Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicles

Abstract

This program element aligns system development and demonstration of Heavy Tactical Vehicles (HTV) with Future Modular Force requirements to support combat and combat support missions. Missions include the following: line haul, local haul, and unit resupply. HTV 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 trucks, as part of the Army's Tactical Wheeled Vehicle Modernization Strategy. Funding in this Program Element (PE) supports the Family of Heavy Trucks to include Active Safety technologies, supports periodic evolutionary upgrade of survivability and crew protection for Heavy Tactical Vehicles as described in the Long Term Protection Strategy (LTPS), and supports Trailer Development. FY 2017 Project 659 funding in the amount of $.986 million will be used to begin program documentation and pre-Materiel Development Decision (MDD) efforts, as well as, perform requirements and trade analysis to feed into the Technology Development (TD) phase the Enhanced Heavy Equipment Transporter (EHET). FY 2017 Project E50 funding in the amount of $5.919 million will be used to start the requirements analysis process through the use of the Dynamic Object Orientated Requirements System (DOORS), as well as, perform a market survey and Whole Systems Trade Analysis (WSTA). The efforts are needed to meet a user approved requirement gap in the Heavy Tactical Trailer fleet as identified in the 25-ton Semi Trailer Low Bed (STLB) Capability Production Document (CPD) approved 10 July 2014. FY 2017 Project VR5 funding in the amount of $4.524 million will be used to support the solicitation preparation and rewriting of the Automotive Tank Purchase Description (ATPD) for the HDT. Funding will also be used to develop and test an MRAP-level armor underbody solution for the M915A5 fleet. Testing will include automotive and ballistic testing to achieve Full Materiel Release (FMR) for the armor kit.
