In the summer of 2008, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) began to examine the possibility of developing and procuring a lighter-weight, all-terrain capable MRAP variant to address the poor roads and difficult terrain of Afghanistan. Six different vehicle types (from five manufacturers) were delivered to the U.S. Army for two months of evaluation. The Oshkosh M-ATV was chosen because it had the best survivability and Oshkosh had the best technical and manufacturing capabilities of all the competitors. The initial M-ATV delivery order was valued at over $1 billion and included 2,244 M-ATVs. The overall M-ATV requirement had increased in early June from 2,080 to 5,244 M-ATVs, these split 2,598 (Army), 1,565 (Marines), 643 (U.S. Special Operations Command), 280 (Air Force), 65 (Navy), and 93 for testing.
Designed to replace the M1114 HMMWV, the M-ATV MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) entered service in 2009. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
