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 2022 Project H07 Base funds in the amount of $3.071 million will be used for the Improved Vehicle Safety Technologies and FMTVA2 Operational Testing and Adversarial Assessment . 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 modernize the fleet. FY 2022 Project H07 Base funds in the amount of $6.478 million will be used for the FMTV Low-velocity Air Drop (LVAD) Next Generation STS Work Directive, prototype LVAD conversion kits and procurement of test assets to support Live Fire and airdrop certification. The FMTVA1P2 ended production in 2021 and represents the highest density FMTV model 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. 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: prognostics & preventative 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.
