The contract is worth $476.2 million, according to a Feb. 7 Pentagon announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both incumbent Oshkosh \u2014 having produced the FMTV A1 variant since 2009 \u2014 and AM General submitted bids and the Army entered an evaluation period in May 2017 for its FMTV A2. Both companies touted their offerings at the Association of the U.S. Army\u2019s annual convention in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oshkosh has manufactured and sustained more than 150,000 tactical wheeled vehicles for the U.S. Defense Department and its allies and has delivered more than 36,000 FMTV trucks and trailers, according to the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor decades, the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles has formed the backbone of the Army\u2019s local, line haul, and unit resupply missions in combat, combat support, and combat service support units,\u201d according to a Feb. 7 Army statement. \u201cThese trucks, consisting of 15 variants sharing a common chassis and components, play an important role as the prime mover for several weapon, sensor, and communication platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDuring recent conflicts, we added more protection to our medium trucks, which added weight, along with high-tech systems that require more power,\u201d Alvin Bing, the Army\u2019s product director for medium tactical vehicles, said in the statement. \u201cThat gave the crew the protection they needed and kept them connected to modern battlefield technology, but it also took away from how the vehicles were originally intended to perform. So we launched the A2 effort to restore the performance we had traded, while preparing the fleet to grow with tomorrow\u2019s Army.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army used soldier feedback and time with industry to learn what was important and to \u201cmaximize value,\u201d Col. Dan Furber, the Army\u2019s project manager for transportation systems, said in the statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through industry days and demonstrator vehicle evaluations, the Army \u201cmade sure everyone had plenty of time to understand today\u2019s truck and what we wanted to change,\u201d Furber said. \u201cAs a result, we\u2019re going to give soldiers a great truck with a stronger chassis, better protection, more power, and new safety features that provide them much better ride quality, while making them safer and more effective.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army owns the technical data package for FMTV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of the competition, the Army asked vendors to propose a series engineering change proposals to the FMTV design and for plans on how the vehicles would be produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOshkosh\u2019s FMTV A2 design features parts commonality that results in streamlined maintenance, training, sustainment and overall cost efficiency for our customer,\u201d Pat Williams, vice president and general manager of Army and Marine Corps Programs at Oshkosh, said in a company statement. \u201cOshkosh is ideally positioned, given its engineering, manufacturing and FMTV experience, to execute the next generation FMTV A2 program, running along the same warm production line that has been building FMTV\u2019s for the last eight years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If all options are exercised during a five-year ordering period plus two additional one year options, Oshkosh could end up producing up to 2,400 vehicles under the contract, according to a Federal Business Opportunities notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The estimated date of completion is February 2022, according to the DoD contract notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This isn\u2019t the first time Oshkosh and AM General have gone relatively head-to-head in a recent vehicle competition. Oshkosh beat out both AM General and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2015\/09\/08\/lockheed-martin-protests-jltv-contract-award-to-oshkosh\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\"> Lockheed Martin<\/a> in August 2015 to build the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/2015\/08\/25\/oshkosh-wins-jltv-award\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Army\u2019s Humvee replacement<\/a>, the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The JLTV deal could ultimately be worth $6.7 billion in low-rate initial production but could generate up to $30 billion for Oshkosh over the entire program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the loss, AM General focused its efforts worldwide, recently announcing last year it would develop trucks a la carte for customers around the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/idex\/2017\/02\/20\/am-general-to-serve-up-trucks-a-la-carte\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">A<i>M General to serve up trucks a la carte<\/i><\/a>]<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Army, the new FMTVs will begin rolling off the production line in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Due to an editor\u2019s error, the headline originally misstated the value of the contract over the life of the program.
