Light Tactical Wheeled Vehicles

Abstract

The Army Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV), through enhanced tactical mobility, will motorize the Infantry Brigade Combat Teams (IBCT), Security Forces Assistance Brigade (SFAB), 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. The electric Infantry Squad Vehicle (eISV) will leverage the Automotive Industry's push into electrification to realize Class III (CL III) and CL IX demand reduction by incorporating COTS and mCOTS battery electric drive systems into a highly mobile, light weight tactical vehicle that provides seating for four soldiers and their associated equipment for a 72-hour mission. The eISV platform, through electrification, will provide commanders a substantial competitive advantage in Multi-Domain Operations (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. 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 2025 Ground Mobility Vehicles (GMV) budget activities in the amount of $10.274 million includes eLRV pursuit of 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, contractor management support, data, and government management support. 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) introduces fuel demand reduction capability through HEV propulsion and helps mitigate 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 that give commanders advantages to enhance maneuver operations such as onboard power, export power, silent watch, and potentially silent mobility. FY2025 HMMWV HEV budget activities in the amount of $89.802 million will design, develop and test prototype HMMWV HEV solutions.
