At
Modern Day Marine 2012 exhibition, Sept. 25-27, 2012, in Quantico (United
States), the American Company Oshkosh Defense has unveiled its new Special
Purpose All-Terrain Vehicle (S-ATV) designed for unconventional and
reconnaissance missions. Whether requiring extreme off-road mobility,
air transportability or rapid adaptability, the Oshkosh Defense®
Special Purpose All-Terrain Vehicle (S-ATV) fulfills the greater demands
of Reconnaissance and unconventional missions. The S-ATV was built with
direct input from Warfighters to provide the advanced performance needed
for Special Reconnaissance, Counterinsurgency Operations, Long Range
Surveillance, Site Seizure and Direct Combat. Oshkosh has revolutionized
the S-ATV’s performance capacity and mission adaptability, combining
innovative engineering with a solid understanding of the challenges
forces face when fulfilling special missions. Its world-class suspension
system has been proven to maximize mobility over the most rugged off-road
terrain. Oshkosh has responded to the US Special Operations Command’s
Ground Mobility Vehicle (GMV) 1.1 project with a variant of the S-ATV.
The company is one of a number known to have responded to the GMV 1.1
requirement, which includes plans to acquire up to 1,300 vehicles for
special operations missions with requirements for air transportability,
weapons capabilities and high mobility.

| Armament |
The S-ATV
is fitted with a 360° ring mount circular station mounted
on the top middle of the crew compartment which can be armed
with a 12.7mm or 7.62mm machine gun. Another 7.62mm or 5.56mm

with one 7.62 mm or 5.56mm machine is available on the side
window for the vehicle commander.

| Design
and protection |
The
layout of the Oshkosh S-ATV is very similar to a 4x4 light tactical
vehicle with the engine at the front, the crew compartment in
the middle and a cargo area at the rear. The S-ATV had been
designed to be easily reconfigurable and could accommodate two
to seven soldiers, depending on the particular mission requirements.
The S-ATV is ready mounts for ballistic and blast protection
upgrades. A large cargo area is available at the rear side of
the vehicle which can be used to carry water, fuel and ammunition
boxes. The vehicle has a maximum payload capacity of 3,629 kg.
Straps are available on the engine compartment bonnet for fixing
equipment or ammunitions boxes. Two doors are mounted to each
side of the crew compartment and three large windows are fitted
to the front.
|
| Mobility |
The
Oshkosh S-ATV is motorized with a Turbocharged diesel engine
with a maximum power from 225 to 300 hp. The vehicle is fitted
with the TAK-4i intelligent independent-suspension system, developed
from the Oshkosh experience with the M-ATV, provided significantly
faster speeds when operating off-road. The S-ATV can reach a
maximum road speed of 120 km/h with a maximum cruising range
of 500 km.

The Oshkosh S-ATV’s whole systems engineering approach
delivers the utmost in operational readiness. It features plug
and play C4I capacity, integrated ready mounts for a multitude
of armaments and ballistic and blast protection upgrades –
all in one modular, rapidly reconfigurable and extremely capable
platform. Its lightweight configuration was specifically designed
to allow both external and internal helicopter transportability.
Standard equipment of the S-ATV Oshkosh includes central tire
inflation system and cold weather kit to permit operation to
-45°C.
