The Oshkosh
Multi-Mission Recovery System or MMRS was developed as a private
venture. This machine has exceptional capabilities. It seems that as of 2014
only a demonstrator exists. There were no production orders on this
vehicle.
This heavy
recovery vehicle is based on the
Oshkosh LVSR 10x10 heavy high mobility truck. These truck are in
service with the US Marine Corps. The US marines operate the MKR15
wrecker. It is also based on 10x10 LVSR, but has a less capable
material handling crane and some other differences.
The main
role of this machine is recovery of damaged, immobilized, swamped,
stuck, or overturned vehicles. The MMRS can recover mine resistant
ambush protected vehicles, largest tactical wheeled vehicles and
tracked combat vehicles with a maximum weight of about 45 000 kg.
The MMRS can also provide maintenance service and tow them to
assembly points or maintenance units.
This machine is fitted
with a 3-section boom, that extends to 12.5 m. It is mounted on
rotating platform and rotates through 360 degrees. It can lift 34 000 kg
at 4 m radius from the vehicle. Maximum lifting capability is over
45 000 kg. At a maximum reach the boom has a lifting capacity of 7.7
t. There are two boom recovery winches. The crane can be used for
recovery operations, as well as other load handling tasks. It can be operated externally of from within the
armored cab.
There are
two main winches. Each with 18 000 kg capacity. Winches can be also
operated externally or from within the cab. There are
four outriggers and one large rear spade to stabilize the
vehicle during craning and winching operations.
On hard
surface roads the Oshkosh MMRS can tow vehicles with a maximum weight of 47
600 kg. Vehicle is fitted with rigid or non-rigid hitches. Damaged
or uncontrolled vehicles are towed in suspended semi-lifted
position. Vehicles are towed to the nearest shelters, assembly
points of repair depots.
This heavy
recovery vehicle
is operated by a crew of two. The cab is fitted with an integrated
armor protection and energy-absorbing seats. It provides protection
from small arms fire and mine blasts. Add-on armor kit can be fitted
for a higher level of protection.
A
demonstrator vehicle was fitted with a shielded machine gun mount.
It can be fitted with 12.7-mm machine gun or 40-mm automatic grenade
launcher for self-defense.
This heavy
recovery vehicle has good cross-county mobility over any terrain due
to its 10x10 configuration with all-wheel drive and powerful engine.
The MMRS is powered by a Caterpillar C15 15.2-liter turbocharged
diesel engine, developing 600 hp. The same engine is used across the
range of Oshkosh LVSR vehicles. It is mated to Allison 7-speed
automatic transmission. This vehicle shares a
number of automotive components with the
Oshkosh MTVR heavy utility truck, that is used by US Marine
Corps. In order to reduce turning radius the MMRS has a four-axle steering
on 1, 2, 4 and 5 axle. Vehicle is fitted with a
central tyre inflation system. Without preparation it
can ford water obstacles up to 1.5 m deep.
The Oshkosh
MMRS can be airlifted by
C-17 Globemaster III
or
C-5A Galaxy aircraft.
