Oshkosh Defense to Unveil Advanced Autonomous Vehicle Family at AUSA 2025
Introduction of FMAV Platforms
Oshkosh Defense LLC, a subsidiary of Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE: OSK), will introduce its innovative Family of Multi-Mission Autonomous Vehicles (FMAV) at the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting & Exposition, taking place from October 13 to 15, 2025, in Hall B – Booth 1625.
As the U.S. Army hastens its modernization efforts, Oshkosh aims to demonstrate how the FMAV platforms align with critical objectives surrounding long-range precision strike capabilities, resilient formations, and adaptable autonomy. These solutions are designed to bolster operational readiness and capability enhancements for Soldiers in contested environments.
Showcasing Production-Ready FMAV Variants
At AUSA 2025, Oshkosh will exhibit three advanced variants from its FMAV lineup:
-
Extreme Multi-Mission Autonomous Vehicle (X-MAV):
The X-MAV is a specialized, autonomous launcher tailored for supporting long-range munitions. Its durable chassis accommodates significant payloads, boasts proven off-road mobility, and features integrated onboard power systems. It serves as the foundational platform for the Common Autonomous Multi-Domain Launcher Heavy (CAML-H) initiative aimed at enabling multi-domain operations. Notably, the X-MAV will be displayed for the first time with four Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles. -
Medium Multi-Mission Autonomous Vehicle (M-MAV):
Originating from the Oshkosh FMTV A2, the M-MAV addresses crucial challenges faced by the U.S. Army. Engineered for optionally manned or fully autonomous launch operations, it integrates advanced navigation and remote operational capabilities, along with automated resupply functions. This design enhances survivability, minimizes crew workload, and facilitates resilient, dispersed fire formations. The M-MAV will showcase the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) Family of Munitions (MFOM). -
Light Multi-Mission Autonomous Vehicle (L-MAV):
Evolved from the U.S. Marine Corps ROGUE-Fires program, the L-MAV is a validated, production-ready autonomous carrier. Its modular design allows for rapid mission reconfiguration, including applications such as counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS), electronic warfare, and resupply operations. The L-MAV will feature the AeroVironment Switchblade 600 Loitering Munition and Titan C-UAS technology.
Industry Insights from Oshkosh Leadership
“The Army has articulated a clear requirement for autonomous, payload-agnostic platforms that are operationally available today,” stated Pat Williams, Chief Programs Officer at Oshkosh Defense. “The FMAVs are constructed on established tactical vehicles, providing scalable autonomy and versatile payload options to meet the Army’s immediate needs while retaining the flexibility to adapt to evolving battlefield scenarios.”
Engagement Opportunities at AUSA
Oshkosh Defense leadership will be available to discuss a comprehensive portfolio that includes vehicle platforms, mobility systems, and next-generation technologies at AUSA 2025 in booth #1625. This presents an opportunity for defense professionals to gain insights into the capabilities and operational relevance of Oshkosh’s autonomous innovations.
Conclusion
The unveiling of the FMAV family marks a significant step in the integration of autonomous capabilities within military operations, enabling advanced tactical responses to contemporary challenges in warfare.
