Oshkosh Corporation Wins 2026 CES Picks Award from TWICE for its Collision Avoidance Mitigation System (CAMS)
Today at CES, Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE: OSK), a leading innovator of purpose-built vehicles, equipment and services, announced it was selected as a winner in this year’s CES Picks Awards. Oshkosh Corporation was recognized within the TWICE category for its Collision Avoidance Mitigation System (CAMS). The Picks Awards recognize and celebrate brands at the forefront of innovation, honoring standout products and creative solutions. Judged by industry experts, the awards spotlight the most exceptional new products showcased at CES.
CAMS is the first purpose-built technology to anticipate collisions for firefighters and others working on active roadways inches away from traffic. First introduced at CES 2025, Oshkosh field-tested this AI-powered solution with fire departments in large cities over the past year. The feedback has been powerful as responders welcome a tool that can provide another layer of awareness when working roadside. Oshkosh is now scaling this platform to support EMS crews at accident scenes, police officers managing traffic or responding to calls and tow truck operators assisting motorists. Future enhancements will include a mobile unit that can be set up on highways and dark shoulders upon arrival.
The system integrates advanced perception sensors, including radar fused with AI and computer vision, to detect, classify and track oncoming traffic with precision. It continuously evaluates speed, trajectory and proximity in relation to the parked emergency vehicle, issuing audible alerts when a collision risk emerges. Inside the cab, camera integration heightens driver situational awareness before they exit the vehicle and records continuous video for documentation, including accident reconstruction and insurance support.
Developed by Oshkosh’s Pratt Miller Motorsports business and tested on Pierce® fire apparatus, CAMS brings race-proven intelligence to emergency response and gives crews an added layer of situational awareness in environments where hazards can’t be eliminated — only mitigated. CAMS is more than a technological advancement; it is peace of mind.
“We created CAMS with a clear mission: to protect those who protect us. It’s the first technology of its kind in the fire industry and purpose-built for the risks firefighters and other responders face daily. CAMS utilizes AI to not only react to roadside hazards, but to help anticipate them,” said Jay Iyengar executive vice president, chief technology and strategic sourcing officer, Oshkosh Corporation. “The Oshkosh team is proud to be recognized with this prestigious honor as we continue to build on our innovative solutions to find new ways to support the work of everyday heroes.”
The awards’ editorial team shared, “The Picks Awards recognize outstanding products across consumer technology, the custom installation industry and innovative technology that can truly help businesses of all sizes across various industries. Our team was highly impressed by the excellence and scope of this year’s entrants. All the winners should be proud of their achievements – a well-deserved congratulations from the entire awards team.”
This marks the second consecutive year that Oshkosh received a CES Picks Award as it was recognized for its Hail-able Autonomous Refuse Robot – Electric or HARR-E™ in 2025. HARR-E is an autonomous, electric refuse collection robot that offers on-demand refuse and recycling pickup via a smartphone app or virtual at-home assistant.
In addition to the Picks Awards, Oshkosh was named a CES Innovation Awards 2026 Best of Innovation recipient in the Robotics and Travel & Tourism categories for the JLG® Boom Lift with Robotic End Effector and Oshkosh® Airport Products Striker® Volterra™ Electric Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting Vehicle, respectively. The company was also named a multiple CES Innovation Awards Honoree in the Construction and Industrial Tech category.
