Oshkosh displays its JLT Vehicle at Dubai Airshow 2017.

Oshkosh Defense is displaying next-generation mobility and transportability with the Oshkosh Defense Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) at the Dubai Airshow, November 12-16, 2017 at the Dubai World Central in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Oshkosh Defense leadership is available to discuss the company’s full portfolio, including the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle, in the U.S Pavilion at the Dubai Airshow in booth #1588.

Oshkosh Defense offers a full range of cutting-edge military, security and airport fire fighting vehicles to serve customers throughout the Middle East Region, including the highly transportable Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV). Oshkosh displays a General Purpose variant of the JLTV, equipped with a dual weapon R400 S Remote Weapon System from EOS equipped with an Orbital ATK XM914 and a M240 machine gun.

“Allied forces around the globe demand their military vehicles have the mobility, protection, and transportability to serve a full range of mission capabilities,” said George Mansfield, Vice President and General Manager, International at Oshkosh Defense. “The Oshkosh Joint Light Tactical Vehicle combines battle-proven automotive technologies, Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP)-levels of protection, and extreme off-road mobility in a light-weight, highly-transportable package. The JLTV offers armed forces a technological leap in capabilities that other light vehicles in the industry simply cannot match.”

The Joint Light Tactical Vehicle family of vehicles is equipped with the TAK-4i™ intelligent independent suspension system, which is the next-generation of Oshkosh’s advanced TAK-4® independent suspension system. The TAK-4i system allows the JLTV to deliver superior ride quality at speeds 70 percent faster than today’s top-performing tactical wheeled vehicles. Additionally, the TAK-4i independent suspension system can be raised and lowered using interior operator controls to meet sea, air and land transportability requirements. The JLTV can be air transported internally by a C-130, C-5, and C-17 or externally by CH-47 and CH-53.

Under the U.S. JLTV contract, Oshkosh will produce and deliver up to 17,000 Joint Light Tactical Vehicle's for the U.S. Army and Marine Corps. The JLTV program is scheduled to achieve full rate production authorization in Fiscal Year 2019 (FY19), at which time the vehicle would be available for foreign military sale (FMS) deliveries.
