The US Armed Forces will receive a total of 60,000 new JLTV armored vehicles. The US Armed Forces expect to receive about 60,000 new JLTV (Joint Light Tactical Vehicles) manufactured by Oshkosh Defense in the next five years.
It is reported that US Army units plan to get 50,000 JLTV armored vehicles and about 10,000 vehicles are designed to equip the Marine Corps unit. The total value of the contract is estimated at 24 billion dollars.
It is assumed that the first batch of 500 newest JLTV armored vehicles will be put into service in the 10th Mountain Division of the US Army already in early 2019. JLTV will replace obsolete high-mobility vehicles based on the Hamvy platform.
Representatives of Oshkosh Defense claim that at the moment about 100 JLTV armored cars have already been manufactured for evaluation tests and transferred to the army corps and Marine Corps corps.
Oshkosh Defense vice president for joint programs and general manager, Dave Diersen, said: "The JLTV program provides our soldiers and marines with a light tactical car with the best characteristics in the world."
New Oshkosh JLTV protection system Core1080 Crew Protection System (representing a full protection against improvised explosive devices and real mines). There is also an independent adaptive suspension, which will manually or automatically adjust the clearance (ride height) to half a meter.
The weight of Oshkosh is six and a half tons. The standard version of the power plant has a capacity of 300 hp. The working volume of the engine is 6.6 liters. This will allow the Oshkosh JLTV armored vehicle to complete nearly 500 kilometers on one full gas station. Plus, according to the representatives of Oshkosh Corp, their hybrid armored car is 70% superior to the nearest competitors in terms of speed and maneuverability.
According to rough estimates, each hybrid Oshkosh JLTV, with additional equipment, will cost a little less than $ 400 thousand.
