Description
Description — Motor Transport Modifications
Motor Transport Modifications funds numerous essential modifications that are required to address operational priorities, engineering change proposals (ECPs), material safety issues, related travel, and other issues that affect vehicle reliability, safety, availability, and readiness. A proactive and focused approach will ensure the equipment that supports Force Design and Marine Corps readiness is prepared to address Littoral Operations in Contested Environments (LOCEs) and in the Indo-Pacific. Proper vehicle sustainment and life-cycle management will allow the Marine Corps to develop and implement improvements as needed to continue to prepare to respond to such operations as Air Defense systems, C2 Degraded environment systems, Close Combat lethality systems, and Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO). The Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR) is the Marine Corps medium ground lift capability supporting all elements of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF). With its 70% off-road mission profile and the addition of a highly survivable armor package, the MTVR is heavily used in contingency operations as well as missions supporting humanitarian operations. It has a payload of 7.1 tons off-road and 15 tons on-road, a high-performance suspension, traction control, central tire inflation system, and automatic transmission, to transport personnel, ammunition, bulk cargo, and bulk fuel and water in a variety of environments. The MTVR Family of Vehicles (FoV) includes a cargo variant (both standard and extended wheelbase configurations), a dump truck, a wrecker, a tractor and a Resupply Vehicle (RSV). This program funds numerous product improvements to the MTVR via ECPs, resulting from post-production requirements in force protection, communications, on-board situational awareness, and improved fuel efficiency required across the range of military operations, as well as addressing product quality deficiencies and other issues that impact vehicle safety, reliability, availability and readiness. The requirements capability changes to improve fuel efficiency for the MTVR is part of the program's initiatives to lower fuel consumption and extend the operational range of the vehicle, while lowering operating costs over the life of the MTVR. The Family of Logistics Vehicle System Replacement (LVSR) is the MAGTF Heavy Lift Capability system. The LVSR is built on the Oshkosh TAC-4 fully independent suspension, allowing it to traverse a variety of challenging terrain while carrying a payload of up to 22.5 tons. The LVSR accomplishes a variety of tactical logistics missions using armored and unarmored cargo, tractor, and recovery variants. Funding provides for modifications required for the LVSR fleet of vehicles, such as updated brackets and cables for warfighter systems (e.g., jammers) as they are upgraded. These modifications also include critical safety upgrades such as the transfer case heat sensor to prevent the LVSR from overheating and having a thermal event during operation. Finally, modifications include life-cycle issues such as cab reconditioning, parts obsolescence, and life-cycle cost reductions. The Light Tactical Vehicle Modification (LTVM) is a family of vehicles modification program that funds numerous essential modifications that are required to address operational priorities, engineering change proposals, safety concerns, and other issues that affect vehicle reliability, availability, and readiness. A proactive and focused approach ensures proper sustainment and life-cycle management of the light tactical vehicle fleet. The Family of P-19 Replacement (P-19R) replaced the obsolete A/S32P-19A Crash Fire Rescue fleet in support of expeditionary airfield operations and the supporting establishment. The vehicle is outfitted with advanced fire suppression equipment. It provides rescue and aircraft firefighting capabilities to permanent and expeditionary airfields throughout the Marine Corps. The P-19R may also be employed to fight structural fires in support of base camps and as firefighting support to other elements of the MAGTF, such as ammunition supply points, Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricant (POL) distribution points, or hazardous material storage facilities. The Family of Medium/Heavy Tactical Trailers & Ancillary Equipment (FT&AE) encompasses equipment upgrades and changes made to fielded trailers. FT&AE primarily provides for the procurement and support of trailers in the medium and heavy fleet to enhance Marine Corps tactical vehicle mobility capability. This program primarily supports various medium and heavy trailers, to include the M1076 PLS (Palletized Load System) Trailer, the MK1077 Flatrack for the PLS Trailer and the Logistics Vehicle System Replacement (LVSR), the MK593 6 Ton Cargo Trailer, the M870 40/50 Ton Low Bed, the MK970 Tactical Refueler, the M149A2 400 Gallon Water Tank Trailer, the MK38/M1095 Resupply Trailer (RST), the MK970 5,000 Gallon Semitrailer, the M353 3.5 Ton General Purpose Trailer, and the Flatrack Refueler Capability (FRC).
Justification
Justification — Motor Transport Modifications
FY 2026 Base Appropriation Request: $16.472M ($14.313M Active; $2.159M Reserve) The Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR): $0.739M in funding supports integration efforts in order to meet approved operational requirements that span across Marine Expeditionary Forces (MEFs), for procuring and installing several types of modification kits. These modification upgrades improve the ability of the crew to shoot, move, and communicate by prioritizing the installation of C4I (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence) systems, upgrading the weapons mount kit to enable the employment of heavy machine guns, as well as the front and rear cab axle mounts that are required due to the addition of heavy armor. C4I kits enable the platform to accept Radios, Intercoms, Jammers, and Blue Force Situational Awareness capabilities. Additionally, installation of the Turret Gunner Restraint System (TGRS) provides rollover protection for the Marine in the turret using a full-body, six-point harness. Installation of Automatic Fire Extinguisher System (AFES) provide additional crew survivability. Fuel Efficiency (FE) upgrades will continue to be installed on the entire MTVR fleet of vehicles. FE upgrades provide reduced fuel consumption which will continue to lead to significant cost savings over the life of the MTVRs. Higher fuel economy will improve our warfighter's combat effectiveness by reducing the logistical footprint, increasing expeditionary capability and extending the operational range of fuel-powered equipment. Installation costs account for over half the total cost of each ECP. These ECPs are part of a continual effort to upgrade the MTVR as the item exit date has been extended from 2022 to 2042. The funding decrease from FY 2025 to FY 2026 is primarily due to acquisition strategy changes. The funding decrease from FY 2025 to FY 2026 is due to a reduced number of MTVR Safety ECPs to be procured and installed in FY 2026. The Family of Logistics Vehicle System Replacement (LVSR): $2.986M ($2.734M Active; $0.252M Reserve) Funding supports modified cabs, which increases the corrosion protection performance, preventing dead-lining the vehicles due to corrosion, as well as transfer case sensor safety upgrade to prevent thermal events and protect the occupants and equipment. The funding increase from FY 2025 to FY 2026 is due to the increased number of transfer case sensor safety upgrade ECP kits being procured. Light Tactical Vehicle Modification (LTVM): $3.610M Funding will provide for limited quality deficiency resolutions, technology and material safety issue resolution, and environmental and state transportation mandated vehicle changes. Funding provides support for ECP integration to include changes such as addressing deficiencies and corrosion of the fleet, required to ensure the vehicles are a viable transportation capability for the Fleet Marine Force. The funding increase from FY 2025 to FY 2026 is due to an increase in Engineering Change Orders and integration support to address technology and safety modifications that are required as the platforms age. The Family of P-19 Replacement (P-19R): $6.016M ($4.893M Active; $1.123M Reserve) Funding supports the procurement of ECPs and modernization efforts that contribute to increased operational safety and vehicle resilience. The Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) efforts enhance the capability of vehicle operators to see through fire and smoke, enabling the identification of individuals around or inside burning aircraft or facilities. This improvement significantly enhances safety and augments the ability of firefighters to rescue personnel from fires. Funding will also provide for the replacement and integration of the required Non-Fluorine Foam that meets statutory requirements related to environmental and health considerations. Both enhancements, the FLIR and Non-Fluorine Foam, will enable the vehicles to meet the updated National Fire Protection Association standards. The funding increase from FY 2025 to FY 2026 is attributable to the procurement of modernization and upgrade kits for the Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) systems. The Family of Medium/Heavy Tactical Trailers and Ancillary Equipment (FT&AE): $3.121M ($2.337M Active; $0.784M Reserve) Funding supports the procurement and installation of safety and performance ECPs to modify the Medium and Heavy Tactical Trailer Fleets, including the Palletized Load System Trailer (PLST), M870 (40 & 50 ton trailers), MK1077 (Flatrack), MK970, MK593 6 Ton Cargo Trailer, M149A2 400 Gallon Water Tank Trailer, and Flatrack Refueling Capability (FRC). Many of these trailer systems were procured prior to or separate from the MTVR and LVSR, and do not match the off-road capabilities of those prime movers but can be improved with modification. Funding will also support procuring various ECPs, such as those addressing corrosion and safety changes by incorporating drain holes, corrosion resistant materials, and improved safety chains. The ECPs will address an identified capability gap and represents an alignment with the Commandant's Planning Guidance (CPG) for a more mobile Fleet Marine Force (FMF) with improved reliability. Modifications can span multiple years to outfit a fleet, such as the ECP for the M870, which began in FY 2019 and will take multiple years to complete upgrades to all M870 trailers. The M870 ECP reflects the Marine Corps prioritized modification efforts and addresses ground clearance issues for the M870 Heavy Lift trailer by providing the M870 with improved off-road mobility and increased reliability. The Heavy Trailers ECP is specific to the M870A2-S 40-Ton trailer and the trailer's prime mover, the LVSR. The effort consists of a suspension upgrade ECP for the M870A2-S 40-Ton trailer and a corresponding LVSR controller/connecting link ECP, both of which allow the trailer to operate in an off-road environment with improved reliability. The M870 suspension upgrade ECP renders the trailer capable of operating in off-road environments and includes replacement of the entire trailer suspension system (installation of central tire inflation system, ride height control, replacement of wiring and harnesses, replacement of wheels and axles, and tire replacement) as well as other modifications required to accommodate off-road missions (replacement of rear loading ramps, strengthening of the trailer gooseneck and frame, and replacement of d-rings and equipment tie downs). The corresponding LVSR controller/connecting link ECP allows the prime mover to communicate with and control the systems on the upgraded M870 trailer. The funding decrease from FY 2025 to FY 2026 is primarily due to costs associated with the Heavy Trailer ECP M870 off-road mobility effort.
