Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicles

Abstract

This program element aligns system development and demonstration of Heavy Tactical Vehicles with Future Modular Force requirements to support combat and combat support missions. These missions include the following: line haul, local haul, and unit resupply. These trucks transport water, ammunition, and general cargo over all terrain and throughout the battle-space. Funding will also be used for developing the Army's next generation of tactical truck, as part of the Army's Tactical Wheeled Vehicle Modernization Strategy. Funding in Project 65A is for the development of the Movement Tracking System (MTS). Funding in Project E50 supports the continued modernization of the Army's trailer fleets and supports the continuous product improvements, technology insertion, and new capabilities for tactical trailers. Funding in Project VR5 supports periodic, evolutionary upgrade of survivability and crew protection for Heavy Tactical Vehicles as described in the Long Term Protection Strategy.
