History and Application of the M1240 M-ATV Vehicle

The M1240 M-ATV (MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle) was developed by Oshkosh Defense in response to the need of the US Army for a vehicle providing high protection against mines and explosive devices while maintaining mobility in difficult terrain. Production began in 2009, and these vehicles were quickly deployed to Afghanistan and other combat zones. The M1240, equipped with the remote-controlled M153 CROWS II weapon station, offers operators significantly increased safety and combat capability without exposing them to direct danger. In addition to the USA, other NATO countries also use these vehicles.
