Motor Transport Mod
Abstract
The Marine Corps Tactical Motor Transport Modification project 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. Since 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 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. In addition, lessons learned will be implemented and used to develop safety related Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) to correct hazards noted during the standard day to day operation of the M88A2 Improved Recovery Vehicle. The HMMWV Sustainment Modification Initiative (SMI) program was cancelled effective FY 2016. FY 2015 funding will support engineering studies and analysis to evaluate the vehicle performance, safety and reliability. This program does not have funding beyond FY15. Future Legacy HMMWV improvements and sustainment efforts will be funded in the Motor Transport Modification project. The Material Handling Equipment (MHE) line is a roll-up line that provides for the replacement and Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) of Marine Corps MHE including forklifts, cranes, and container handlers. Funds will be used to explore techniques and technology to help survivability of the various platforms while also working to help sustain reliability and performance of the equipment. The Family of Construction Equipment (FCE) line is a roll-up line that provides for the replacement and Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) of Marine Corps construction equipment. Funds will be used for Ballistic and Add on Armor (AoA) application tests and integration into the Engineer Family of Systems construction equipment. This program does not have funding beyond FY15. P-19 Replacement (P-19R) 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 Marine Air Ground Task Force, such as ammunition supply points, Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricant (POL) distribution points, or hazardous material storage facilities. The decrease in funding from FY15 to FY16 is due to program entering production phase. The Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR) Trailer program explored options for "lightening the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF)" weight and cube attributes of the medium trailer fleet and sought technologies and other current and emerging options to be employed to achieve optimum lift capability while constrained to the desired weight and cube. Transportation and expeditionary goals were considered in the research and development phase for the trailer fleet. The MTVR Trailer program is a USMC initiative to replace the current M105/MK149/M353 Trailers with a trailer capable of augmenting the MTVR's increased mobility without degrading its operational capabilities. This program will develop and field a trailer which will have greater mobility characteristics while increasing the payload up to 11,500 lbs. MTVR Trailer funding ended in FY14 and will transition to the Family of Tactical Trailers program in FY16. The Family of Tactical Trailers program will explore options for "lightening the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF)" weight and cube attributes of the light and medium/heavy trailer fleet. Seeking technologies and other current and emerging options that can be employed to achieve optimum lift capability while constrained to the desired weight and cube. Transportation and expeditionary goals will be considered in the research and development phase for the trailer fleet. Develop long-term modernization plans for the medium and heavy trailers within the Marine Corps to address operating safety enhancements, maintainability enhancements, and crew ergonomic improvements. The FY15 to FY16 increase is due to the inclusion of the MTVR Trailer to address safety and performance needs once fielded. Family of Material Handling Equipment is exploring ways to armor or design survivability for various pieces of equipment in the Material Handling Family. This program does not have funding beyond FY14.
