Motor Transport Mod

Abstract

The Marine Corps Tactical Motor Transportation Modification Program manages procurement and life cycle sustainment for more than 40,000 principle end items divided among four fleets: Light Fleet, Medium Fleet, Heavy Fleet, and Special Fleet. A sustained effort is maintained in the Marine Corps for development and testing in support of fleet Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) initiatives, vehicle quality deficiency resolutions, safety initiatives, environmental/state transportation mandated vehicle changes, and system component refresh modifications efforts. Given transportation asset operational availability declines at a steady rate over time, SLEP, Fleet overhauls, and enhanced depot level modifications are essential in maintaining a viable transportation capability in the Marine Corps Operating Forces. The HMMWV/ECV Modification Program will restore payload and performance to extend the service life and enhance the durability of those ECVs not replaced by JLTV out to 2030. This will be accomplished by exploring/evaluating various solutions based upon cost, weight, performance, and durability. The Improved Recovery Vehicle (IRV) project includes improvements in all areas of the M88A2 Improved Recovery Vehicle. Continued funding is required to address obsolescence and support pre-planned product improvements. Additionally, funding will implement lessons learned and develop safety related Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) to correct hazards noted during the standard day to day operation of the M88A2 Improved Recovery Vehicle. P-19 Replacement will replace the aging A/S32P-19A Crash Fire Rescue fleet in support of expeditionary airfield operations and the supporting establishment. The vehicle will be outfitted with advanced fire suppression equipment and provide rescue and aircraft fire fighting capabilities to permanent and expeditionary airfields throughout the Marine Corps. The P-19 Replacement may also be employed to fight structure fires in support of base camps and as firefighting support to other elements of the MAGTF, such as ammunition supply points, Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricant (POL) distribution points, or hazardous material storage facilities. MTVR trailer and Family of Tactical Trailers programs will explore options for "lightening the MAGTF" weight and cube attributes of our light and medium trailer fleet. Funds will explore technologies and other current and emerging options that can be employed to achieve optimum lift capability with constraints to the desired weight and cube. Transportation and expeditionary goals will be considered in the research and development phase for the trailer fleet. Family of Materiel Handling Equipment will explore ways to armor or design survivability into the family of materiel handling family.
