Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) Engineering and Manufacturing Development Phase (EMD)

Abstract

The JLTV Family of Vehicles (FoV), to include a companion trailer, is a United States Army (USA) acquisition lead, joint program with the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC). The JLTV is capable of performing multiple mission roles and designed to provide protected, sustained, networked mobility for personnel and payloads across the full range of military operations. JLTV objectives include increased protection and performance over the current fleet; and, minimizing ownership costs by maximizing commonality, fuel efficiency, reliability, and maintaining effective competition throughout the life cycle. Commonality of components, maintenance procedures, training, etc., among vehicles is expected to be inherent in FoV solutions across mission variants to minimize total ownership cost. Unique service requirements have been minimized. The JLTV Trailer (JLTV-T) is the companion trailer to the JLTV and safely carries its payload while maintaining the same mobility characteristics of the prime mover. The trailer requirement as defined in the Capability Production Document (CPD), dated 21 November 2014 was validated on 7 June 2019 by the Army and required the JLTV and JLTV-T to be fielded as a system. On November 2019, Army Futures Command validated the JLTV-T Army Procurement Objective (APO) of 18,224. The Follow-on JLTV Contract is scheduled to be awarded in Q4 FY 2022. JLTV intends to competitively award the follow-on contract as a single award five year requirements contract with five one year options. This program element supports modernization of the JLTV FoV by investigating technology insertions including, but not limited to: condition based maintenance, vetronics, Victory Architecture, autonomous operations and other emerging technologies. This program element also supports developing initial prototypes to enable refinement of Operational Requirements and early user feedback to support future sustainment and operational movement operating concepts. The FY 2022 budget supports the development and continuation of engineering efforts including: Initiation of design, integration and testing for the Next Generation Powertrain which will consider parallel hybrid, series hybrid, and a full electric option; Cyber Scans to evaluate emerging threats and technologies; Integrated Tactical Network (ITN) rapid prototyping to support emerging characterization events; development and integration of Anti-Idle technology; and JLTV Utility Multipurpose Protected Shelter (JUMPS) to support emerging requirements such as Protected Ambulance, Protected Troop Transport, and Protected Command and Control.
