Motor Transport Mod
Abstract
The Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR) Modification program line funds numerous modifications and initiatives required to address operational priorities, engineering change proposals (ECP), safety concerns, support equipment and other issues that affect vehicle reliability, availability, maintainability, readiness, as well as energy efficiency. A proactive and focused approach ensures proper vehicle sustainment and life-cycle management and allows the program office to develop and implement improvements as required to respond to the evolving needs of the Marine Corps. MTVR funding will support Technology Demonstration (TD) efforts for a Medium Tactical Truck (MTT), previously referenced as Medium Tactical Vehicle (MTV) in budget exhibits, that will determine maturity of technology advancements within the scope of industry production capabilities and address DoD Energy Efficiency goals while maintaining effectiveness and suitability in operational environments. The intended purpose of the TD effort is informing requirements and cost in support of a MTVR replacement program. The Marine Corps Tactical Motor Transport Modification (MTM) Light Tactical Vehicle Modification (LTVM) project manages life cycle sustainment for the light fleet vehicle and tactical trailer principal end items. A sustained effort is maintained in the Marine Corps for development and testing in support of the light tactical vehicle quality deficiency resolutions, technology and safety initiatives and environmental/state transportation mandated vehicle changes. The Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) Family of Vehicles (FoV) provides tactical mobility for Warfighters with multi-mission vehicles designed to support operational needs and protect personnel from the effects of improvised explosive devices (IEDs), underbody mines and small arms fire threats. Multiple vehicle categories (CATs) have been procured, fielded and sustained: Category I - Urban combat operations, ambulance; Category II - Multi-mission ops-convoy lead, troop transport, ambulance, utility vehicle; and, Category III - Mine/IED clearance ops, explosive ordnance disposal. Operational needs to provide personnel survivability is essential to current and future operations. The Family of Medium/Heavy Tactical Trailers & Ancillary Equipment (FT&AE) management strategy will use RDT&E funding to explore new technology that can be used to achieve optimum lift within the desired weight and cube constraints in support of the "Lightening the MAGTF" initiative, as well as improving capabilities, to include re-engineering the ground clearance on various trailers to improve off-road mobility. Transportation and expeditionary goals will be considered in the research and development for the medium/heavy trailer fleet to include (but not limited to) the M1076 PLS (Palletized Load System) Trailer, MK1077 Flatrack, MK593 6 Ton Cargo Trailer, M870 40/50 Ton Low Bed, MK970 Tactical Refueler, M149A2 400 Gallon Water Tank Trailer, M353 3.5 Ton General Purpose Trailer, and the Flatrack Refueler Capability (FRC). The Family of Logistics Vehicle System Replacement (LVSR) is the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Heavy Lift Capability system. This line funds numerous modifications and initiatives that are required to address operational priorities, engineering change proposals, safety concerns, support equipment and other issues that affect vehicle reliability, availability, maintainability and readiness. A proactive and focused approach ensures proper vehicle sustainment and life-cycle management and allows the flexibility to develop and implement improvements as required to respond to the evolving needs of the Marine Corps. The Family of P-19 Replacement (P-19R) replaced 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. It provides rescue and aircraft firefighting capabilities to permanent and expeditionary airfields throughout the Marine Corps. The P-19R is also 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.
