Joint Light Tactical Veh (JLTV) Sys Dev & Dem

Abstract

This is a Commandant of the Marine Corps Force Design program. Funding supports the JLTV Family of Vehicles (FoV) to include the development and testing of Command, Control, Communications, Computers, & Intelligence (C4I) for integration with the JLTV. JLTV is a joint program between the U.S. Army and the U.S. Marine Corps, of which the U.S. Army is the lead service. The JLTV FoV is capable of performing multiple mission roles designed to provide protected, sustained, and networked mobility for personnel and payloads across the full Range of Military Operations (ROMO). JLTV features include increased performance, protection, and payload over the current legacy HMMWV fleet, reducing ownership costs by maximizing commonality, fuel efficiency and reliability. The commonality of components, maintenance procedures, training, etc, among vehicles are inherent in FoV solutions across mission variants to minimize total ownership costs. Unique service requirements have been minimized. RDT&E funding supports modernization of the current JLTV by investigating technology insertions including, but not limited to: condition based maintenance, vetronics, autonomous operations and other emerging technologies; engineering change orders (ECOs) and retrofits to maintain the configuration of the trucks being used to integrate various weapons platforms. Current C4ISR integration activities include integration of systems such as: Marine Air Defense Integrated System (MADIS); Network on the Move (NOTM) Ground Combat Vehicles; Communications Emitter Sensing and Attack Systems (CESAS); Military GPS User Equipment (MGUE); and Remote Weapons System (RWS) Cannon. This line funds costs allocable to the JLTV program. FY 2023 budget activities include systems engineering/integration activities, Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) development, engineering design analysis and test efforts and the procurement of 1 test vehicle and associated kits in preparation for live fire testing as a result of the follow on contract. Efforts will focus on energy efficiency upgrades such as anti-idle and initial analysis of a next generation powertrain that will consider a hybrid option; Cyber Scans to evaluate emerging threats and technologies; integration of the A2 engine into the current platform; JLTV Utility Multipurpose Protected Shelter (JUMPS) to support emerging requirements such as Protected Ambulance, and Protected Command and Control; enhancing performance of Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) system capabilities as they relate to the JLTV; developmental efforts required for the integration of future C4ISR requirements on the JLTV; and cyber security vulnerability assessments and development of associated solutions of the JLTV system and integrated GFE and software. Additional activities include NAVSEA Penn State support for the development of a methodology CBM data architecture for the JLTV. This includes improving at-platform data collection, data transmission and storage, and development of predictive analytics.

Change Summary Explanation
The net funding increase from FY 2022 to FY 2023 of $0.851M is due to the adaptation of the A2 Engine into the current platform and procurement of 1 test vehicle and associated kits in preparation for live fire testing as a result of the follow on contract. The FY 2023 funding request was adjusted by $0.597M to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. --- FY 2023 funding increase reflects the fact that the FY 2022 President’s Budget request did not include out-year funding.
