LIGHT TACTICAL WHEELED VEHICLES

Abstract

Ground Mobility Vehicle (GMV) (formerly called the Ultra Light Combat Vehicle) provides enhanced tactical mobility for an Infantry Brigade Combat Team (IBCT) infantry squad of 9 personnel with their associated equipment to move quickly around the battlefield, including the ability to execute medium distance insertion operations using UH-60 aircraft, providing commanders greater freedom of movement and freedom of action. This capability provides flexibility for entry operations (permissive and non-permissive) to counter threat anti-access strategies by using multiple austere entry points via air-drop, air-land, and/or air-insertion to bring in combat configured units.
