JOINT LIGHT TACTICAL VEHICLE (JLTV) - AD

Abstract

Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTV): Funding supports the development and testing of the JLTV Family of Vehicles (FoV), which is being developed as a joint and international system between the Army and Marine Corps, and the Australian Army, participating under a Project Arrangement. The JLTV goal is a FoV with companion trailers capable of performing multiple mission roles that will be designed to provide protected, sustained, networked mobility for personnel and payloads across the full Range of Military Operations (RoMO). JLTV objectives include increased protection and performance over the current fleet; minimizing ownership costs by maximizing commonality, fuel efficiency and other means; and maintaining effective competition throughout the lifecycle. The JLTV FoV includes ten (10) sub-configurations (and companion trailers) in three payload categories. Commonality of components, maintenance procedures, training, etc., between vehicles and trailers is expected to be inherent in FoV solutions within and across Payload Categories to minimize FoV total ownership cost. Unique service requirements have been minimized. FY10, major budget activities supported completion of ballistic hull testing, vehicle performance testing, user evaluations, reliability testing and prototype live fire evaluations. During FY11, funds complete the Technology Development phase testing and test report submissions and the initiation of Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase. As the program progresses towards EMD, major budget activities will support staffing of the Capabilities Development Document, MS B document preparation, source selection evaluation activities and MS B decision. RDT&E funding will be provided under a new Program Element - 0604804A, Project L50 for FY12 and out years.
