Light Tactical Wheeled Vehicles

Mission — Light Tactical Wheeled Vehicles source

The Army's High Mobility Multipurpose Vehicle (HMMWV) is a lightweight, high performance four-wheel drive, air transportable and air droppable family of tactical vehicles. The vehicle comes armored and unarmored with several different configurations: Command and Control; Cargo/Shelter Carrier; Weapons Carrier and Ambulance and is capable of performing multiple mission roles for personnel and payloads across the full spectrum of military operations. HMMWV Occupancy Protection supports an All Belts to Seats (ABTS) effort which would mitigate occupant injuries during rollover events, integrate air bags/air belts, and significantly minimize head contact with the roof and doors. Efforts within the Program Element includes Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV), and HMMWV Occupancy Protection. The Army Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV), through enhanced tactical mobility, will motorize the Brigade Combat Teams (BCT's) and the 75th Ranger Regiment with their associated equipment to move quickly around the battlefield. This capability is required across the range of military operations conducting crisis response, initial entry, and selected decisive action missions. ISV deploys worldwide by sea, air, and land modes to support strategic deployment and operational maneuver in accordance with Army and Joint doctrine. This capability provides flexibility for entry operations (permissive and non-permissive) to counter threat anti-access strategies by using multiple austere entry points to bring in combined arms configured units. ISV enables infantry squad to operate dispersed and cover greater distances that will achieve positions of advantage and enables platoons and companies to transport and power enabling capabilities at the speeds, distances, and survivability required to support ISV enabled infantry squads and other supporting mission payloads. The ISV enables charging of critical capabilities through increased export power, pushing forward of Class I&V resupply, and enabling CASEVAC. Supports modernization of the current Wheeled Vehicle fleets by investigating technology insertions including, but not limited to: predictive logistics, vetronics, Victory Architecture, autonomous operations and other emerging technologies and variants. Funding also supports developing initial prototypes to enable refinement of Operational Requirements and early user feedback to support future sustainment and operational movement operating concepts. PE 06044642A has no FY26 funding request.
