Joint Light Tactical Vehicle
Abstract
JLTV is a joint program between the U.S. Army and the U.S. Marine Corps, of which the U.S. Army is the lead service. The JLTV goal is a FoV capable of performing multiple mission roles designed to provide protected, sustained, and networked mobility for personnel and payloads across the full Range of Military Operations (ROMO). JLTV objectives include increased performance, protection, and payload over the current legacy HMMWV fleet, minimizing ownership costs by maximizing commonality, fuel efficiency and reliability. The commonality of components, maintenance procedures, training, etc., among vehicles is expected to be inherent in FoV solutions across mission variants to minimize total ownership cost. Unique service requirements have been minimized. Funding supports modernization of the current Tactical Wheeled Vehicle fleets by investigating technology insertions including, but not limited to: condition based maintenance, vetronics, Victory Architecture, autonomous operations and other emerging technologies. Funding also supports developing initial prototypes to enable refinement of Operational Requirements and early user feedback to support future sustainment and operational movement operating concepts. Major FY20 budget activities include evaluation and assessment to improve reliability, reduce operational and sustainment (O&S) costs, or provide incremental upgrades to the base platform. These include: Li-Ion based technologies and mainstream DoD efforts to optimize the JLTV energy storage system architecture and drastically reduce (O&S) costs; acoustic and thermal signature mitigation technologies; Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) system packaging optimization efforts; integration of future weapon systems (i.e. Howitzer M119A3); integration of Ground Base Air Defense (GBAD), assured Positioning Navigation and Timing (PNT), Handheld Manpack and Small Form Fit (HMS) Block 2, Mounted Family of Computer Systems (MFoCS); tire solutions that provide more robust sidewalls while also providing optimal tire deflection; and Training Aids, Devices, Simulators and Simulation (TADSS).
