Oshkosh to Continue Modernising U.S. Army’s FHTV Fleet
Oshkosh Defense, a subsidiary of Oshkosh Corporation, won a three-year extension to the FHTV IV contract and was awarded initial delivery orders valued at US$146.8 million, from the U.S. Army Contracting Command.
Under the extension, Oshkosh will provide new and recapitalised Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Trucks (HEMTT), Palletized Load System (PLS) trucks and trailers, and Heavy Equipment Transporters (HET). The HEMTT and PLS have been in the Army’s fleet since 1981 and 1990 respectively, and Oshkosh has been performing recapitalisation services on these vehicles since 1995. The initial delivery orders call for a total of 353 new and recapitalised vehicles.
Pat Williams, Vice President and General Manager of U.S. Army and Marine Corps Programmes for Oshkosh Defense, said: “We look forward to working with the U.S. Army to further modernise the FHTV fleet in support of current and future missions.”
A key aspect of the FHTV’s design is its capacity to support a multitude of roles. Its flexible architecture accommodates additional capabilities such as Condition Based Maintenance (CBM), Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), autonomy, on-board power, and other proven technologies.
Oshkosh was initially awarded the FHTV IV contract in 2015. Since the start of FHTV production, the company has produced over 35,800 HEMTTs, 8,500 PLS vehicles, and 4,600 HETs while also recapitalising over 14,000 HEMTTs, 3,500 PLS vehicles, and 1,000 HETs.
HEMTT A4 – Ensuring Mission Success
Built to stand up to the evolving challenges in the operational environment, Oshkosh’s HEMTT A4 brings improvements in power, maintenance and safety to the battlefield. Its 500 horsepower Caterpillar C15 engine offers greater horsepower than its predecessor, so it can traverse challenging environments easily and efficiently.
The HEMTT A4 performs while it protects with integrated under cab protection and Long-Term Armor Strategy (LTAS) B-kit attachments. Each variant – cargo, refueler, load handling system, recovery, light equipment transporter, guided missile transporter and MLRS resupply – offers the power, versatility and safety needed for mission success.
