From yesterday's DoD contract announcements:

Oshkosh Defense was awarded a $243,767,232 modification (P00004) to contract W56HZV-15-C-0095 for 657 Joint Light Tactical Vehicles; 25 trailers; 2,977 kits; 12 months of system engineering and program management; test support; 175-test hardware; and one technical data package. Work will be performed in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, with an estimated completion date of Dec. 1, 2024. Fiscal 2016 research, development, testing, and evaluation; other procurement (Army); and other procurement funds in the amount of $243,767,232 were obligated at the time of the award. Army Contracting Command, Warren, Michigan, is the contracting activity.

Looks like the vehicle is on the way after some legal wranglings. Hell, as screwy as the procurement system is nowadays, I never thought DoD would actually get this done. Anyone actually seen any of the prototypes up close?
