The Oshkosh M-ATV is a mine-resistant ambush protected vehicle that Oshkosh Corporation built for the MRAP All Terrain Vehicle program, a lighter and more mobile answer to the poor roads and rough terrain of Afghanistan. It was meant to replace the up-armored M1114 Humvee while giving protection close to that of the larger and heavier earlier MRAPs. More than 20 companies answered the 2008 market survey, five manufacturers had vehicles evaluated, and on 30 June 2009 the Department of Defense announced a single contract award to Oshkosh, with a first delivery order for 2,244 vehicles. The first 46 were delivered in July 2009, and in total 8,722 M-ATVs went to the Army, Marine Corps, Air Force and Special Operations Command, mainly as the M1240 with a manned turret and the M1277 with a remote weapon station.
