LIGHT TACTICAL WHEELED VEHICLES

Abstract

The Army Ground Mobility Vehicle (GMV) provides enhanced tactical mobility for an Infantry Brigade Combat Team (IBCT) 9-Soldier infantry squad with their associated equipment to move quickly around the battlefield. This capability is required across the range of military operations facing IBCT units conducting crises response, initial entry, and selected decisive action missions. GMV deploys worldwide by sea, air, and land modes to support strategic deployment and operational maneuver in accordance with Army and Joint doctrine. This capability provides flexibility for entry operations (permissive and non-permissive) to counter threat anti-access strategies by using multiple austere entry points to bring in combined arms configured units. The Joint Light Tactical Vehicle - Reconnaissance Vehicle (JLTV-RV) was designated as the interim solution (2016 AROCM16-11.2) for the Light Reconnaissance Vehicle (LRV) to address a near term capability gap identified in the U.S. Army Combat Vehicle Modernization Strategy for the IBCT Cavalry Squadrons and Infantry Battalion Scout Platoons. This effort includes increased precision lethality through improved optics and a larger caliber weapon system to provide overmatch and counter threats as forces perform reconnaissance, surveillance and security operations.
