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. FY11 major budget activities supported completion of the Technology Development (TD) phase testing, testing report submissions, and closeout of the TD prototype contracts. As the program progressed towards the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase, major budget activities supported staffing of the Capabilities Development Document, development of Milestone B documentation and the purchase of Government Furnished Equipment (GFE). Awaiting Acquisition Decision Memorandum (ADM) for approval to purchase GFE prior to Milestone B, therefore the program will carry over funding to FY 2012. RDT&E funding will be provided under two new Program Elements - 0604804A, Project L50 for FY12 and 0605812A, Project VU9 for out-years.
