## 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.

**R-3 lines of work:** Product Development; Support; Test and Evaluation.

### Procurement of Live Fire Test Assets — NEW START

**FY2027 planned work.** Procurement of test assets supporting Live Fire Test (LFT&E).

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** FY 2027 funding increase is due to the purchase of the live fire test assets for CTT

### CTT Program Management Support

**FY2027 planned work.** FY 2027 will fund program management support for the continuation of acquisition documentation completion.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Funding decrease from FY26 to FY27 due to the transition of program support shifting from RDTE to procurement.

**FY2026 plans — current year.** FY 2026 will fund program management support for RFP development, acquisition documentation completion.

**FY2025 accomplishments.** Funding for CTT matrix functional support.

### CTT Test Planning — NEW START
