The and Arkansas Recovery iPhone application ()provide more effective, accessible, and transparent government. Arkansans can track projects in theircommunities and see how funds are being spent. “We believe the enhancements to the state`s Web site will helppeople and businesses to discover the wide range of government servicesavailable to them, so that they can more easily interact with the State.” Earlier this year, Arkansas released the nation`s first mobile and iPhoneversions to provide transparency for projects receiving funding through theAmerican Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The vehicle is based ona combat-proven chassis that has been successfully operating for years in themost difficult off-road missions in Afghanistan, Iraq and around the world. The Oshkosh M-ATV is delivered with the survivability, mobility, mission-provenand production-ready solutions required for Afghanistan. The advanced suspension system, which has undergone morethan 400,000 miles of government testing, is also featured on the U.S Army`sPalletized Load System (PLS A1) and the U.S Marine Corps` Logistics VehicleSystem Replacement (LVSR).

The TAK-4 system is the only readily available and theater-tested off-roadsuspension system used by the U.S military for this class of vehicle. Oshkoshrecently received a contract to equip more than 1,500 MRAPs with TAK-4suspension and continues to work with the military to evaluate using it onadditional MRAP models. The vehicle`s superior armor and survivability system was providedby Plasan North America, which contributed the armor for more than 5,000 MRAPsin theater. Our independent testing is helping usaccomplish that.” The testing has confirmed the vehicle`s exceptional off-road performance, whichis benefited by the integration of the Oshkosh TAK-4® independent suspensionsystem, and validated the durability of its entire integrated system.

Utilizingvehicle components and technologies that are already in combat, the OshkoshM-ATV is the most mission-proven option available to the U.S Armed Forces. Itis based on the combat-tested Oshkosh® Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement(MTVR) chassis and features the same C7 engine used on the U.S Army`s currentmedium fleet. “This is a significant milestone that showcases the durability and off-roadcapabilities of the Oshkosh M-ATV,” said Andy Hove, Oshkosh Corporationexecutive vice president and president, Defense “We are committed to providingthe U.S. Armed Forces with a high-performance vehicle that answers theurgent-need requirement in Afghanistan. Rigorous testing is part of the Oshkosh standardprocess to make certain its vehicles are ready to withstand the demandingenvironments in which they operate.
