The PLS A2 is designed to boost soldier safety and increase situational awareness on the battlefield through advanced driver assistance and autonomous technologies. Its integration of by-wire and active-safety systems aligns with the Army’s goal of deploying a more resilient and technologically capable logistics force in high-risk environments.
Oshkosh emphasised the vehicle’s flexibility and readiness for future upgrades, allowing it to adapt to evolving threats and mission needs. “The PLS A2 exemplifies how Oshkosh Defense is harnessing next-generation autonomy to enable human-machine integration and enhance operational efficiency,” said Pat Williams, chief programs officer at Oshkosh Defense.
Williams also noted the company’s commitment to supporting the Army’s ongoing transformation strategy. “As the U.S. Army advances its ‘transformation in contact’ initiatives, we remain committed to engineering mission-critical solutions that deliver technologies that can be rapidly integrated within existing operational units,” he added.
Production of the PLS A2 is scheduled to begin this year, marking a key milestone in Oshkosh’s support of U.S. military modernisation. The broader FHTV V contract allows the company to continue delivering enhanced tactical vehicles and trailers that support the Army’s long-term strategic goals.
