Oshkosh Defense recently unveiled the new Light Combat Tactical All-Terrain Vehicle Command and Control (L-ATV C2) in addition to displaying a series of Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTV).
The display occurred during the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) National Conference in Washington, D.C.
The firm partnered with L3Harris Technologies to demonstrate communications suite capability, representing one of the ways a mobile command center can be configured on the back of a highly mobile light tactical wheeled vehicle.
L-ATV C2 designers said the vehicle has ample available power and configuration flexibility to adjust and modify its interior, depending on the needs of the commander and crew.
“The JLTV fleet provides our armed forces a critical combination of protection and extreme off-road mobility to ensure reliable maneuverability within combat formations,” George Mansfield, vice president, and general manager of Joint Programs for Oshkosh Defense, said. “The L-ATV C2 provides the same level of protection and extreme off-road mobility as our already fielded JLTV platform. In addition, the L-ATV C2 houses a robust communications suite, giving our armed forces the unique and highly-desirable advantage of staying well-connected while on the move.”
Mansfield said the L-ATV C2 enables commanders to quickly maneuver on the battlefield, directing dismounted units using assured communications provided by the integrated C4 equipment.
