The vehicles on display reflect Oshkosh's wide range of fleet solutions, from light to heavy, for a variety of military functions. The vehicles also utilize mobility and survivability solutions that have been proven on the modern battlefield.

The M-ATV is designed to protect its passengers in a variety of missions that take place on unimproved roads and off-road terrain, including troop patrol, convoy escort, medical evacuation and others. The M-ATV is built with a factory-installed armor system and also can accept add-on armor packages, and uses the Oshkosh TAK-4<http://bit.ly/hFQJMf>(r) independent suspension system to achieve a 70 percent off-road profile capability. The SFV variant is designed for special operations units. It delivers M-ATV protection and mobility along with a modified cargo deck, which can accept specialized equipment based on mission requirements, and larger front windscreens.
     
The Global HET quickly and safely transports battle tanks, armored and recovery vehicles, and construction equipment to mission sites while reducing the wear and tear on both the equipment and crew that can occur with long-distance transportation. The vehicle uses a 700-horsepower engine, is designed to accept add-on armor and can transport payloads weighing up to 72 tons. Oshkosh has delivered the HET to countries such as Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Oman.

The MTT, also available in a 4x4 configuration, is built to travel 70 percent off-road to keep the supply chain moving even in difficult cross-country terrain. Its commonality with other Oshkosh vehicles, combined with Oshkosh's global aftermarket support network, makes it a reliable and easy-to-maintain vehicle.
