OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Oshkosh Defense LLC announced this morning that they have reached a three-year contract extension for the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles A2 (FMTV A2).
The contract now goes through February 2028, and allows the U.S. Army to continue ordering the FMTV A2, including three Low Velocity Air Drop variants.
This award provides Oshkosh Defense, an Oshkosh Corporation business, to continue production of these vehicles into 2030.
Oshkosh Defense Chief Programs Officer applauded the extension, saying it allows the Army to continue modernizing its fleet of tactical vehicles.
“The FMTV A2 contract extension enables the Army to continue modernizing its fleet with proven medium tactical vehicles in support of the Army Transformation Initiative and Force Design 2030,” Williams said.
“The FMTV A2 LVAD variants fill a critical capability gap for the Airborne community by replacing an aging fleet with an upgraded capability that can be rapidly deployed in contested and austere environments.”
The local defense company also won a $95 million contract from the Army in April for a family of heavy tactical vehicle V order.
Oshkosh Defense’s contract for these vehicles began in 2009 with the FMTV A1P2.
