This project supports continued modernization of the Army's Family of Medium Tactical Wheeled Vehicle (FMTV) fleet: 4x4 and 6x6 Cargo, Tractor, Load Handling System (LHS), Wrecker, Expandable Van, Shop Van, and Dump Truck variants with payloads ranging from 2.5-tons to 10-tons and associated companion trailers. Modernization includes upgrades in survivability, safety, modularity, fuel efficiency, power generation, reliability, maintainability, mobility, autonomous operation, and other emerging technologies that enhance warfighter capability. The Family of Medium Tactical Wheeled Vehicles perform the majority of the Army's local haul, line haul, and unit resupply missions throughout theater as multi-purpose transportation vehicles in combat, combat support, and combat service support units. The FMTV also serves as a host platform for Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF), Air and Missile Defense (AMD), and Counter - Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) supporting Fire Control and Communication modules, and other support areas for maintenance/personnel. This project supports development and integration of export power capability for AMD units: PM THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense), Patriot Missile System, Sentinel Integrated Fire Protection Capability (IFPC), and Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS)/Integrated Fire Control Network (IFCN). The Vehicle Integrated Power Kit (VIPK) will provide 20kW on the move and up to 120 kW of exportable power from the vehicle that will be utilized for command and control, directed energy weapons, radar systems, and missile launchers. FY 2027 funds in the amount of $3.763 million will be used for continued development and integration of Improved Vehicle Safety Technologies, including active safety technologies such as front collision warning, collision mitigation, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and 360-degree situational awareness. FY 2027 funds in the amount of $5.000 million will fund development of a winter rated tire for the FMTV that improves safety and mobility in cold weather environments.

Program detail

Mission & acquisition strategy

This project supports continued modernization of the Army's Family of Medium Tactical Wheeled Vehicle (FMTV) fleet: 4x4 and 6x6 Cargo, Tractor, Load Handling System (LHS), Wrecker, Expandable Van, Shop Van, and Dump Truck variants with payloads ranging from 2.5-tons to 10-tons and associated companion trailers. Modernization includes upgrades in survivability, safety, modularity, fuel efficiency, power generation, reliability, maintainability, mobility, autonomous operation, and other emerging technologies that enhance warfighter capability.

The strategy to develop, integrate, and test Improved Vehicle Safety Technologies is to leverage active safety capabilities developed commercially and adapt for military use on the FMTV. The development and integration will be conducted via STS Task Order with the vehicle OEM. The Army partnered with Operational Energy-Innovation (OE-I) and Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to fund an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) for rapid prototype design and test of Vehicle Export Power such as Vehicle Integrated Power Kits (VIPK) to conclude 2QFY28. The Army is targeting 4QFY28 to award an ECP cut-in to production line.
