Cold Weather All-Terrain Vehicle (CATV)
Abstract
The Cold-weather All-Terrain Vehicle (CATV) is a tracked vehicle that will provide transportation for up to a 10-Soldier element, emergency medical evacuation, command and control capability, and general cargo transportation on- and off-road in an Arctic environment under a wide range of otherwise impassable terrain, to include frozen ice, and extreme cold weather conditions to support year-round training as well as to conduct Homeland Defense (HD), Homeland Security (HS), and Defense support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) mission. The CATV will employ two carrier variants: General-purpose carrier variant capable of providing transport for not less than 9 Soldiers, plus the driver within a cab/enclosure (10 Soldiers) with equipment and supplies to sustain three days of combat operations. The General Purpose variant will be reconfigurable to a casualty evacuation (CASEVAC) variant capable of transporting medical equipment, two caregivers, and not less than two litter patients or four ambulatory patients in addition to the driver within a cab/enclosure. The General Purpose variant will also be reconfigurable to a Command and Control (C2) variant providing the space weight and power to hosting standard Joint communications and common operating picture (COP) platforms. The C2 and COP equipment should be able to be used enroute or with minimal setup upon halt by six Soldiers in addition to the driver within a cab/enclosure. Cargo/flatbed capable of carrying outsized equipment and cargo. The cargo variant should allow for loading cargo with a forklift from either side (i.e. dropside or flatbed configuration) and have a cab/enclosure for two Soldiers (driver and vehicle commander). Testing in ECW is necessary to prove the adequacy to the requirements with timing necessary to support planned Field Unit Equipped (FUE) in FY23. FUE is needed as soon as possible to replace the current capability that is reaching the end of life due to obsolescence
