Medium Tactical Vehicles
Abstract
This Program Element (PE) supports continued modernization of the Army's medium Tactical Wheeled Vehicle fleets by investigating technology insertions including, but not limited to: condition based maintenance, vetronics, Victory Architecture, autonomous operations and other emerging technologies. Furthermore, the PE supports developing initial prototypes to enable refinement of Operational Requirements and early user feedback to support future sustainment and operational movement operating concepts. The Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) includes Cargo, Tractor, Load Handling System (LHS), Wrecker, Expandible Van, Shop Van, and Dump variants with payloads ranging from 2 1/2-tons to 10-tons 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. 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 2020 Project H07 Base funds in the amount of $2.152 million will be used to conduct Operational Testing of the FMTVA2 truck and design and development of an LVAD Technical Demonstrator.
