Command Zone is Oshkosh's computer controlled,
multiplexed electronics system that operates and diagnoses
all major vehicle systems. The backbone of the Command
Zone information system is a multiplexing technology
that allows vehicle components to work together.
The engineers of Oshkosh hardened the technology
and have begun to apply it to benefit military operations:
Improved local diagnostics allow the operator to access
vital vehicle information via laptop, on-board display
screens or hand-held personal digital device to repair
or troubleshoot the vehicle.
Real-time performance feedback, or health and usage
monitoring, including vehicle speed, engine RPM, braking,
accelerometer ratings and more.
Enhanced remote diagnostics improve the military's
"reach back" readiness, allowing expert technicians
to perform vehicle diagnostics long-distance, using
modem, satellite or radio telecommunications technology.
Envelope control to keep systems operating within established
safety parameters
Automatic electrical power management.
Oshkosh first introduced this truck technology in 1999,
and due to its success in the demanding fire service
applications, expanded its use into military and other
commercial trucks. Oshkosh has already fielded more
than 1500 trucks equipped with Command Zone electronics.
