Oshkosh has announced it has received an additional $408.5 million award from the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command Life Cycle Management Command (TACOM LCMC) for 923 MRAP All Terrain Vehicles (M-ATV) to be delivered to the U.S. Armed Forces through March 2010.
This is the fourth award under the M-ATV delivery order first awarded in June 2009, and brings the total number of vehicles Oshkosh will supply to 5,219. The aggregate amount of the four awards is valued at $2.76 billion.
"Our customer is preparing to field the first Oshkosh M-ATVs for use by warfighters in the Afghanistan theater of operations," said Robert G. Bohn, Oshkosh Corporation chairman and chief executive officer.
"As these vehicles begin making their way onto the battlefield to ensure our men and women are well protected and their missions remain on the move in even the harshest environments, we will continue to make the vehicle's high-quantity production our top priority and provide any additional program support as needed."
