class vehicles. On the M-ATV, its performance has proven it can handle even the most challenging terrain while reducing operator and crew member fatigue.
 
Oshkosh is a global leader in designing tactical wheeled vehicles that are bringing the network to the mission.  This includes C4ISR integration, weapons systems, IED defeat, navigation, situational awareness, and exportable power.  

More than just a series of components and sub-systems, Oshkosh works with customers individually to match their precise requirements to optimize the space claims, power needs, and operator demands.  When matching these high levels of system performance with the broad mission requirements, it only makes sense to rely on Oshkosh Defense to ensure optimal levels of efficiency and capabilities. The Oshkosh M-ATV has the reliability, responsiveness, and protection that the Armed Forces need to complete their missions.
