Oshkosh Defense Joint Programme vice-president and general manager George Mansfield said: “Oshkosh has spent the past eight years optimising its manufacturing and design processes and building a robust supply chain with maximised efficiencies.
“As we prepare for the follow-on contract award to be announced in early 2023, Oshkosh is in a great position to continue providing the best JLTV solution today and for many years to come.”
The initial award for purchasing JLTVs was competitively secured by Oshkosh Defense in 2015.
So far, the company has manufactured more than 18,500 JLTVs and delivered over 50 vehicles to the military forces of the US and other nations.
Last year in November, Oshkosh received a similar $591.61m follow-on order to deliver JLTV for US military and its international allies.
