Light Tactical Wheeled Vehicles
Abstract
The Army Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV), through enhanced tactical mobility, will motorize the Infantry Brigade Combat Teams (IBCT) and the 75th Ranger Regiment with their associated equipment to move quickly around the battlefield. This capability is required across the range of military operations conducting crisis response, initial entry, and selected decisive action missions. ISV 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 Class (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: predictive logistics, 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 2024 Ground Mobility Vehicles (GMV) budget activities in the amount of $9.671 million includes the development and testing of the Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV) Security Force Assistance Brigade (SFAB) vehicle configuration kits and the initiation of eLRV Middle Tier of Acquisition Rapid Prototyping (MTA-RP). Product Director Ground Mobility Vehicle (PD GMV) will award contract/agreements to up to four vendors to procure eLRV Prototypes, conduct developmental testing, and conduct a Soldier Touch Point. The eLRV program is pursing a Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) Rapid Prototyping (RP) pathway to compete solution. The Army's High Mobility Multipurpose Vehicle (HMMWV) is a lightweight, high performance four-wheel drive, air transportable and air droppable family of tactical vehicles. The vehicle comes armored and unarmored with several different configurations: Command and Control; Cargo/Shelter Carrier; Weapons Carrier and Ambulance and is capable of performing multiple mission roles for personnel and payloads across the full spectrum of military operations. A HMMWV Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) mitigates a gap in Large-Scale Combat Operations to employ semi-independent maneuver in a Multi-Domain Operational (MDO) environment. A HMMWV HEV will seek to improve and provide new capabilities such as silent mobility, extended silent watch, reduced fuel consumption, increased automotive performance, increased on-board vehicle power (Direct Current), available export power (Alternating Current), integrated charging, potential Vehicle-To-Grid (V2G) and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. HMMWV HEV funding supports the Army's Climate Strategy (Line of Effort 2.1) to modernize existing platforms by adding electrification technologies. FY2024 HMMWV HEV budget activities in the amount of $43.893 million will initiate design, development and testing for prototype HMMWV HEV solutions.
