Motor Transport Mod
Abstract
The Marine Corps Tactical Motor Transport Modification (MTM) project manages procurement and life cycle sustainment for more than 25,000 light fleet vehicle and tactical trailer principle end items. 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 to include addressing deficiencies of HMMWV vehicles due to up armoring and age degradation of the fleet. 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 M88A2 Modification program funds research, development and testing of improvements in all areas of the M88A2 HERCULES vehicle, which provides the MAGTF heavy combat recovery capability. Funding addresses obsolescence and Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) to improve performance and develop safety related 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 supported engineering studies and analysis to evaluate the vehicle performance, safety and reliability. This program does not have funding beyond the FY15 HMMWV project. Future Legacy HMMWV safety and reliability efforts will be funded as a part of the Motor Transport Modification project 2509. P-19 Replacement (P-19R) is replacing the obsolete A/S32P-19A Crash Fire Rescue fleet in support of expeditionary airfield operations and the supporting establishment. The vehicle is 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 structural fires in support of base camps and as firefighting support to other elements of the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF), such as ammunition supply points, Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricant (POL) distribution points, or hazardous material storage facilities. The Family of Trailers & Ancillary Equipment 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. Will develop long-term modernization plans for the medium and heavy trailers within the Marine Corps to address operating safety enhancements, mission maintainability enhancements, and crew ergonomic improvements.
