Immersing soldiers in a lifelike, secure virtual realm, the Oshkosh Virtual Task Trainer (VTT) redefines training by offering preparation for executing real maintenance tasks. This virtual training element enhances both safety and cost-effectiveness within the broader vehicle training program.

In collaboration with our esteemed partner, Doron Precision Systems, Oshkosh Defense has developed a cutting-edge JLTV Driving Simulator.
