Oshkosh, Wisconsin – Oshkosh Defense LLC has collaborated with EOS and Orbital ATK for a live fire demonstration at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. The Oshkosh MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) Standard Base (SXB) was outfitted with an EOS R-400 fire control system integrated with Orbital ATK’s M230LF 30mm lightweight automatic chain gun to demonstrate the viability and lethal effectiveness of a medium caliber weapon system equipped M-ATV.
The combat-proven Oshkosh M-ATV is designed to accommodate a wide variety of weapon systems. Its off-road mobility and integrated protection provide capabilities for challenging operations.
This live fire demonstration showcased improved accuracy in mobile engagements and integrated improved lethality on the M-ATV using a multi-role, multi-target, automatic gun combined with a 3-axis stabilized Remote Weapon Station (RWS).
Advanced performance data was captured from both the vehicle and the weapon system during the demonstration that included weapon and ammunition data, range and ambient environment, and vehicle attitude and dynamics.
“On the modern battlefield, it is critical to have optimal protected mobility and fully integrated weapon systems,” says U.S. Army Major General (Retired) John Urias, executive vice president of Oshkosh Corp. and president of Oshkosh Defense. “The Oshkosh M-ATV family of vehicles offers great design flexibility to meet a full range of mission requirements, protection levels, and weapon system integration capabilities.”
