Oshkosh Defense Palletized Load System (PLS) A2

The advanced driver assistance and autonomy-ready technologies of the PLS A2 promote significant improvements to Soldier safety and broadens battlefield awareness. By integrating by-wire and active-safety systems, the PLS A2 supports the Army’s vision for a technology-enabled logistics force capable of executing missions in contested environments with reduced risk to the Warfighter. The flexible architecture of the heavy fleet allows significant room for growth and the integration of new technology to support unit innovation as both threats and requirements evolve.

“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. “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.”

Production launch of the PLS A2 occurs this year. The FHTV V contract enables Oshkosh to deliver future-focused enhancements to heavy tactical vehicles and trailers that support the Army’s broader modernization strategy.
