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). The Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) fills 2 1/2-ton Light Medium Tactical Vehicle (LMTV) and 5-ton Medium Tactical Vehicle (MTV) truck requirements and associated companion trailers. FMTV trucks perform over 55 percent of the Army's local haul, line haul, and unit resupply missions. It 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. Funding from this Program Element will be used to support the continued evolution of the future FMTV fleet as well as tech insertion opportunities to keep the current FMTV fleet relevant on today's battlefield. This includes upgrades in survivability and crew protection, improved safety by leveraging advancements in commercial active safety technologies, modernizing the aging Low Velocity Air Drop (LVAD) fleet of vehicles, improved utilization through modularity, integration of advanced high efficiency powertrains and fuel saving technologies, and insertion of autonomous vehicle capabilities that will change the way transportation missions are conducted around the world. FY 2019 Project H07 Base funds in the amount of $3.704 million will be used to conduct Live Fire Testing of the FMTVA2 truck and the FMTVA1P2 Underbody Armor Kit, as well as design and build an FMTV LVAD technical demonstrator.
