Oshkosh Defense LLC, a subsidiary of Oshkosh Corporation [NYSE: OSK], is showcasing its groundbreaking autonomous technologies at the highly anticipated Association of the United States Army’s Global Force Symposium, taking place in Huntsville, Alabama, from March 25 to 27, 2025. Positioned at Booth #903, Oshkosh Defense presents the Remotely Operated Ground Unit for Expeditionary Fires (ROGUE-Fires), demonstrating an innovative blend of flexibility, autonomy, and advanced warfare capabilities. This year’s exhibit is particularly notable as it features ROGUE-Fires integrated with the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) Family of Munitions (MFOM) for the first time, emphasizing the platform’s payload-agnostic design and highlighting its transformative potential for surface-to-surface combat scenarios.
At the heart of ROGUE-Fires is its versatile and modular engineering, designed to accommodate various mission-critical payloads ranging from long-range precision strike capabilities to autonomous resupply and logistical operations. Built upon Oshkosh’s trusted Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) platform, ROGUE-Fires also incorporates a powertrain adaptable to hybrid-electric configurations. This innovative hybrid approach enables silent drive and silent watch capabilities, significantly improving stealth operations, fuel efficiency, and the availability of exportable power—critical advantages on contemporary and future battlefields.
Pat Williams, Chief Programs Officer at Oshkosh Defense, underscored the strategic implications of this innovation, stating, “At AUSA Global Force, we are excited to showcase ROGUE-Fires with MFOM, highlighting its potential to deliver cutting-edge, technologically advanced surface-to-surface fires.” Williams emphasized Oshkosh’s commitment to scalable solutions designed to support the U.S. Army’s transformation vision towards the Army of 2030, a future where seamless human-machine collaboration in multi-domain operations becomes essential for mission success and operational superiority.
Beyond ROGUE-Fires, Oshkosh Defense’s exhibit includes a broader range of autonomy-ready tactical platforms, such as the FMTV A2 launcher and Palletized Load System (PLS) A2, each equipped with advanced drive-by-wire architectures. These innovations enable incremental modernization, significantly enhancing soldier safety and effectiveness in diverse and rapidly changing combat environments. As global threats become more sophisticated, Oshkosh continues to develop platforms that offer flexibility and adaptability, ensuring U.S. forces remain agile, responsive, and strategically dominant.
Oshkosh Defense leadership and experts will be available throughout the symposium at Booth #903 to discuss the full range of the company’s advanced tactical vehicle solutions, next-generation mobility systems, and technological advancements driving the future of military logistics, autonomous operations, and battlefield supremacy.
