Oshkosh to Demonstrate Next-Gen Mobility and Operational Capability
Oshkosh Defense, LLC, an Oshkosh Corporation company, is showcasing its Special Purposes All-Terrain Vehicle (S-ATV) at the Special Operations Forces Exhibition & Conference (SOFEX), taking place between May 8 to 10, in Jordan.
The S-ATV is lightweight and agile, with a modular design to meet a diverse range of mission requirements for armed forces in the U.S., Middle East, and around the world.
“Building on the success of Oshkosh’s proven off-road military vehicles, the Oshkosh S-ATV is a military-grade platform that is rugged, versatile, and built for speed,” said Mike Ivy, Vice President and General Manager of International Programmes, Oshkosh Defense. “With its superior levels of off-road mobility and manoeuvrability, as well as its ability to disembark aircraft with primary weapons ready to fire in 60 seconds or less, the S-ATV enables Special Forces units to deploy quickly with stealth and agility in the most severe environments.”
The S-ATV comes equipped with the Oshkosh TAK-4i intelligent independent suspension system, providing soldiers with superior manoeuvrability and a smooth ride. It can operate in the harshest terrain with a 70 per cent off-road profile capability and cruising range of 800 km at 110 kilometres per hour, with a top speed of 145 kph.
The S-ATV is available in multiple configurations with varying protection levels, making the platform easily transportable via both fixed and rotary-wing platforms; it can be carried internally in a CH-47 or externally under either a CH-47 or CH-53.
The vehicle fulfils the greater demands of reconnaissance and unconventional missions. It was built to provide the advanced performance needed for special reconnaissance, counterinsurgency operations, long range surveillance, site seizure and direct combat. Its world-class suspension system has been proven to maximise mobility over the most rugged off-road terrain. And its lightweight configuration was specifically designed to allow both external and internal helicopter transportability.
The S-ATV was developed to meet a U.S. Special Operations Command’s requirement for a ground mobility vehicle. It is also aimed at possible export customers. The vehicle was unveiled in 2012 and was developed for reconnaissance and other specialised missions, such as counter-insurgency operations and long-range surveillance. It can be fitted with an add-on armour kit, which provides some degree of protection against direct fire, artillery shell splinters, landmines and IED blasts. It can accommodate 2 to 7 passengers, depending on the version and particular mission requirements.
