Historical and technical information

The M1240 M-ATV is a modern armored vehicle designed by Oshkosh Defense to address the need for better soldier protection against mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) during operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. It has been used mainly by the US Army since 2009, during the so-called "asymmetric wars" period, and remains in service to this day. The M1240 is equipped with mine protection systems (MRAP), 4x4 drive, and modern armament and electronics. The variant with the O-GPK (Objective Gunner Protection Kit) turret allows the operator to defend effectively against attacks from any direction thanks to a panoramic field of fire. The vehicle has participated in combat operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as in NATO patrol missions in Eastern Europe.
