Joint Light Tactical Vehicle
Abstract
This is a Commandant of the Marine Corps Force Design program. Funding supports the JLTV Family of Vehicles (FoV) to include the development and testing of mechanical and 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. The JLTV FoV is 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. JLTV features include increased performance, protection, and payload over the current HMMWV fleet, reducing ownership costs by maximizing commonality, fuel efficiency, and reliability. The commonality of components, maintenance procedures, and training among vehicles are inherent in FoV solutions across mission variants to minimize total ownership costs. Unique service requirements have been minimized. RDT&E funding supports modernization of the JLTV Family of Vehicles by investigating technology insertions including, but not limited to: condition based maintenance plus (CBM+), vehicle electronics systems, and other emerging technologies and safety initiatives; engineering change orders (ECOs), and retrofits to maintain the configuration of the trucks being used to integrate various weapons platforms. Current mechanical and Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) integration activities include integration of systems such as: Marine Air Defense Integrated System (MADIS) and Remote Weapons System (RWS) Cannon, Network on the Move (NOTM), Ground Combat Vehicles (GCV), Operational Precision Fires - Mobile (OPF-M), Communications Emitter Sensing and Attack Systems (CESAS II), Joint Battle Command-Platform (JBC-P), Tactical Imagery Production System Next Generation (TIPS NG), Mobile Command Vehicle (MCV), and Navy Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System (NMESIS) Key Leader Vehicle. FY 2024 budget activities include live fire and survivability testing, systems engineering/integration activities, Condition Based Maintenance plus (CBM+), engineering design analysis, and test efforts. Efforts will focus on energy efficiency initiatives such as anti-idle and initial analysis of a next generation powertrain that will consider a hybrid option; Cyber Scans to evaluate emerging threats and technologies; integration of the new engine into the JLTV A2; JLTV Utility Multipurpose Protected Shelter (JUMPS) to support emerging requirements such as Force Protection and Survivability improvements; enhancing performance of 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 assessments; and development/integration of associated fielded and Force Design solutions for the JLTV system and integrated capabilities and software. The net decrease from FY 2023 to FY 2024 of $0.247M is a result of procurement of test assets ($0.487) in FY 2023 to be used in FY 2024, and the overall increase of test efforts in FY 2024 to include Live Fire and Survivability testing of production test asset. The Marine Corps affirms with a high degree of confidence that the program in this line item is executable.
