OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The U.S. Army has placed a Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicle (FHTV) V order with Oshkosh Defense, valued at $95 million.
The orders include the modernized, autonomy-ready Palletized Load System (PLS) A2.
The advanced driver assistance and autonomy-ready technologies of the PLS A2 promote significant improvements to soldier safety and broadens battlefield awareness. By integrating by-wire and active-safety systems, the PLS A2 supports the Army’s vision for a technology-enabled logistics force capable of executing missions in contested environments with reduced risk to the Warfighter.
“The PLS A2 exemplifies how Oshkosh Defense is harnessing next-generation autonomy to enable human-machine integration and enhance operational efficiency,” said Pat Williams, chief programs officer at Oshkosh Defense. “As the U.S. Army advances its ‘transformation in contact’ initiatives, we remain committed to engineering mission-critical solutions that deliver technologies that can be rapidly integrated within existing operational units.”
Production launch of the PLS A2 occurs this year.
