Oshkosh Defense has announced it will be exhibiting its well-protected, highly mobile MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) and multirole SandCat vehicle at the Special Operations Forces Exhibition and Conference (SOFEX).

The lighter-weight M-ATV delivers protection capabilities equal to or greater than Mine-Resistant Ambush-Protected (MRAP) vehicles, and can accept add-on armor packages for additional protection from a multitude of threats.

The vehicle uses the Oshkosh TAK-4(r) independent suspension system to achieve a 70 percent off-road profile to overcome severe and uneven terrain.

The SandCat features a modular armor system that can be customized to meet the space, payload and protection needs of various missions.

"The M-ATV and SandCat are platforms that deliver world-class capabilities for special operations forces around the world," said Ron Ziebell, Oshkosh Defense vice president and general manager, International Programs.

"The M-ATV offers exceptional survivability and mobility for missions in extreme conditions. The SandCat is a lightweight and highly maneuverable vehicle for operations in urban and remote settings."
