Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicles

Abstract

This program element aligns system development and demonstration of Heavy Tactical Vehicles (HTV) with Future 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, periodic evolutionary upgrade of survivability and crew protection as described in the Long Term Protection Strategy (LTPS), and heavy tactical trailer development. FY 2018 Project 659 Base funds in the amount of $0.900 million will be used to complete Enhanced Heavy Equipment Transporter (EHET) documentation and pre-Materiel Development Decision (pre-MDD) efforts, as well as, beginning pre-Milestone B efforts. FY2018 Project E50 Base funds in the amount of $3.850 million will be used to conduct Semi Trailer Low Bed (STLB) limited performance and reliability testing, Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB), and Systems Engineering Program Management (SEPM) support. FY 2018 Project VR5 Base funds in the amount of $5.757 million will be used to develop Heavy Dump Truck (HDT) armor; design, prototype and test axle, suspension and weapon station upgrades for the Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck A4 (HEMTTA4) and Palletized Load System A1 (PLSA1); convert the HEMTTA4/PLSA1 Underbody Armor Kit Technical Data Package (TDP) from Prototype-level to Production-level; and SEPM support.
