Light Tactical Wheeled Vehicles

Abstract

The Army Ground Mobility Vehicle (GMV) provides Infantry Battalions with motorized expeditionary mobility platforms to provide needed operational mobility for the infantry squad with their associated equipment to move quickly around the battlefield. This capability is required across the range of military operations facing Infantry Brigade Combat Team (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 electric Light Reconnaissance Vehicle (eLRV) platform through electrification will provide commanders a substantial competitive advantage in the Multi-Domain Operational (MDO) Environment against threat capabilities through reduction in acoustic and thermal signature, silent mobility, increased dash speed, extended range, increased reliability and reduction in CL III requirements. These attributes will enhance lethality and survivability of the mounted reconnaissance squad, platoon and troop. Funding supports modernization of the current Tactical Wheeled Vehicle fleets by investigating technology insertions including, but not limited to: condition based maintenance, vetronics, Victory Architecture, 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. FY 2022 GMV budget activities in the amount of $2.055 million includes the continuation of ISV performance, operational, and qualification testing. PL GMV will investigate and analyze current industry capabilities for electrification of tactical vehicles and recharging of electric vehicles via market research and industry engagements to inform the eLRV. Product Lead Ground Mobility Vehicle ( PL GMV) will procure eLRV Prototypes, conduct developmental testing, and conduct Soldier touch points.
