Oshkosh Highlights C4 and Systems Integration Capabilities in the Mideast

As the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), Oshkosh Defense simultaneously addresses the vehicle design and technology integration aspects through a streamlined C4 integration approach. This “first-pass” approach delivers an optimized vehicle that brings the network to the mission. When carried out by a third-party integrator, the C4 integration process often includes disassembling the vehicle, integrating the equipment via a trial-and-error approach, and reassembly. This introduces unnecessary risk, cost and delay to vehicle development and delivery. Oshkosh’s holistic approach and complete assembly line integration avoids these issues.
Concurrent vehicle design and integration can also accelerate vehicle fielding. Oshkosh responded to the urgent need for MRAP All-Terrain Vehicles (M-ATV) in 2009 by delivering the vehicles pre-wired for C4 equipment. This enabled the U.S. military to more quickly integrate and field Oshkosh-produced M-ATVs, reaching a rate of more than 1,000 vehicles per month during peak production.
The company also will be demonstrating its full range of vehicle life-cycle sustainment and support services at the show. Oshkosh executives will be on hand to discuss the company’s streamlined integration process and vehicle life-cycle management capabilities at booth #1527.
