The '''Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles''' ('''FMTV''') are a series of [[military vehicle]]s based upon a common [[chassis]], varying by [[payload]] and mission requirements. The FMTV is derived from the Austrian [[Steyr_90_series#Military_career|Steyr 12M18]] truck, but substantially modified to meet [[United States Army]] requirements. These include a minimum 50 percent U.S. content.<ref name="IHS Jane's Land Warfare Platforms Logistics, Support & Unmanned 2015–2016 Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV)">{{cite web|url=https://janes.ihs.com/CustomPages/Janes/DisplayPage.aspx?DocType=Reference&ItemId=+++1495103&Pubabbrev=JLSU|title=Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV)|publisher=IHS Jane's|access-date=2015-10-30|archive-date=15 March 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200315001150/https://my.ihs.com/Janes?th=janes&callingurl=https%3A%2F%2Fjanes.ihs.com%2FLogisticsSupportUnmanned%2FDisplay%2F1495103|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="About the FMTV">{{cite web |url=http://www.bga-aeroweb.com/Defense/FMTV.html|title=About the FMTV|publisher=Joakim Kasper Oestergaard Balle III|date=2015-05-18|access-date=2015-10-30}}</ref>

There were originally 17 FMTV variants—four variants in the nominal 2.5 U.S. ton payload class, designated Light Medium Tactical Vehicle (LMTV), and 13 variants with a nominal 5 U.S. ton payload rating, called Medium Tactical Vehicle (MTV).<ref name="Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles FMTV">{{cite web |url=http://oshkoshdefense.com/vehicles/fmtv/|title=FMTV|publisher=Oshkosh Defense|access-date=2015-11-20}}</ref>

Since the first FMTVs were fielded in January 1996, the family has been expanded and the overall design enhanced considerably. The FMTV was originally manufactured by [[Stewart & Stevenson]] (1996–2006), then by [[Armor Holdings]] (2006–2007), next by  [[BAE Systems]] Platforms & Services. Since 2011 it has been manufactured by [[Oshkosh Corporation]].<ref name="IHS Jane's Land Warfare Platforms Logistics, Support & Unmanned 2015–2016 Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV)" />

==Development and production history==

The FMTV's origins trace back to a U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command ([[United States Army Training and Doctrine Command|TRADOC]]) requirements document issued in 1983 for a Medium Tactical Truck (MTT), the intended replacement for the in-service [[M35 series 2½-ton 6×6 cargo truck|2.5-ton truck]]. In July 1984, a program to look at a future 5-ton truck procurement to replace in-service 2.5- and [[M809 series trucks|5-ton trucks]] began. Cost analysis demonstrated that the procurement should be for both 2.5- and 5-ton trucks. In October 1984, the FMTV formally began as a program. The [[request for proposal]]s (RFP) for FMTV was released in 1988. At this time it was expected that around 120,000 trucks would be ordered, over three five-year contracts.<ref name="IHS Jane's Land Warfare Platforms Logistics, Support & Unmanned 2015–2016 Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV)" /><ref name="FMTV Part 1" />

In October 1988, the [[United States Army]] awarded contracts to [[Stewart & Stevenson]], the Tactical Truck Corporation, a 50/50 joint venture between General Motors Military Vehicles and the BMY Wheeled Vehicle Division of the [[Harsco]] Corporation, and [[Teledyne]] [[Continental Aerospace Technologies|Continental Motors]], for 15 prototype vehicles each, to be completed by January 1989. In October 1991 a five-year FMTV contract was awarded to Stewart & Stevenson. The initial contract order total was expected to be 20,000 vehicles. This was reduced to 10,843 vehicles, and valued at US$1.2 billion. Some options were added, raising the total to 11,197 vehicles over seven contract years. In January 1996, the first FMTVs were fielded.<ref name="IHS Jane's Land Warfare Platforms Logistics, Support & Unmanned 2015–2016 Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV)" /><ref name="FMTV Part 1" />

In October 1998, Stewart & Stevenson was awarded the second FMTV contract, for 8,000 trucks and 1,500 companion trailers, for $1.4 billion. Total quantities including options were 11,491 trucks and 2,292 trailers, delivered between September 1999 and October 2004. Trucks were the improved A1 model, with improvements including an uprated engine (1998 [[United States Environmental Protection Agency|EPA]] compliant) and transmission, and the introduction of [[anti-lock braking system|ABS braking]]. In July 2000, the first A1 models were fielded .<ref name="IHS Jane's Land Warfare Platforms Logistics, Support & Unmanned 2015–2016 Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV)" /><ref name="FMTV Part 1" />

In April 2001, Stewart & Stevenson and [[Oshkosh Corporation|Oshkosh Truck Corporation]] were awarded contracts for the Evaluation Phase (Phase 1) of the FMTV A1 Competitive Rebuy (FMTV A1 CR) program for the next FMTV production contract. Following trials and evaluation, in April 2003 the contract was awarded to Stewart & Stevenson. Production of the FMTV A1 CR, designated FMTV A1R, began in Q3 2004. Improvements to A1R models were numerous, and included a new EPA 2004 compliant [[Caterpillar Inc.|Caterpillar]] C7 engine. A total of 21,149 FMTVs and companion trailers were built under the FMTV A1R contract award.<ref name="IHS Jane's Land Warfare Platforms Logistics, Support & Unmanned 2015–2016 Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV)" />

In May 2006, Stewart & Stevenson was acquired by [[Armor Holdings]] Inc.<ref name="Armor to Buy Stewart & Stevenson for $1.1 Billion (Update5)">{{cite web |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=al6msgj3p.EY|title=Armor to Buy Stewart & Stevenson for $1.1 Billion (Update5)|publisher=Bloomberg.com|date=2006-02-27|access-date=2015-10-30}}</ref> In August 2007, Armor Holdings was acquired by [[BAE Systems]].<ref name="BAE to Acquire Armor Holdings for $4.53B">{{cite web |url=http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/bae-to-acquire-armor-holdings-for-453b-03278/|title=BAE to Acquire Armor Holdings for $4.53B|publisher=defenseindustrydaily.com|date=2007-05-09|access-date=2015-10-30}}</ref>

The United States Army had intended that two variants of the  [[Future Tactical Truck System]] (FTTS) would eventually replace virtually all of its tactical wheeled vehicle fleet, including the FMTV. The FTTS never materialized. However, along with inputs from other efforts, the FTTS continues to be used to define requirements for future United States Army trucks.<ref name="IHS Jane's Land Warfare Platforms Logistics, Support & Unmanned 2015–2016 Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV)" /> With the FTTS already faltering, BAE Systems was awarded a bridging contract in June 2008, for up to 10,000 FMTVs or trailers. The contract including an option for 10,000 additional vehicles, which was exercised.<ref name="USA Looks to Bridge FMTV Truck Orders Until 2011">{{cite web |url=http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/USA-Looks-to-Bridge-FMTV-Truck-Orders-Until-2009-2010-04924/|title=USA-Looks-to-Bridge-FMTV-Truck-Orders-Until-2009-2010|publisher=defenseindustrydaily.com|date=2010-05-11|access-date=2015-10-30}}</ref>

In May 2009, BAE Systems, [[Navistar]] Defense and [[Oshkosh Corporation|Oshkosh Defense]] each submitted proposals for the FMTV A1P2 competitive rebuy program to the U.S. Army's Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command ([[United States Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command|TACOM]]) Life Cycle Management Command. In August 2009, the United States Army announced that Oshkosh Defense had been awarded the FMTV A1P2 rebuy production contract. The award was protested by both BAE Systems and Navistar.<ref name="FMTV Contract Award And Protest Raises Industrial Policy Issues">{{cite web |url=http://www.cbsnews.com/news/fmtv-contract-award-and-protest-raises-industrial-policy-issues/|title=fmtv-contract-award-and-protest-raises-industrial-policy-issues|publisher=cbsnews.com|date=2009-12-21|access-date=2015-10-30}}</ref>

The FMTV A1P2 rebuy was awarded as a five-year 'build-to-print' requirements-type award, that at award, allowed the U.S. government to order from 0 up to 12,415 trucks and 10,926 trailers to 2014. Some FMTV variants were excluded from the rebuy competition. Those excluded include specialist FMTV variants such as [[HIMARS]], [[MIM-104 Patriot|Patriot]], [[Medium Extended Air Defense System|MEADS]] and LVAD, plus all the armored cabs developed by BAE Systems.<ref name="FMTV Janes April 2021 updates" />

In February 2012, all FMTV work with BAE Systems had concluded, minus a small number of armor B-kits. BAE Systems and legacy companies delivered around 74,000 FMTV trucks and trailers to the United States Army.<ref name="FMTV Janes April 2021 updates" />

In March 2012, U.S. budgetary projections suggested that due to funding constraints, the FMTV program would be terminated in [[Fiscal year|FY14]]. Under the FMTV contract, orders could be placed until December 2013, with first deliveries to commence within one year of that, with final deliveries one year later. In October 2016, the FMTV contract was extended from September 2016 to August 2019, allowing for the continued procurement of FMTV A1P2s. One day earlier, the U.S. Army solicited proposals for the FMTV A2 rebuy competition.<ref name="FMTV Janes April 2021 updates" />

In January 2017, Israel's Ministry of Defense ordered 200 FMTVs from Oshkosh, in a contract valued at $200 million. Deliveries were expected to start tin 2017 and conclude in mid-2018. The MoD noted that additional orders are likely.<ref name="Israel, Oshkosh Conclude $200 Million FMTV Buy">{{cite web |url=http://www.defensenews.com/articles/israel-oshkosh-conclude-200-million-fmtv-buy|title=Israel, Oshkosh Conclude $200 Million FMTV Buy|publisher=Defense News (Barbara Opall-Rome – author)|access-date=2017-01-17}}</ref> At this time Oshkosh confirmed that since deliveries started in 2010, the company had received orders for over 24,500 FMTV trucks and 11,400 FMTV trailers.<ref name="U.S. ARMY EXTENDS FMTV CONTRACT PRICING AND AWARDS OSHKOSH $260.1 MILLION ORDER">{{cite web|url=https://oshkoshdefense.com/news/u-s-army-extends-fmtv-contract-pricing-awards-oshkosh-260-1-million-order/|title=U.S. ARMY EXTENDS FMTV CONTRACT PRICING AND AWARDS OSHKOSH $260.1 MILLION ORDER|publisher=Oshkosh|date=2017-10-21|access-date=2017-11-03}}{{Dead link|date=April 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

On 21 September 2017,  the U.S. Army made an administrative modification to the FMTV A1P2 requirements contract with Oshkosh, to establish the eighth, ninth and tenth Order Years' pricing under the contract, at an estimated value of $466 million. This administrative modification authorizes future orders under the FMTV A1P2 contract to August 2019.

==Technical description and variants==
The 2.5-ton (4×4) FMTV is designated as the Light Medium Tactical Vehicle (LMTV). The 5-ton (6×6) is designated the Medium Tactical Vehicle (MTV).<ref name="FMTV Part 1" />

The FMTV is based on the Austrian [[Steyr-Daimler-Puch|Steyr]] [[Steyr 90 series#Steyr 92|12 M 18 (4×4) truck]], but has been localized to meet a minimum of 50% US content. The original 15 FMTV [[prototypes]] were assembled in [[Austria]]. Based on the 12 M 18 chassis-cab, they were fitted with a number of US-supplied/specification components, including a [[Caterpillar Inc.|Caterpillar]] [[Diesel fuel|diesel]] engine, [[Allison Transmission|Allison]] [[automatic transmission]] and [[Meritor]] drive axles.<ref name="IHS Jane's Land Warfare Platforms Logistics, Support & Unmanned 2015–2016 Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV)" /><ref name="FMTV Part 1">{{cite journal |first=Shaun |last=Connors |title=FMTV PT1|periodical=Military Machines International |publisher=Model Activity Press|location=[[Chesham]], England |page=16 |date=April 2007}}</ref>

In a move away from previous United States Army designs, a [[cab over engine]] (COE) design was selected for the FMTV, as while the US Army did not specify this configuration, given the [[Cold War]] situation prevailing at the time it had indicated that overall length for shipboard transport was a consideration.<ref name="FMTV Janes April 2021 updates" />

On a model-for-model basis the FMTV is around 3&nbsp;ft. shorter than its bonneted predecessors, while retaining a [[C-130 Hercules]] transport capability. Subject to load dimensions, all original FMTV variants are C-130 transportable at [[GVWR]], and all models capable of being transported underslung by helicopter are fitted with a sliding outrigger system. [[Low Altitude Parachute Extraction System]] (LAPES), later revised to Low-Velocity Air Drop (LVAD) variants of A0 production LMTV (M1081 cargo) and MTV (M1093 cargo and M1094 dump) variants were produced.<ref name="FMTV Janes April 2021 updates" />

The [[chassis]] and cab of the FMTV feature extensive [[corrosion]] protection.  It was the first truck to pass the United States Army's 22-year accelerated corrosion test.<ref name="IHS Jane's Land Warfare Platforms Logistics, Support & Unmanned 2015–2016 Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV)" /><ref name="FMTV Part 2">{{cite journal |first=Shaun |last=Connors |title=FMTV PT2|periodical=Military Machines International |publisher=Model Activity Press|location=[[Chesham]], England |page=18 |date=May 2007}}</ref>

The design of the FMTV has never remained static and to further increase reliability, user-friendliness, and operational flexibility, detailed refinements/upgrades have continued throughout FMTVs production run.<ref name="FMTV Part 1" />

The FMTV is built around a conventional bolted / [[Huck bolt|Huck-bolt]]ed,{{efn-lr|A [[Huck bolt]] is a fastener something between a [[bolt (fastener)|bolt]] and a [[rivet]]. They are installed cold, with a powered tool. The central pin of the fastener, is hardened steel, headed and threaded like a bolt. A collar taking the place of a 'nut' is unthreaded and slides over the pin. The insertion tool then grips the tail of the pin and forces a conical nozzle down over the collar, [[swage|swaging]] it into close contact with the thread. This gives a strong and vibration-proof fitting which can be stronger than either bolts or rivets of the same diameter.<ref >{{Cite web

}}</ref>}} cold-formed C-section [[chassis]], with bolted-in tubular cross-members. The high-grade 758 MPa steel used is sourced from [[Sweden]]. LMTV variants can be fitted with a DP-10J [[winch]] with an 11,000&nbsp;lb. line pull. MTV variants use a DP-515 [[winch]] with a 15,500&nbsp;lbs. line pull.<ref name="FMTV Part 2" />

Current production FMTV A1P2s are powered by a 2007 [[United States Environmental Protection Agency|Environmental Protection Agency]] (EPA) emissions-compliant 7.2-liter six-cylinder [[Caterpillar Inc.|Caterpillar]] C7 [[diesel engine]], producing 275 [[horsepower|hp]] and 860 Lb.-Ft. torque in LMTV variants and 330&nbsp;hp and 860 Lb-Ft.[[torque]] in MTV variants.<ref name="Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles FMTV literature" /><ref name="IHS Jane's Land Warfare Platforms Logistics, Support & Unmanned 2015–2016 Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV)" /> FMTV A1Rs have a 2004 [[United States Environmental Protection Agency|EPA]] emissions compliant version of the same engine with the same power output.<ref name="FMTV Part 2" />

FMTV A1 variants have an earlier 1998 [[United States Environmental Protection Agency|EPA]] emissions-compliant version of this engine, the 3126 ATAAC, which produced 275 [[horsepower|hp]] at 2,400 [[Revolutions per minute|rpm]] and 815 Lb.-Ft.torque at 1,600 [[Revolutions per minute|rpm]] in LMTV variants, and 330 [[horsepower|hp]] and 850 Lb.-Ft.[[torque]] in MTV variants. A 6.6-liter derivative of this engine, the 3116 ATAAC, was fitted to FMTV A0 models where it produced 225&nbsp;hp and 735 Lb.-Ft. torque in LMTV variants, and 290 [[Horsepower|hp]] at 2,600 rpm and 860 Lb.-Ft. torque in MTV variants.<ref name="FMTV Part 2" />

The Allison 3070 SP seven-speed transmission<ref name="Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles FMTV literature" /> fitted to A1P2 and A1R FMTVs evolved with the FMTV, its A1 designation being MD 3070 PT, its A0 designation being MD-D7. This has an integral single-speed transfer case. All-wheel drive is full-time, with a 30/70 percent front/rear torque split for on-road driving, and a 50/50 percent split for off-road driving.

All FMTV models are fitted with [[Meritor]] beam axles, with ratings and specifications evolving as the FMTV has developed. Suspension is by a combination of parabolic tapered leaf springs, inverted on the MTV rear bogie, shock absorbers, and an anti-roll bar for the rear axle/bogie.<ref name="FMTV Part 2" />

Two cargo trailers are part of the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV). The M1082 single-axle trailer is used with the LMTV cargo truck. The M1095 twin-axle trailer is used with the MTV cargo truck. Both trailers have payloads that match that of the towing truck, and they share many components, including axles, with the towing truck.<ref name="Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles FMTV literature" /><ref name="FMTV Part 1" />

==Armored cabs and fully armored derivatives==
Current and recent operational scenarios call for logistic trucks of the FMTV type to have at least the option of cab armoring. When it entered production, armoring was not considered an option for the FMTV.
The first protection solution for the FMTV was not in answer to such scenarios, but was developed by Stewart & Stevenson and [[O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt]] Armoring Company (OHE). Called the Crew Protected Cab, it was specifically for the HIMARS variant and offered flash and Foreign Object Debris (FOD) protection during launch. Designs followed for an Enhanced Crew Protected Cab, and later an Armor Protected Cab, each adding more ballistic capability against direct fire, artillery burst and mines.<ref name="FMTV Part 1" />

To meet emerging threats on deployed operations, in March 2004 DRS Technical Services was awarded a $16.3 million contract to provide 272 armor protection kits for the FMTV. 1,862 kits were produced. These kits were based around ballistic-protection panels installed on standard FMTV cabs.<ref name="FMTV RADIAN Armor Crew Kits (RACKs)">{{cite web |url=http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ground/fmtv-racks.htm|title=FMTV RADIAN Armor Crew Kits (RACKs)|publisher=globalsecurity.org|access-date=2015-11-19}}</ref>

In answer to demands for greater crew protection, [[BAE Systems]] developed the Low Signature Armored Cab (LSAC) for all variants of the FMTV. The LSAC replaced the standard FMTV cab, with which it shares internals, in a remove and replace operation.<ref name="FMTV Low Signature Armored Cab (LSAC)">{{cite web |url=http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ground/fmtv-lsac.htm|title=FMTV Low Signature Armored Cab (LSAC)|publisher=globalsecurity.org|access-date=2015-11-19}}</ref>

To meet the US Army's current Long Term Armor Strategy (LTAS) for armored cabs, BAE Systems developed the LTAS cab for the FMTV. BAE Systems produced over 9,000 LTAS cabs for the FMTV A1P2 variant. All Oshkosh FMTV vehicles include the company's own LTAS-compliant armor solution.<ref name="Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles FMTV literature" />

The LTAS is based around the A and B kit principles, allowing for vehicles to be armored as required, with the add-on applique package adaptable to prevailing threats and upgradeable as new armoring technologies emerge. The A-Kit, which includes a new cab, modifies the FMTV to allow the addition of armour. The B-Kit is the bulk of the armor itself.<ref name="Long-Term Armor Strategy (LTAS)">{{cite web |url=http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ground/ltas.htm|title=Long-Term Armor Strategy (LTAS)|publisher=globalsecurity.org|access-date=2015-11-19}}</ref>

The [[BAE Caiman|Caiman Mine Resistant Ambush Protected]] ([[MRAP]]) vehicle is based on the MTV A1R platform. The [[United States Marines]] placed an initial order with the then Armor Holdings for 1,170 Caiman in July 2007. 2,868 Caiman were ordered, with deliveries completed in November 2008. In winter 2010, BAE Systems unveiled the Caiman MultiTerrain Vehicle (MTV) at [[Association of the United States Army|AUSA]]. The Caiman MTV is a modified version of the base Caiman, that features a revised driveline, a new chassis and upgraded fully independent suspension.<ref name="IHS Jane's Land Warfare Platforms Logistics, Support & Unmanned 2015–2016 Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV)" />

BAE Systems received contracts to upgrade 2,071 (1,700 + 371) Caiman to Caiman MTV standard. These upgrades were completed in  Q1/Q2 2014. Post-Afghanistan, no Caiman MRAPs have been retained by U.S. armed forces. Some have been transferred to U.S. law enforcement agencies. Others have been offered as Excess Defense Articles (EDA) to Iraq, Jordan, Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).<ref name="IHS Jane's Land Warfare Platforms Logistics, Support & Unmanned 2015–2016 Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV)" />

In 2008, BAE Systems unveiled the Caiman Light (CLT), a five-man 4×4 version of the Caiman. To meet the Iraqi Light Armored Vehicle Requirement (ILAV), BAE Systems offered a fully armored LMTV on which the LSAC cab was extended rearwards, into a troop carrying body. Neither of these proposals entered production.<ref name="IHS Jane's Land Warfare Platforms Logistics, Support & Unmanned 2015–2016 Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV)" />

==Prototype and developmental FMTVs==
*Working with [[Multidrive]] an LMTV was integrated with a powered companion trailer to produce a [[C-130 Hercules]] transportable vehicle with a 15,000&nbsp;kg payload.
*The FMTV Hybrid Hydraulic Vehicle (HHV) was selected as the test platform for the development of a hybrid hydraulic propulsion system.
*The FMTV was selected as the platform to demonstrate that a 155&nbsp;mm [[M777 howitzer]] and prime mover could, for the first time, be deployed in the same [[C-130 Hercules|C-130]] aircraft.
*Stewart & Stevenson produced five [[Hybrid electric vehicle|hybrid electric]] FMTVs, each tailored for a specific application.
*Stewart & Stevenson developed an 11-ton FMTV A1 demonstrator to demonstrate the growth potential of the FMTV family and [[Command and control|C4ISR]] integration potential, via technology insertions, while retaining maximum commonality with the current FMTV fleet. A second vehicle with a tilt-type loadbed was also developed as part of the aborted [[Future Tactical Truck System]] (FTTS) requirement. A 13-ton demonstrator then followed.
*Stewart & Stevenson developed a 13-ton Medium Tactical Truck Demonstrator (MTTD) that incorporated many of the technologies and capabilities that the Army then envisioned for its future trucks.
*A number of 8×8 FMTVs have also been developed, these including examples for Australia's Land 121 (awarded to [[Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles]] (RMMV)), a 13-ton demonstrator with a load handling system, and a pair of chassis as part of the [[Future Tactical Truck System]] (FTTS) undertaking.
*[[Oshkosh Corporation]] unveiled the FMTV Enhanced Protection & Mobility Demonstrator (EPMD) during 2012. The FMTV EPMD is fitted with Oshkosh's [[Oshkosh TAK-4 Independent Suspension System|TAK-4]] independent suspension system and a custom-fitted Oshkosh Underbody Improvement Kit (UIK).<ref name="FMTV EPMD">{{cite web|url=http://oshkoshdefense.com/technology-1/fmtv-epmd/|title=FMTV EPMD|publisher=Oshkosh Defense|access-date=2015-11-20|archive-date=30 November 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151130072626/http://oshkoshdefense.com/technology-1/fmtv-epmd/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
* To help inform the U.S. Army's FMTV A2 acquisition strategy and performance upgrade requirements Nevada Automotive Test Center was awarded a contract in 2014 to manufacture and test two FMTV Technology Demonstrators. These are based on government-supplied M1157 A1P2 10-ton Dump chassis produced by Oshkosh, but upgraded by NATC. Testing concluded in February 2016.

==FMTV A2 requirement==
Early in 2014, the U.S. Army's Program Executive Officer for Combat Support and Combat Service Support (CS CSS) suggested that the Army would be seeking a new medium truck family in the mid-2020s.<ref name="Pentagon budget 2016: FMTV returns as army needs heavier payload support">{{cite web |url=https://janes.ihs.com/CustomPages/Janes/DisplayPage.aspx?DocType=News&ItemId=+++1735414&Pubabbrev=JDW|title=FMTV returns as army needs heavier payload support|publisher=IHS jane's|date=2015-02-02|access-date=2015-11-05}}</ref> In October 2016 the U.S. Army solicited proposals for the FMTV A2 rebuy competition.

The FMTV A2 request for proposals (RfP) stated the program would seek "to integrate higher capacity suspension, wheels, and tires; integrate underbody protection; increase engine power; integrate higher capacity alternator; integrate data bus upgrade; and integrate safety enhancements". The winner of the contract would be asked to integrate such upgrades; build the vehicles, trailers, and kits; and provide program, maintenance, and logistics support. According to the RfP, the FMTV A2 contract is expected to cover five ordering years with two additional one-year option periods for a potential total of 2,400 vehicles if all options are exercise.<ref name="US Army kicks off competition to upgrade workhorse FMTV trucks">{{cite web |url=https://janes.ihs.com/Janes/Display/1785865|title=US Army kicks off competition to upgrade workhorse FMTV trucks|publisher=IHS Jane's (Daniel Wasserbly – author)|access-date=2016-10-21}}</ref> 

In a subsequent statement, an Army spokesman said the RfP "includes an estimated quantity of approximately 2,400 new production vehicles. However, the actual quantities in any future award are undetermined and will depend on proposed pricing for this quantity, army requirements, and available funding."<ref name="US Army's new FMTV programme could grow beyond 2,400 platforms">{{cite web |url=https://janes.ihs.com/Janes/Display/1786419|title=US Army's new FMTV programme could grow beyond 2,400 platforms|publisher=IHS Jane's (Daniel Wasserbly – author)|access-date=2016-10-21}}</ref>

[[File:FMTV A2.jpg|thumb|Oshkosh will build A2 FMTVs.]]
In May 2017, Oshkosh submitted a proposal in response to the RfP for the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) A2 production effort.<ref name="OSHKOSH DEFENSE DELIVERS PROPOSAL FOR FMTV A2 PRODUCTION">{{cite web |url=https://oshkoshdefense.com/news/oshkosh-defense-delivers-proposal-for-fmtv-a2-production/|title=OSHKOSH DEFENSE DELIVERS PROPOSAL FOR FMTV A2 PRODUCTION|date=9 May 2017|publisher=Oshkosh Defense|access-date=2017-05-09}}</ref> At this point, the U.S. Army anticipated a contract award announcement in the second quarter of fiscal year 2018 and stated that the next generation FMTV A2 would comprise 16 models and three trailers.<ref name="OSHKOSH DEFENSE CELEBRATES DELIVERY OF 25,000TH FMTV TO U.S. ARMY" />

In February 2018, the Army selected Oshkosh to build to FMTV A2. The initial estimated contract value is $476.2 million, with no cap on the number of vehicles the Army may purchase. The firm fixed price contract covers a five-year ordering period, plus two additional one-year options. The estimated date of completion has previously been quoted as February 2022. Both Oshkosh and AM General submitted bids for the requirement.<ref name="Oshkosh lands Army's next-gen Medium Tactical Vehicles contract">{{cite web |url=https://www.defensenews.com/land/2018/02/08/army-chooses-oshkosh-to-build-next-gen-medium-tactical-vehicles/|title=Oshkosh lands Army's next-gen Medium Tactical Vehicles contract|date=8 February 2018|publisher=Defense News(Jen Judson – author)|access-date=2018-02-12}}</ref> 

Following the FMTV A2 award, Oshkosh initially built and delivered vehicles in support of Production Verification Testing (PVT), Live Fire Testing (LFT) and logistics development.<ref name="FMTV Janes April 2021 updates">{{cite web |url=https://customer.janes.com/LogisticsSupportUnmanned/Display/JMVL0786-JLSU|title=FMTV|publisher=Jane's|date=2012-04-01|access-date=2021-04-30}}</ref> In August 2021, it was announced by Oshkosh that the Army's Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) Life Cycle Management Command (LCMC) had awarded the company a $152 million delivery order for 541 FMTV A2.
