JLTV Program wants more survivable military vehicles

General Dynamics Land Systems to provide the JLTV Program a conceptual design and mockup of more survivable military vehicles for the US Army and Marine Corps.

The Office of Naval Research has selected General Dynamics Land Systems, a business unit of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), to perform a “Best Technical Approach” trade study and to build a mock-up for use in defining a common set of requirements for the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) Program. JLTV is expected to provide the U.S. Army and Marine Corps with a family of more survivable vehicles and greater payload than the HMWWV.

The JLTV family of vehicles will comprise five “Mission Role” variants: the Combat Tactical Variant, the Command and Control Variant, the Utility Variant, the Light Infantry Squad Carrier Variant and the Reconnaissance Variant. The vehicle family will also include compatible trailers.

The JLTV design will include a basic armor protection package as well as provisions to accommodate an additional add-on armor kit. The JLTV will be network enabled, provide power for all on-board electronic components with the engine on and during extended silent watch, and export power to outside systems. Satisfying these design issues, meeting transportability and mobility requirements, and making this an affordable family of vehicles will require the use of innovative technologies and design strategies.

Work will be performed by existing General Dynamics employees located in the Muskegon Technical Center at Muskegon, Mich., and at Sterling Heights, Mich. Work is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2007.
