AFFORDABLE
Modular platform replaces 5 families of systems across the Army and USMC (over 40 systems) currently in the tactical vehicle fleet
SMART
Autonomous Convoy capability enables soldiers to be reassigned to mission critical tasks while increasing logistic throughput and enabling 24 / 7 operation.
Networked collaboration between UGV, UAV and unmanned sensors.
FAST
Highly efficient powertrains significantly reduce the operational energy requirements for the tactical fleet
Significantly more available on-board vehicle power enables advanced capability on the platform and exportable power to support contingency basing.
PRECISE
Integration to Sustainment Network to enable the right supplies reaching the soldier when they need it
PROTECTED
Ability to optionally man platform significantly reduces the risk to soldiers.
Modular, low cost active protection systems enable tailorable protection from a range of threats when vehicles are manned.
Active safety and driver assist technology significantly reduce crash and rollover injuries

Army S&T Prototyping Value Proposition
RDECOM prototype vehicles drive state of the art, achievable requirements and set acquisition programs of record up for success.
1999-2002 Future Tactical Truck System (FTTS) STO
2003-2007 FTTS Advanced Concept Technology Demonstrator
(ACTD)
Tech Development / System Concepts System Design Fabrication / System Test
Military Utility Assessment (MUA)
2009 - Present Joint Light Tactical Vehicle
Program of Record
• FTTS enabled the Army to get hardware in the hands of the User prior to JLTV program initiation to define achievable, affordable requirements and work future tactics and doctrine.
• Accelerate POR execution, reduce acquisition costs and drive down POR technical risk.
• Created a cohort of technical experts within S&T on prototype vehicle’s trade space and integration challenges that populated the new JLTV Program Office.
• Brought non-traditional ground vehicle industry into the competitive process for JLTV acquisition.
