The order includes HEMTT A4 variants and the autonomous-ready Palletized Load System (PLS) A2, positioning modernized Oshkosh platforms for integration with next-generation defense technologies. Some vehicles will be part of the development and fielding of advanced air defense systems that counter threats such as ballistic, hypersonic and cruise missiles.

The vehicles will support multiple U.S. Army customers, including the National Guard, Reserve and the Program Executive Office Missiles & Space (PEO MS) for the Indirect Fire Protection Capability (IFPC) system.

Pat Williams, chief programs officer at Oshkosh Defense, said the company is proud to support the National Guard and Reserve forces through its partnership with the U.S. Army, and to enable the integration of next-generation defense capabilities.

“These orders demonstrate the versatility of the FHTV fleet to fill diverse mission sets across all Army components,” he added, “and underscores Oshkosh’s ability to deliver scalable, mission-ready solutions.”
