Oshkosh vice-president and general manager Ken Juergens said the SFV variant has been designed to support the most challenging tactical operations in rugged and mountainous off-road terrain.
The M-ATV SFV features a modified cargo deck, intended to accept specialised equipment based on each mission’s requirements, and larger front windscreens for increased visibility.
The company will also provide more than 330 field service representatives to support the vehicles with onsite technical assistance and maintenance training for troops.
The delivery of the vehicles is scheduled to take place in May 2011, with spare parts due to start in March 2011.
