y Tank-automotive and Armaments Command Life Cycle Management Command (TACOM LCMC) for the application of a self-sealing product on more than 550 Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT) M978 A4 Tankers to help reduce the risk of fire during the transportation of fuel. The order, valued at more than $10 million, also includes field repair kits, which are in addition to the basic issue item kits delivered with every vehicle, for tank puncture repairs. Work will be completed by the end of fiscal year 2010.
The coating product seals tank punctures on the fuel-servicing truck that result from small-arms fire or fragments, providing a safer vehicle system for the crew. The Oshkosh HEMTT’s 13-ton payload and off-road capabilities make it the backbone for the U.S. Army’s logistics fleet. Since its introduction in 1985, the HEMTT has helped keep the Army on the move during major conflicts such as Operations Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom.
The HEMTT is a part of the Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicles (FHTV), which also includes the Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) and Palletized Load System (PLS). Oshkosh Defense has produced and delivered more than 30,000 HET, PLS and HEMTT vehicles under the FHTV contracts, and it was the first manufacturer to supply the Army with Long Term Armor Strategy (LTAS)-compliant cabs.
