Abstract

The FMTVA2 Production and Engineering Change Proposal (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, Onboard Vehicle Power, Predictive Logistics (PL) and other climate change related technologies for the Tactical Wheeled 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 FMTVA1P2 is being asked to carry more weight than what it was originally designed for. Low risk, highly commercial improvements to the FMTVA1P2 driveline, suspension, and tires can be made to minimize the loss in mobility performance. FY 2024 Project H07 Base funds in the amount of $.500 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 degree situational awareness. FY 2024 Project H07 Base funds in the amount of $2.726 million will be used for Low Velocity Air Drop (LVAD) Automotive Performance Qualification (PQT) testing. FY 2024 Project H07 Base funds in the amount of $25.000 million will be used to continue the development, test, and integration of Climate Change initiatives such as Tactical Vehicle Anti-Idle Retrofit Kit, On Board Vehicle Power, Hybrid Propulsion, Predictive Logistics (PL) development and other technologies associated with the combatting climate change for the Tactical Wheeled Vehicle fleet.
