Family Of Hvy Tac Veh
Abstract
The Heavy Dump Truck (HDT) supports construction projects by loading, transporting and dumping payloads of sand and gravel aggregates, crushed rock, hot asphalt mixes, earth, clay, rubble, large boulders and other materials up to gross vehicle weight rating to job sites under worldwide climatic conditions. The HDT also serves as a quarry truck for the quick transport of bulk raw earth material to and from the crushing screening and washing plant and the asphalt mixing plant and the HDT also serves as a transportation asset for organizational equipment. The HDT is required to replace the M917 and F5070 HDT. In FY14, Army PM MRAP will execute research and development on survivability, mobility and storage technologies. Within the survivability arena, JPO MRAP will focus on improved underbody armor concepts to improve current capabilities and to accomplish this with no to only minimal increase in vehicle weight. Additional survivability efforts will work toward RPG/Shaped Charge threat defeat mechanisms that have a higher probability of defeating this prolific threat, as well as developments in Transparent Armor (TA) that will extend the life of the TA in order to reduce sustainment costs. Additional analysis of black box data recorders from vehicles operating in a home station training profile will also give us opportunities to reduce operating and sustainment costs when operating CONUS. Due to the size and increased weight of the enduring MRAP variants, mobility studies will be conducted to identify technologies that will regain levels of mobility that were traded off during previous survivability upgrades. Since a significant portion of the MRAP vehicles will be stored in APS locations, PM MRAP will also conduct corrosion protection efforts to develop strategies to minimize degradation of systems that are held in long term storage.
