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. This Project also supports development of Climate Change initiatives such as Vehicle Electrification and other climate change related technologies for the tactical vehicle fleet. 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 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. FY 2023 Project H07 Base funds in the amount of $2.800 million will be used for development and integration of Improved Vehicle Safety Technologies, including active safety technologies such as front collision warning, collision mitigation, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and 360 deg situational awareness. FY2023 Project H07 Base funds in the amount of $15.000 million will be used to support the development and testing of the vehicle electrification and of other climate change related technologies for the Tactical Wheeled Vehicle Fleet. FY2023 Project H07 Base funds in the amount of $0.700 million will be used to develop Predictive Logistics capability that analyzes vehicle condition data and uses it to predict impending component failure and reduce unnecessary services resulting in increased readiness and reduced maintenance cost. FY 2023 Project H07 Base funds in the amount of $3.663 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.
