The U.S. Army recently placed a $31 million order with Oshkosh Defense for Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) A2 Low-Velocity Airdrop (LVAD) M1081 4×4 and 6×6 Cargo vehicles.
Last year, the Army placed more than $75 million in orders, and has placed orders for 953 Oshkosh FMTV A2 LVADs over the course of the program. The Army’s continued investment in the FMTV A2 LVAD is advancing the technology.
“Each additional FMTV A2 LVAD order reflects the Army’s continued investment in a proven capability that supports the evolving needs of the changing battlefield,” Jeff Heggemeier, Oshkosh Defense vice president and general manager, said. “The FMTV A2’s flexibility allows it to be adapted to various mission sets, and Oshkosh Defense remains committed to delivering adaptable, reliable vehicles that meet the pace of operational requirements.”
The company will continue to update the FMTV A2 platform to meet changing operational requirements and support the Army’s commitment to deliver modernized LVAD capability to soldiers.
