Oshkosh, WI (WTAQ) – Oshkosh Corp. says that Lockheed-Martin has dropped its challenge to the awarding of the contract for the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle, clearing the way for production.
The military awarded the $6.7 billion contract to Oshkosh Defense. Lockheed-Martin’s challenge was denied last week by the government’s Court of Federal Claims, and now it has been dropped altogether.
Wilson R. Jones is the Oshkosh Corporation President and CEO.
“Throughout this protest process, we have remained confident that Oshkosh provided the most capable vehicle and best overall value in the JLTV competition,”
And nothing about the vehicle was compromised to win the bid.

“Because the U.S. Army and Marine Corps’ JLTV testing and evaluation process was extremely thorough, our nation’s Soldiers and Marines can rest assured they will be receiving the most advanced light tactical vehicle ever built.”
Oshkosh will build more than 16,000 vehicles during an eight-year period.
