SOF Tactical Vehicles

Abstract

This program element provides for the development and testing of a variety of capability upgrades to Special Operations Forces (SOF) Vehicles and ancillary equipment. Current SOF tactical vehicles are categorized into Light, Medium, Heavy, and Commercial, and include the following: Light Tactical All-Terrain Vehicles (LTATV), Ground Mobility Vehicles (GMV 1.1), Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles, Non Standard Commercial Vehicles (NSCV), Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV), and SOF Coms kits for Stryker. The SOF mission mandates that SOF vehicles remain technologically superior, operate in multiple environments, and be able to meet any threat to provide a maximum degree of survivability. These technologies will be pursued via rapid prototyping efforts when appropriate. The FY 2022 funding request was reduced by $7.808 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. FY 2022 Fiscal Balancing: -$0.884 million decrease is attributed to the reductions necessary to accommodate budget realities and directed strategy driven changes. Reduces Family of Special Operations Vehicles (FSOV) Test and Evaluation (T&E) on GMV 1.1 Hybrid electric prototypes.
