Family of Internally Transportable Vehicles (FITV)

Abstract

The Family of Ultra-light Tactical Vehicles (FULTV), which consists of the Utility Task Vehicle (UTV) and its replacement the Ultra-light Tactical Vehicle (ULTV), provides operational capabilities for infantry logistics, long- range surveillance, and reconnaissance missions in support of distributed heliborne operations. The lightweight vehicles provide units with increased logistics support while reducing the combat load burden on the individual Marine, as well as providing casualty evacuation for wounded Marines. The vehicles are transportable in the MV-22/CV-22 tilt rotary wing aircraft, CH-53E/ CH-53K rotary wings aircraft, and all fixed wing aircrafts. The FULTV vehicles mitigate the infantry units, reconnaissance battalions, and wing support squadrons mobility capability gaps, with the ability to operate in remote regions where currently fielded ground mobility platforms may be unsuitable due to size, weight, and transportability concerns.
