Production decision for JLTV delayed as Oshkosh addresses technical challenges

摘要

As the US Army weighs possible Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) requirement changes before making a full-rate production decision, Oshkosh Defense has said it has already addressed several technical challenges raised in a recent Pentagon test and evaluation report. In a series of emails to Jane's the company discussed the army's decision to delay its intended December 2018 full-rate production decision, as well as findings in the Pentagon's Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) fiscal year 2018 annual report.
