LTV Prototype

Abstract

The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) is a lightweight, high performance, four-wheel drive, air transportable and air droppable, high mobility tactical wheeled vehicle. The HMMWV consists of a basic design with several variants including Cargo/Utility, Armament Carrier, Ambulance, Shelter Carrier and Armored Armament Carrier. RDT&E efforts support Phase 1 of the Modernized Expanded Capacity Vehicle (MECV) Program, which will assess current light tactical vehicle survivability technologies through vehicle testing and modeling and simulation efforts. RDT&E efforts also support automotive improvements as a risk mitigation strategy for Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and material shortages due to halting new HMMWV production, and reductions to HMMWV Recapitalization and spares.
