Joint Light Tactical Vehicle

Abstract

Funding supports the JLTV Family of Vehicles (FoV) to include the development and testing of Command, Control, Communications, Computers, & Intelligence (C4I) for integration with the JLTV. JLTV is a joint program between the U.S. Army and the U.S. Marine Corps, of which the U.S. Army is the lead service. JLTV is a FoV capable of performing multiple mission roles designed to provide protected, sustained, and networked mobility for personnel and payloads across the full Range of Military Operations (ROMO). JLTV features include increased performance, protection, and payload over the current legacy HMMWV fleet, reducing ownership costs by maximizing commonality, fuel efficiency and reliability. The commonality of components, maintenance procedures, training, etc, among vehicles are inherent in FoV solutions across mission variants to minimize total ownership cost. Unique service requirements have been minimized. RDT&E funding supports modernization of the current JLTV by investigating technology insertions including, but not limited to: condition based maintenance, vetronics, autonomous operations and other emerging technologies; engineering change orders (ECOs) and retrofits to maintain the configuration of the RDT&E Government Systems Integration Laboratory (GSIL) trucks being used to integrate various weapons platforms. FY21 budget activities include systems engineering/integration activities, design analysis and tests conducted at the Joint GSIL. Efforts will focus on enhancing performance of Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) system capabilities as they relate to the JLTV; developmental efforts required for the integration of future C4ISR requirements on the JLTV; cyber security vulnerability assessment and development of associated solutions of the JLTV system and integrated GFE and software. Future C4ISR integration activities include integration of systems such as: Marine Air Defense Integrated System (MADIS); Network on the Move (NOTM) Ground Combat Vehicles; Communications Emitter Sensing and Attack Systems (CESAS); Military GPS User Equipment (MGUE); and Remote Weapons System (RWS) Cannon. This line funds costs allocatable to the JLTV program.
