Family of Internally Transportable Vehicles (FITV)

Abstract

The Family of Ultra-light Tactical Vehicles (FULTV), which consists of the Utility Task Vehicles (UTV) and its eventual replacement the Ultra-light Tactical Vehicle (ULTV), provides operational capabilities for both infantry logistics and long-range surveillance and reconnaissance missions in support of distributed heliborne operations providing units with increased logistics support while reducing the combat load burden on the individual Marine as well providing casualty evacuation for wounded Marines. In addition, the FULTV fills a much needed capability gap in forward arming and refueling point (FARP) operations by enabling the tactical aviation ground refueling system (TAGRS) to rapidly establish refueling sites in austere locations. The vehicles are transportable in the V-22, CH53E and CH53F tilt selected rotary and fixed wing aircraft. The FULTV vehicles mitigate the infantry, reconnaissance battalions and wing support squadrons capability gaps, with the ability to operate in remote, rural regions where currently fielded ground mobility platforms may be unsuitable due to size, weight, and transportability concerns.
