Joint Light Tactical Vehicle - ED

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 2013, major budget activities include support for three Engineering and Manufacturing Development contracts; completion of EMD prototype fabrication, delivery of the prototypes, ballistic cab and chassis testing, vendor shakedown testing, Government Test Readiness Review, initiation of Government performance, Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM) test, and ballistic testing and program management support.
