Oshkosh Defense has secured a contract to deliver 322 Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTVs) to the Belgium Defense Forces.

Awarded by the Belgium Ministry of Defence, the contract will involve the delivery of 322 Oshkosh Defense Command and Liaison Vehicles (CLV), a JLTV platform equipped with Belgian communication systems. This JLTV is also used by the US military.

Oshkosh Defense president John Bryant said: “Oshkosh Defense is honoured that Belgium has chosen to equip its armed forces with the Oshkosh CLV.

The deal marks Oshkosh Defense’s first large direct commercial sale of a JLTV-based vehicle, which is usually procured through foreign military sale programmes.

Director Land Systems Colonel Filip De Varé said: “The Belgian Defence opted for a worldwide competition in which ‘money for value’ was the only criterion.
