Oshkosh Defense has secured a $911M contract to supply Joint Light Tactical Vehicles to the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force, together with a select group of NATO and non-NATO allies.

The transaction included 1.2K vehicles and associated equipment to support Army and Marine Corps missions, as well as the governments of Lithuania and Slovenia. 

Mansfield said the vehicle works to integrate with more than 100 mission-specific package configurations. He added that the company works with the JLTV joint program office to make sure the platform's capacity to defend against sophisticated adversaries.
