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, integrating systems, long- range surveillance, and reconnaissance missions in support of distributed heliborne operations. The lightweight vehicles provide units with increased logistics support and electrical power 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. The FULTV supports the Fleet Marine Forces by providing infantry and reconnaissance battalions with a reliable, easily maintained, inexpensive vehicle that supports the range of military operations (ROMO) including distributed operations (DO), littoral operation in a contested environment (LOCE), expeditionary advanced based operations (EABO), and Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR). The FULTV platforms hosts essential Force Design 2030 kill web enabling capabilities. The ULTV also includes a ULTV-High-Power variant which provides exportable electrical power generation in support of the requirements for kill web integrating systems.
