What project DG7 buys

The Common Tactical Truck (CTT) program is a Family of Vehicles (FoV) that will replace the M915 Line Haul Tractor (LHT), Palletized Load System (PLS), and Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT) by leveraging best commercial practices and mature commercially available technology, including Predictive Logistics, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), and autonomy ready, resulting in lower procurement costs through economies of scale FY 2027 Project DG7 Base funds in the amount of $15.777 million supports CTT Procurement of Live Fire Test assets and test planning, initiation of the development CTT Autonomy Interoperability Profile (IoP) istantiation, continuation of the CTT Exportable Power and Energy Study, initiation of the CTT Logistics Products and Data Rights deliverables, and Program Management support. The total cost of the CTT Middle Tier of Acquisition Rapid Prototyping effort is $58.8 million RDT&E from FY 2023 to FY 2026. The CTT MTA Rapid Prototyping is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program. In accordance with Section 1815 of the FY 2008 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 110-181), these items are necessary for use by the active and reserve components of the Armed Forces for homeland defense missions, domestic emergency responses, and providing military support to civil authorities.

Who's building it

Named performers on project DG7

Performers named in the R-3 exhibit under this project. Share is of the project's whole FY2027 R-3 total — the same denominator the program-element split uses, so the two read on one scale and will not sum to 100% when unnamed or government work is in the mix. Budget-justification contract funding, not obligations.
