Family Of Med Tac Veh

Abstract

The FMTVA2 production and ECP modernization effort restores vehicle performance that was lost due to the addition of armor protection kits as the threat to tactical vehicles and the FMTV has increased. The FMTVA2 also addresses Space, Weight, Power, and Cooling (SWaP-C) constraints from having to host an increasing amount of C4ISR and Counter-IED equipment. PD MTV is executing the FMTVA2 effort documented in a signed Acquisition Decision Memorandum by the AAE on 16 November 2015. FY 2021 Project H07 Base funds in the amount of $1.850 million will be used to conduct Operational Testing required per Chapter 141, Title 10 USC. The FMTVA1P2 represents the FMTV model currently in production with over 40,000 vehicles fielded to date. The FMTVA1P2 will remain in the tactical vehicle fleet until 2040 and beyond. To keep the A1P2 fleet viable into the future and able to perform its mission in austere environments, upgrades to Survivability and Crew Protection Kits will be required as the threat on the battlefield evolves. The three FMTV LVAD models (M1081, M1093, M1094) ended production in 2009 and represent the oldest vehicles in the FMTV fleet. Updates to the LVAD are needed to address obsolescence issues and bring the configuration up to today's standards. FY 2021 Project H07 Base funds in the amount of $0.381 million will be used for testing of an LVAD Technical Demonstrator developed using FY 2019 Project H07 funds. To ensure supportability of the FMTVA1P2 through FY 2040 and beyond, the PD MTV, as lifecycle managers for the system, shall address potential obsolescence issues with the powertrain and Material Handling Equipment used on the FMTV. Increasing survivability and crew protection of the FMTVA1P2 comes at the expense of decreased vehicle mobility and performance in soft soil and winter environments. The A1P2 is being asked to carry more weight than what it was originally designed for. Low risk, highly commercial improvements to the A1P2 driveline, suspension, and tires can be made to minimize the loss in mobility performance. Funding supports modernization of the current Tactical Wheeled Vehicle fleets by investigating technology insertions including, but not limited to: condition based maintenance, vetronics, Victory Architecture, autonomous operations and other emerging technologies. Funding also supports developing initial prototypes to enable refinement of Operational Requirements and early user feedback to support future sustainment and operational movement operating concepts.
