Joint Light Tactical Vehicle
Abstract
Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) supports light fleet modernization and Force Design as the next generation replacement for legacy High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) and light tactical trailers. 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. 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, ambulance shelter kit design analysis for the JLTV, 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 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), 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 2025 budget activities for the JLTV Family of Vehicles (FoV) include initiation of JLTV ambulance shelter kit design analysis, and continuation of JLTV A2 vehicle live fire and survivability testing, system engineering/integration, engineering design analysis, and test efforts. Efforts will focus on development/enhancement efforts required for the integration of C4ISR requirements on the JLTV FoV; next generation powertrain that will consider a hybrid option; cyber scans to evaluate emerging threats and technologies; cyber security vulnerability assessments; and development/integration of associated fielded and force design solution for the JLTV system and other system technical support to develop and integrate vehicle and software enhancements that support ongoing Marine Corps Force Design modernization efforts. The net increase from FY 2024 to FY 2025 of $8.139M is due to the initiation of the JLTV ambulance shelter kit design analysis and the reduction of system technical support engineering efforts and operational test and evaluation of the A2 vehicle.
