Medium Tactical Vehicles

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) supports continued modernization of the Army's medium truck and trailer fleet and the Armored Security Vehicle (ASV). In the medium fleet, the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) replaces aging M35 2 1/2-ton trucks and M809 and M900 Series 5-ton trucks that are beyond their economic useful life of 15-20 years. FMTV fills 2 1/2-ton Light Medium Tactical Vehicle (LMTV) and 5-ton truck Medium Tactical Vehicle (MTV) truck requirements and includes companion trailers. FMTV trucks perform over 55 percent of the Army's local and line haul, and unit resupply missions, and operates throughout theater as multi-purpose transportation vehicles in combat, combat support, and combat service support units. The ASV is an all-wheel drive armored vehicle that provides ballistic protection, overhead protection, and protection against landmines. It is used by the Military Police to perform missions of area security, maneuver, and mobility support. This PE funds government technical insertion initiatives that will support a competitive solicitation for a new production contract to be awarded in FY17 that includes integration of selected capability improvements to the FMTV. The selected improvements also support increased power generation to meet the needs of a growing number of C4ISR, Counter-IED, and other Mission Equipment Packages as well as provide the capability to increase vehicle safety and reduce soldier injuries. This will support the Integration, Test and Evaluation, and Logistics Development for these improvements.
