Plasan North America (PNA), a manufacturer of advanced survivability solutions and a subsidiary of Israel’s Plasan, has announced its selection as a subcontractor for the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle A2 (JLTV) program by AM General. The subcontract award is valued at $300 million over five years and includes supplying the major subcomponents of the armored vehicle.
“We are honored to be selected as a subcontractor for the JLTV A2 program by AM General,” said COL (Ret.) John Cavedo, president of Plasan North America. “This partnership recognizes our long-standing dedication to the success of the program and our unwavering commitment to supporting our armed forces. We are proud to build on our legacy and expand our involvement with the JLTV A2, create new job opportunities for West Michigan, and contribute to the growth of our local community.”
Plasan North America has already been supplying smaller subcomponents for the cab to Oshkosh Defense during the last seven years, when the latter was under contract to build the first JLTVs.
AM General unseated Oshkosh Defense in the U.S. Army’s competition to build more of the vehicles, winning a contract valued at $8.66 billion in February 2023. Oshkosh protested the decision with the Government Accountability Office, but the office rejected that protest in June, allowing AM General to set up production lines and make arrangements with subcontractors.
AM General’s contract covers five base years plus five one-year optional ordering periods to provide 20,682 JLTVs and 9,833 trailers for the U.S. military and foreign customers.
