From Oshkosh, thank you so much for joining us today

Yeah, thanks for having me. The rumor has it it is your one-year anniversary with Oshkosh

It's been a great year. And you started last year at AUSA

My first day. That is fantastic. Yeah, I was out there talking about products I had just met

Well, look at you now. It's been a good year. What an incredible year

We've had a really good year. You've got a lot of stuff going on with the show, don't you? We do. We do. It's busy

Tell me about the big deal. The DXPV? The DXPV. Well, we're really proud of it. We recently loaded the prototype vehicle

We expect that to come off the line, be ready for a customer, ready for a test around Q1

But it represents the beginning of a long partnership with the Dutch

We've done a number of things with the Dutch. They're a great partner of ours

And this is just the next iteration of our light vehicle family that started with JLTV

When it started with JLTV, how did you get from there to here

Well, we were the ones who started it. So we produced around 24,000 JLTV over the course of the past many years

That story actually started back in the MATV days. We had started investing in key enabling technologies around 2008

We matured it, and we've driven it not just into production, but we've continued to modernize it over the course of time

And that's what led us to the partnership with the Dutch. That is really cool

So you featuring your family of medium tactical vehicle A2 low velocity airdrop That a lot of words How can people better understand what that actually does Well low velocity airdrop means you push it out of a C

and hopefully it's low velocity so it can land and you can assemble it. The cab drops down

But what it represents is the fact that customers are using our products much differently than they used to

So it's all about mobility and integrations that go on the back end

And that medium-sized vehicle is what we're seeing as a really nice sweet spot in the market

So the low-velocity airdrop means that they want to push it out to the tactical edge

and get it where it's needed most because it is a big carrier for key integrations on the battle space

It sounds like it. So five years from now, how will a soldier be using this new vehicle

Well, it's similar to all of our vehicles. What we always talk about is that the ground vehicle segment's been pretty quiet over the past number of years

And you mentioned my one-year anniversary. One of the things I was very excited about is watching the growth in integrations that go on and depend on our vehicles

So what does that mean? It means if you look at Counter UAS, the growth in that market has been spectacular

Directed energy, spectacular. But every one of those solutions requires mobility underneath of it

So the way they'll use it in the next five years is all around, we need a dependable quick and easy mobility chassis that we can integrate the next best thing on top of And that where we going Interesting I curious what the next iteration or add will be because there sounds like there

a lot of functionality, a lot of room to grow. A lot of room to grow

That's how we build our platforms is to continue to stay fresh. One of the most popular things has been exportable power

So the other thing we're showcasing in our booth, we'd love it if you stopped by, is the hybrid version or the eJLTV

And that platform is all about exportable power and the integrations on the back end it provides

all the way up to 115 kilowatts, which is a massive amount of power on the battlefield

Wow. Now, how is that different from the DXPV? Well, it shares the same bones

So, again, the DXPV is a derivative of JLTV. The JLTV, as an Oshkosh original design, has been something we've matured and modernized

And the DXPV is one version of it for one customer. And the eJLTV, we think, is going to be the same type of chassis underneath of a variety of new customer integrations

That is really cool. You should stop by. I would love to

What else is going on in Oshkosh? Well, one of the things people don't really think of when they think of Oshkosh, and this

is something we're doing differently at this show, is we're telling a much bigger story

So Oshkosh about billion 18 employees and we about 90 non So if you look at what makes our company unique we have a number of clock speeds in the company

We're not just defense. We have a race car team that spends week by week

throughout the course of a season racing, collecting data, driving iteration, and winning

We have factories that produce two of something all the way up to 100 of something a day

We have routes at national scale. So the United States Postal Service, we have refuse customers, we have fire and rescue

These fleets have to be supported, and it's all about readiness and uptime

So if you take all of these together, that's what we call the battlefield clock

And so Oshkosh has been delivering this for many years to customers, but we haven't been good about telling our story, and that's what's different in our booth this year

It's the whole Oshkosh we're bringing to bear. When you bring that wholeness, what do you want people to take away so that they recognize that 10% and not just focus on the other 90

Well, I think when you walk around the show, there's a lot of companies who have heard the message from the department that we need you to act more commercially

And the thing I'd point to is that there is a lot of acting, but the difference is we don't have to act

We are. We're 90% non-defense, and that is a competitive advantage. We can be the company we actually are

It is so wonderful to meet you. Congratulations on your anniversary, Chief Growth Officer

Good to meet you. Pleasure to talk with you today. Can't wait to see everything that you've brought to AUSA this year

Thanks for having me. Thank you so much for joining us
