The
Oshkosh Defense M-ATV
navigates off-road terrain with advanced battle-proven technologies and
mission-critical durability. Demonstrating varied mission capabilities
– from surveillance and target acquisition to ambush and explosives
protection – the M-ATV Standard Wheel Base variants are agile vehicles
for response and support on the battlefield. The Oshkosh M-ATV can be fitted with a variety of remote-controlled weapon stations. The M-ATV's Oshkosh roof mounted turret is capable of mounting either an M240 machine gun, a Mk 19 grenade launcher or, a BGM-71 TOW Anti-tank guided missile, all of which can be operated either from the turret or remotely inside the cabin. |
