Why Valanx?
Protection. Payload. Performance. These three fundamental tenants inspired BAE Systems and Navistar to name their JLTV the Valanx™.
Valanx evokes the meaning of a phalanx – an ancient Greek formation designed to protect soldiers in combat – but introduces the “V” characteristic. The Valanx has a signature V-shaped hull, designed to deflect a mine blast away from the vehicle, protecting the soldiers inside.
The BAE Systems-Navistar Valanx carries the ethos of the phalanx. Every part of the vehicle was designed, built and engineered with the purpose of ensuring one strong vehicle package – or formation – to give warfighters unmatched battlefield survivability and mission success.
Just as the phalanx protected the ancient Greek soldiers, the Valanx will help shield what’s inside – the service members defending America.
The Valanx incorporates modular plug-and-play design, ensuring unmatched capability today and into the future.
