COMMERCIAL STRENGTH. COMBAT PROVEN.
When you work with Oshkosh Defense, you gain the strength of one of America’s most proven industrial organizations behind every vehicle, every solution, and every commitment.
OUr STRENGTH
Oshkosh Defense is an Oshkosh Corporation business. As a Fortune 500, publicly traded industrial enterprise, Oshkosh Corporation has over a century of redefining innovation and delivering manufacturing excellence. That backing means access to enterprise-wide production capacity that can scale to meet urgent program demands, a resilient multi-sector supply chain built with redundancies that defense-only contractors simply cannot replicate, and sustained R&D investment that funds proprietary technologies independent of any single contract cycle.
Our FOCUS
Oshkosh Corporation brings scale, staying power, and deep technical strength. For Oshkosh Defense, that translates into something simple and meaningful: a partner you can rely on when it matters most.
We have supported the world’s most demanding customers for decades by doing the work, meeting the need, and standing behind every vehicle in the field. Every resource behind us is applied with focus and discipline, so the warfighter has the capability they need, when they need it, sustained across the life of the mission.
A GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL ADVANTAGE
Oshkosh Corporation operates a flexible manufacturing network purpose-built for instant wartime surge — 31 facilities spanning 8 U.S. states and 7 countries, staffed by 18,500 global team members, and generating $10.7B in annual revenue. That is not the footprint of a defense contractor. That is the footprint of an industrial engine. And because 80% of that engine runs on commercial volume, defense customers inherit a scale, stability, and supplier network they could never fund alone.
BACKED BY A CENTURY OF INDUSTRIAL EXCELLENCE
When you work with Oshkosh Defense, you are not working with a defense-only company whose survival depends entirely on shifting government budgets. You are working with a subsidiary of one of America’s most durable industrial corporations, a company that has manufactured mission-critical equipment across multiple sectors for over 100 years.
That corporate depth translates directly into program stability, financial accountability, and the kind of long-term commitment that defense customers require.
WE DON'T WAIT FOR TALENT. WE BUILD IT.
Our 18,500 team members are continuously active on commercial volume, keeping skills sharp, production lines moving, and surge capability always within reach.
11,800 production team members, including 2,000+ welders and fabricators. Our internal welding and assembly academies produce hundreds of qualified tradespeople every year, so when a surge is required, we don't scramble to hire. We execute.
1,900+ engineers across the enterprise, with 400+ dedicated to advanced technologies including autonomy, software, and electrification. Our bench isn't built for one program, it is sustained by the full breadth of Oshkosh Corporation's commercial and defense portfolio.
Our engineering team includes Pratt Miller, motorsports-grade integrators who move from need identified to first article in weeks, not years. Speed of relevance isn't a slogan. It's a track record.
Oshkosh has a proven record of 10x wartime production ramps, backed by surge playbooks and pre-negotiated long-lead strategies. When the mission changes, our workforce doesn't need to catch up, it's already there.
FLEXIBILITY MEETS INNOVATION
The next fight will require the speed and scale of America’s commercial industrial base. Oshkosh delivers exactly that—a global industrial engine that brings commercial innovation, supply-chain strength, and proven ground-mobility integration to the warfighter.
A defense program is only as reliable as the supply chain behind it. Oshkosh Corporation’s multi-sector commercial operations have built supplier relationships and logistics redundancies that extend far beyond what a defense-only business requires.
Oshkosh Corporation’s enterprise R&D investment funds proprietary technologies— and those innovations flow directly to the warfighter. From independent suspension systems to autonomous vehicle solutions and integrated diagnostics, defense customers benefit from engineering programs sustained by commercial industries.
COMMERCIAL STRENGTH. DEFENSE PRECISION.
Oshkosh Defense combines the engineering depth of a global industrial enterprise with the focus and discipline of defense experts. We’re ready for the call.
