Joint Light Tactical Vehicle - ED

Abstract

Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTV): Funding supports the development and testing of the JLTV Family of Vehicles (FoV), which is being developed as a joint system between the Army and Marine Corps. International participation will be offered during this phase. The JLTV goal is a FoV with companion trailers capable of performing multiple mission roles that will be designed to provide protected, sustained, networked mobility for personnel and payloads across the full Range of Military Operations (RoMO). JLTV objectives include increased protection and performance over the current fleet; minimizing ownership costs by maximizing commonality, fuel efficiency and other means; and maintaining effective competition throughout the lifecycle. Commonality of components, maintenance procedures, training, etc., between vehicles and trailers is expected to be inherent in FoV solutions within and across sub-configurations to minimize FoV total ownership cost. Unique service requirements have been minimized. This is a continuation of the JLTV program which was initiated for the Technology Development Phase. In FY 2013, major budget activities support three Engineering and Manufacturing Development contracts; completion of EMD prototype fabrication, delivery of the prototypes, ballistic cab and chassis testing, vendor shakedown testing, Government Test Readiness Review, and initiation of Government performance, Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM), and ballistic testing and program management support. FY 2013 funding increased from President's Budget (PB) 12, $53.254 million to $72.295 million as a result of the program revising the acquisition strategy.
