The Oshkosh L-ATV combines the ballistic capability of a light tank, the
underbody blast protection of a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP)
class vehicle and the extreme mobility of a Baja racer. It offers armed
forces around the globe next-generation capabilities that no other
vehicle can match. In August 2015, after extensive U.S. Government
testing and evaluation, the U.S. Army and Marine Corps selected the
Oshkosh L-ATV as the winner of its Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV)
program, which will replace a large portion of the legacy HMMWV fleet.
“We are very pleased to be named to Popular Science’s prestigious
list of products that make a difference,” said Charles L. Szews, Oshkosh
Corporation chief executive officer. “The L-ATV is a testament to all
our employees who worked tirelessly for many years to design and build
the world’s most technologically advanced tactical wheeled vehicle,
which will take our brave Soldiers and Marines to the fight, help them
complete their missions and return home safely. We are honored to be
selected.”
This is the 28th year of the Popular Science awards
competition. The criteria for the Popular Science judges’
panel are products that transform their category, solve an unsolvable
problem, incorporate new ideas and functions and are ideas that are
revolutionary, not evolutionary.
