We wrote last month about the Northrop Grumman and Oshkosh joint bid on the JLTV (Joint Light Tactical Vehicle) program. They have now announced bringing Israeli manufacturer Plasan on board for armor expertise. “Plasan specializes in the design of armor protection systems,” said Dani Ziv, chief executive officer of Plasan. “We are pleased to be designing an armor solution exclusively with Oshkosh Corporation for the JLTV program.”
“Oshkosh Corporation Defense Group has demonstrated that it has the technology and expertise to design and build some of the world’s toughest military trucks,” said John Stoddart, executive vice president, Oshkosh Corporation and president, Defense Group. “By teaming with Plasan, we will be able to deliver a JLTV concept that meets the survivability and mobility needs of soldiers and Marines.”
