OSHKOSH, Wis. (WFRV) – On Thursday, Oshkosh Defense announced a three-year contract extension for the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles A2 (FMTV A2).
The contract extension will allow the U.S. Army to continue to order the FMTV A2, including three FMTV A2 Low Velocity Air Drop (LVAD) variants, through February 2028.
“The FMTV A2 contract extension enables the Army to continue modernizing its fleet with proven medium tactical vehicles in support of the Army Transformation Initiative and Force Design 2030,” said Pat Williams, Chief Programs Officer at Oshkosh Defense. “The FMTV A2 LVAD variants fill a critical capability gap for the Airborne community by replacing an aging fleet with an upgraded capability that can be rapidly deployed in contested and austere environments.”
