Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicles
Abstract
This Program Element (PE) aligns system development and demonstration of Heavy Tactical Vehicles (HTV) with Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) requirements to support combat and combat support missions to include line haul, local haul, and unit resupply. HTV trucks transport water, ammunition, and general cargo over all terrains and throughout the battle-space. Systems include the Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT), Palletized Load System (PLS), Heavy Equipment Transporter System (HETS), Enhanced Heavy Equipment Transporter System (EHETS), Line Haul, Heavy Dump Truck (HDT), medium tactical trailers including the Medium Equipment Trailer (MET), the family of flatbed semitrailers to include but not limited to the 40-Ton M870, 34-Ton M872 and the 25-Ton M172 that support multiple Army missions and the development and demonstration of enablers. Recovery systems such as the Modular Catastrophic Recovery System (MCRS) and other heavy wreckers, that rescue large wheeled vehicle platforms in severe off-road conditions are also included. Periodic evolutionary upgrade of survivability and crew protection as described in the Long Term Protection Strategy (LTPS) is supported by this PE for both the HTV family of vehicles and the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV). Artic and other climate change efforts are also supported by this PE. The Common Tactical Truck (CTT) is the next generation of tactical trucks to meet the Army's Tactical Wheeled Vehicle (TWV) Modernization Strategy to take full advantage of economies of scale and commonality with the objective to procure a commercial based Family of Vehicles to replace HEMTT, PLS and Line Haul tractors and leverage best commercial practices at lower procurement costs that are autonomy ready. CTT Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $60.000 million RDT&E from FY23 to FY26. The remainder of the CTT Program is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program. The Leader Follower (LF) funding line supports the Autonomous Transport Vehicle-System (ATV-S) effort that equips Tactical Wheeled Vehicles with autonomous behaviors. Additionally, the capability gives convoy commanders flexibility to leverage the six levels of automated driving that range from Level 0 (Fully Manual) to Level 5 (Fully Autonomous), and any combination therein to conduct convoy operations. Autonomous driving behaviors enables increased operational efficiency of tactical wheeled vehicles resulting in an increase of sustainment throughput while reducing Soldier exposure to hostile threats. Funding also supports modernization of the current Tactical Wheeled Vehicle fleets by investigating technology insertions including, but not limited to: Predictive Logistics, vetronics, transportability of tactical wheeled vehicle equipment, vehicle electrification, fully autonomous operations, and other emerging technologies. Funding also supports developing initial prototypes to enable refinement of Operational Requirements and early user feedback to support future sustainment and operational movement operating concepts. In accordance with Section 1815 of the FY 2008 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 110-181), this item is necessary for use by the active and reserve components of the Armed Forces for homeland defense missions, domestic emergency responses, and providing military support to civil authorities.
