JOINT LIGHT TACTICAL VEHICLES (JLTV) - SDD

Abstract

Funding supports the development and testing of the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) Family of Vehicles (FoV), which is a joint program between the Army and the Marine Corps. International participation will be offered during the Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (EMD) phase. The JLTV goal is a FoV 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. JLTV objectives include increased protection and performance over the current fleet; minimizing ownership costs by maximizing commonality, fuel efficiency, reliability, and maintaining effective competition throughout the life cycle. Commonality of components, maintenance procedures, training, etc., between vehicles is expected to be inherent in FoV solutions across mission variants to minimize total ownership cost. Unique service requirements have been minimized. During FY 2012, major budget activities are based upon an expected January 2012 Capability Development Document (CDD) approval and will support the Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB), up to three Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) contracts, hull and ballistic coupon testing, government furnished equipment and program management support. In FY 2012, the program acquisition strategy was revised to address Better Buying Power Initiatives, and reduced the schedule by 15 months to enable a 33-month Non-Developmental Item approach for EMD with Milestone B desicion in the third quarter of FY 2012.
