Here’s The New Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) For The Military And It’s AWESOME

I love it when the military get’s new equipment and for several reasons, the main one being that it helps our troops get to and from, a hostile environment quickly and safely and the new Joint Light Tactical Vehicle from OSHKOSH DEFENSE certainly does that. I only wish that I was young again, so that I could use some of the new equipment like the JLTV. Oh well, I guess I’ll wait for the civilian model to come-out in a couple of years.

Here’s what the folks at OSHKOSH DEFENSE have to say about the JLTV:

The Oshkosh Defense^® Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) is designed for never-before-achieved speed, power and protected mobility outside the wire. From its unrivaled TAK-4i™ intelligent independent suspension system* to scalable levels of protection and complete plug and play C4ISR capability – Oshkosh JLTV is the go-anywhere, do-anything light tactical vehicle.

Featuring unprecedented performance with the TAK-4i™ intelligent independent suspension system*, the Oshkosh JLTV quickly adjusts to achieve diverse transportability needs – by air (CH-47 and CH-53 helicopters; C-130, C-5, C-17 and A400 Cargo fixed-wing aircraft), land and sea. And it’s ready on arrival, giving troops the reliability and performance needed for harsh battlefield environments.
