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 mission enabling equipment. Current SOF tactical vehicles are categorized into Light, Medium, Heavy, and Commercial, which include the Lightweight Tactical All-Terrain Vehicle (LTATV); Ground Mobility Vehicle (GMV 1.0 / 1.1); Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV); Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) Vehicle; Non-Standard Commercial Vehicle (NSCV); and SOF unique modifications for service common platforms. 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 and build enduring advantages and campaigning to advance strategy-aligned priorities in accordance with the 2022 National Defense Strategy. The total cost of the Family of Special Operations Vehicles (FSOV) Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $263.875 million (FY 2024 - FY 2028), including RDT&E and procurement of prototype units. This effort is fully funded across the FYDP.
