Technology Evaluation and Integration for Heavy Tactical Vehicles

Abstract

Provide engineering support to the US Army, Program Manager for the Fielding of Heavy Tactical Vehicles (PM-HTV). PM-HTV is in the process of upgrades to the HEMTT production vehicle so as to increase vehicle reliability and safety, and reduce life cycle costs. o Vehicle upgrades may include the addition of electrical power management, vehicle sensor integration and monitoring, and driver-assist equipment. o In order to illuminate what this means in terms of future engineering changes this effort will conduct engineering, integration, test and evaluation of these systems. o Though these efforts and experience PM HTV will have an engineering foundation, set of performance data, and a technical data package to decide and carry on with implementation. o All deliverables are government owned. One of the main outcomes of this effort will be the delivery of a demonstration HEMTT A2 vehicle equipped with these systems for user evaluation and assessment.
