Oshkosh Defense, LLC
Oshkosh Defense, LLC, an Oshkosh Corporation company, was selected by the U.S. Army, through the Ground Vehicle Systems Other Transaction Agreement (GVS OTA), to participate in Phase I, Platform Prototype Design and Build, of the Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) program.
Leveraging an elite team of Oshkosh Defense, Pratt Miller Defense, and QinetiQ, Oshkosh submitted its response to the Army’s Request for Prototype Proposal in May 2023.
“We're proud to be selected to participate in Phase I of the RCV program,” says Pat Williams, chief programs officer for Oshkosh Defense. “We offer a mature and proven solution, with demonstrated durability and flexibility to incorporate new technologies, to meet the demands of an evolving battlefield.”
The tracked, autonomous vehicles will support varying payloads and advanced weapons systems through scalable, mission-focused modularity.
“Our RCV is informed by years of customer feedback and tailored to meet the needs of the Soldier,” Williams continues. “We look forward to continuing our partnership with the Army to deliver a soldier-centered, purpose-built solution.”
Oshkosh will deliver two platform prototypes for testing in August 2024.
