MRAP-ATV Continues To Drive Work For Plasan Bennington
Filed under: Business Line, Companies, Contract Awards, Department of Defense, Events, Oshkosh Truck Corp, Plasan, Services, States, Vermont, logistics, production program
The MRAP-ATV is the new lighter, more maneuverable MRAP made for service in Afghanistan. Oshkosh won the production contract and so far has been awarded contracts for over 8,000 vehicles by the U.S. military. Plasan Bennington makes armor plates for the vehicles and as Oshkosh receives contracts so does the Vermont company.
It announced that Oshkosh had given it a sub-contract worth over $170 million as part of a recent order of 1,460 MRAP vehicles. As the U.S. industry geared up to produce not only MRAPs but also uparmored HUMVEE and trucks several companies expanded their capabilities. Plasan Bennington is one along with BAE Systems. Protection against IED and mines demands the production of sophisticated metal plates for use on military vehicles.

Oshkosh Defense Named Wisconsin Manufacturer of the Year
OSHKOSH, Wis., Feb 26, 2010 — Oshkosh Defense, a division of Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE:OSK), received the 2009 Wisconsin Manufacturer of the Year (MOTY), winning the Grand Award in the “Mega” category for companies with more than 750 employees. Oshkosh was selected as the top company in this annual state-wide competition among Wisconsin-based manufacturers.
Oshkosh Defense was recognized for its operations and business excellence during the past year, and was judged on criteria, including financial growth, environmental solutions, technological advancement, operational excellence, commitment to employees and community support.
“The award acknowledges the progress and growth at Oshkosh Defense, as well the hard work and experience of our employees,” said Andy Hove, Oshkosh Corporation executive vice president and president, Defense. “This award is a tribute to the dedication of our workforce in building the finest military tactical wheeled vehicles to help supply our Armed Forces and help protect the lives of someone’s son, daughter, mother or father.”
For Oshkosh Defense, 2009 was a remarkable year. The Defense division won two major contracts and hired hundreds of new employees. The division first received an award on June 30, 2009 for the MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) program, resulting in a $4.74 billion contract for 8.079 vehicles to be used in Afghanistan’s harsh rugged terrain. The contract award brought an immediate ramp up in production for this brand-new vehicle. This was an “urgent” needs project for the U.S. Army, and Oshkosh and its employees were able to design, test, build and begin delivering these life-saving vehicles to Afghanistan in less than a year — a truly remarkable accomplishment.
The next significant award came on Aug. 26, 2009 for the Army’s Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV).These two momentous programs are in addition to the existing programs and vehicles that Oshkosh provides for medium tactical wheeled vehicles for the Marine Corps and the Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicles (FHTV) for the Army.
“Our success is the direct result of attention to detail from our management, the skill and determination of our employees and a companywide commitment to continuous improvement. Each day we come to work with a purpose and leave with a great sense of pride,” said Hove.
Nominees for the Wisconsin MOTY awards must have major manufacturing operations in the state. Winning companies are also recognized for having made Wisconsin a better place to live and work through their operations and business excellence.
MOTY winners were announced at an awards program on Thursday, Feb. 25 at The Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee. The MOTY Awards Program is co-sponsored by Michael Best and Friedrich LLP, Baker Tilly Virchow Krause LLP, and Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce.

Plasan Gets Another Armor Contract For The MRAP-ATV
Filed under: Business Line, Companies, Contract Awards, Countries, Department of Defense, Events, Israel, Oshkosh Truck Corp, Plasan, Services, logistics, production program
Oshkosh builds the MRAP-ATV for the U.S. military for use in Afghanistan. This is a lighter, more maneuverable Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle then the older designs. They utilize the Israeli company, Plasan, to make armor kits for these vehicles. Because the U.S. has been buying billions of dollars worth of the vehicles Plasan as well has been receiving substantial contracts as well.
The company announced yesterday a further $170 million contract to build 1,460 kits. Plasan has been growing steadily as the world’s demand for armored vehicles, especially those optimized for protection against IED and mines, has also grown. As the U.S. and its allies build out their fleets of vehicles ultimately demand will decline. The MRAP market has already seen some changes as the focus of effort shifted from Iraq to Afghanistan and will again as the U.S. ends its commitment there.
Rumor Of New MRAP Contracts For Afghanistan May Bouy Navistar
Filed under: BAE Systems, Business Line, Companies, Department of Defense, Events, Force Protection, Navistar, Oshkosh Truck Corp, Services, logistics, production program
An internal memo from within the Department of Defense some how leaked out. It states that in support of the U.S. operations in Afghanistan a further 2,500 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles will be required. Over the last two years the focus of acquisition for these kind of vehicles has been the Oshkosh produced MRAP-AT which was the result of the MRAP-All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) contest. The MRAP-ATV requirements were for a lighter, more maneuverable vehicle able to operate better in Afghanistan’s rough terrain.
Navistar was unable to win the MRAP-ATV contest and have missed out on the several hundred million dollars worth of orders for those vehicles. If the memo is correct an order for over one thousand of their MRAP type vehicles for use in Afghanistan will be welcome. The U.S. military has spent a great deal on MRAPs to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan over the last five years. They now possess significant numbers of them and will use them for several years to come. There will be little need to buy more of them and this will affect Navistar, BAE Systems and Force Protection all who ramped up production to meet demand.

Filed under: Business Line, Companies, Contract Awards, Events, Mississippi, Navistar, Oshkosh Truck Corp, Services, U.S. Army, logistics, production program
The United States military has expended a great deal of logistics and support vehicles in Iraq and Afghanistan. These trucks have taken a beating both from heavy use and enemy attacks. The Army has let several contracts recently to repair, reset and replace them. Yesterday it was announced that Navistar would be awarded a contract to provide tanker trucks, wreckers and generic troop transport vehicles. The value of this contract is over $400 million.
Navistar was disappointed that it did not win a portion of the MRAP-ATV contract to provide the lighter vehicles for use in Afghanistan. That contract went to Oshkosh. This contract will offset some of the losses from not contributing to that effort. It also demonstrates that the U.S. has been able to grow a decent industrial base when it comes to logistic support vehicles.

Filed under: Business Line, Companies, Contract Awards, Department of Defense, Events, Oshkosh Truck Corp, Schott North America, Services, States, U.S. Army, logistics, production program
Oshkosh Defense was awarded the contract to build the new Mine Resistant Ambush Protected – All Terrain Vehicle (MRAP-ATV) earlier this year for use in the rougher terrain of Afghanistan. Under this contract several thousand vehicles will be built for use by the Army, Marine Corps and other services. As with any contract of this size there will be large orders placed with the necessary sub-contractors.
For example Plasan in Vermont will provide armor plate for the vehicles as they have for other MRAP and up-armored trucks and HUMVEES. Now SCHOTT North America located in Indiana announced that they have received a contract from Oshkosh to provide armored glass for the MRAP-ATV.
The contract will be require over a hundred more workers to be hired and the company to invest about $7 million in their plants. This contract illustrates how large defense contracts while seemingly being awarded to only one company spread across the U.S. and foriegn suppliers as parts and components are produced.
First Oshkosh LVSR Deployed to Afghanistan In Support of U.S. Marine Corps — Press Release
Filed under: Business Line, Companies, Events, Oshkosh Truck Corp, Press Releases, Services, U.S. Army, logistics, production program
First Oshkosh LVSR Deployed to Afghanistan In Support of U.S. Marine Corps
OSHKOSH, Wis. — Oct. 19, 2009 — Oshkosh Defense, a division of Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE:OSK), announced today that the first Logistics Vehicle System Replacement (LVSR) has been deployed with the U.S. Marine Corps in Afghanistan, with two additional vehicles set to be delivered later in October. All three vehicles being delivered are cargo variants. Oshkosh is also sending two Field Service Representatives (FSR) to Afghanistan this month to provide support services for LVSR users.
The heavy-payload LVSR, which arrived in Afghanistan in September, is a next-generation replacement for the LVS and features survivability, mobility and performance improvements. The vehicle uses the industry-leading Oshkosh® TAK-4® independent suspension system and mechanical rear-steer technology to provide superior mobility on demanding off-road terrain and unimproved roads. The LVSR also features factory-installed armor as part of its crew cab and is designed to accept an add-on armor kit for increased protection.
“The fielding of this vehicle in Afghanistan is a significant milestone for both the U.S. Marine Corps and Oshkosh Defense,” said Andy Hove, Oshkosh Corporation executive vice president and president, Defense. “The LVSR expands on the capabilities of the LVS, which has been an integral part of the Marine Corps fleet for nearly 25 years, to negotiate and overcome the most challenging environments, including those found in Afghanistan.”
The LVSR features an on-road payload capacity of 22.5 tons and an off-road payload capacity of 16.5 tons. The LVSR uses a single-source lubrication system for simplified maintenance and has a 600-horsepower C15 engine. The vehicle also uses Oshkosh’s Command Zone embedded diagnostics to monitor major vehicle systems, including the engine, transmission and brakes. Vehicle service and support is streamlined by the parts and maintenance commonality the LVSR shares with more than 10,000 fielded Oshkosh Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacements (MTVR).
Oshkosh won the competitively bid indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract for the LVSR in June 2006. The contract has a value of $740.2 million based on a production quantity of 1,592 vehicles.
Oshkosh’s fully trained FSRs go where the military goes and provide a full range of in-field support services, including training, maintenance support, and repair and supply services. They are stationed around the world, including in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan, and also provide a direct link to Oshkosh and its parts network.
Oshkosh Defense is a leading manufacturer of both medium and heavy tactical wheeled vehicles in the U.S. defense industry. More than 67,000 military-class vehicles have been produced in the company’s manufacturing facilities.

Thales Pitches New Australian MRAP
Filed under: Australia, Business Line, Companies, Countries, Events, Promotions, Thales, development program, logistics, production program
The market for Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles has grown over the last five years incrementally. The United States and its Allies have bought thousands of the vehicles for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan where the major threat has been from mines and Improvised Explosive Devices (IED). The U.S. military is beginning its winding down of operations in Iraq which will mean less requirement for new MRAP vehicles. The U.S. has also awarded Oshkosh large contracts for a new MRAP-ATV to support their troops in Afghanistan. The world market though for these types of vehicles should be fairly solid as the IED has been demonstrated as a weapon of choice.
Thales in Australia has successfully marketed and sold their larger Bushmaster vehicle to both its home forces as well as The Netherlands for use in Afghanistan. Now it has developed the lighter Hawkei MRAP. This vehicle is targeted towards replacing tactical vehicles like the Land Rover or HUMVEE. It has removable armor to facilitate transportation and is configurable to conduct a variety of missions. Thales is hoping that the Australian military will invest in it to supplement their Land Rover vehicles as well as marketing it to other countries.
There is certainly will continue to be people willing to invest in these type of vehicles especially if it is priced competitively and offers some capabilities that other don’t.
U.S. Army orders trucks, trailers

More MRAP-ATV Work For Vermont’s Plasan
Filed under: Business Line, Congress, Contract Awards, Countries, Events, Israel, Plasan North America, Services, U.S. Army, Vermont, logistics, production program
This Summer Oshkosh was awarded the new Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) ATV contract to begin building new, lighter vehicles for use in Afghanistan. This is a multi-billion contract for several thousand of the lighter, more maneuverable vehicles. Obviously Oshkosh must then add awards to its suppliers.
One of the key ones is Plasan North America located in Vermont that builds armor plate for the new vehicle. Plasan is an Israeli based company that has expanded into the United States. The Israeli military has long experience with the kinds of vehicles like MRAP in their low level fighting in Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank. As Oshkosh makes their contracted 4,000 vehicles Plasan will make armor for them. The company is planning to expand its plant and hire more people as work ramps up.
Of course like all military contracts it will end one day and that may lead to plant closings and lay offs unless other work can be found. This is what BAE Systems is facing in Sealy, TX after losing a truck contract. This unfortunately is what the military procurement system does as it only the ability to support so many procurement programs at once.

Oshkosh Wins Another Contract
Filed under: Business Line, Companies, Contract Awards, Events, Oshkosh Truck Corp, Services, U.S. Army, logistics, production program
Following up on its recent MRAP-ATV and heavy truck contracts Oshkosh announced that they have been awarded another contract to build Family of Medium Tactical Vehicle (FMTV) trucks and trailers. This contract is called the rebuy program. If all options are exercised over the next five years the contract could be worth up to $2.6 billion.
The initial order is for about $280 million worth of the vehicles. The rebuy seems to indicate that this contract is to begin replenishing the supply of the vehicles in the Army. The U.S. lost a great deal of vehicles in Iraq and Afghanistan to IED and mines. These were of all types including tanks, armored personnel carriers and logistic support vehicles like the FMTV.
Oshkosh says bid supports requirements
OSHKOSH, Wis., Aug. 24 (UPI) -- Oshkosh Defense says its submitted bid for the U.S. Army's Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles competitive rebuy supports a commitment to troop survivability.
Oshkosh Keeps Winning
Filed under: BAE Systems, Business Line, Companies, Contract Awards, Department of Defense, Events, Navistar, Oshkosh Truck Corp, Services, U.S. Army, logistics, production program
Fresh off of winning two contracts for the new MRAP-ATV worth over a billion dollars for use in Afghanistan Oshkosh announced that they had won two smaller contracts. These are only worth about $36 million but indicate that the company is showing some strength. The first is for heavy trucks to support U.S. Army engineering troops. The second is to treat Army tanker trucks to protect against rupturing and burning fuel during transport.
The MRAP-ATV contract is probably the last major contract for these types of vehicles. The win by Oshkosh has already caused ripples through out the industry with Navistar and BAE Systems losing work and jobs. The U.S. military is thinking now how to fit the existing MRAP vehicles purchased for Iraq into their tactical organizations. The MRAP-ATV will be lighter and more maneuverable to support operations in rougher terrain.
MRAP-ATV Fallout Leads To Navistar Layoffs
Filed under: Business Line, Companies, Contract Awards, Department of Defense, Events, Mississippi, Navistar, Restructuring, Services, production program
Oshkosh won the MRAP-ATV contract for a new vehicle for use in Afghanistan. One of the losing bidders was Navistar who had sold several thousand MRAP vehicles for use in Iraq to the U.S. Department of Defense.
Now with the fact that they did not win the contract to build the new vehicles for use in Afghanistan the company has announced layoffs at their Mississippi plant. This illustrates one of the problems with defense contracting. If you don’t continue to win contracts to provide systems or services you will eventually wither. Defense acquisition is normally for a certain number of units or for a period of time that will end. Companies win or lose contracts and that leads to contractions or expansions in work forces.
