Performance Tests Begin For JLTV

Aviation Week
By Paul McLeary

The U.S. Army and the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) program office invited journalists to Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., in June, to ride in the three vehicles that are in the running for the lucrative JLTV contract (DTI October 2008, p. 46).

In October 2008, the Army awarded three 27-month technology prototype-development contracts to General Tactical Vehicles—a joint venture between General Dynamics and AM General— BAE Systems and Lockheed Martin.

Lt. Col. Wolfgang Petermann, project manager, says the Army has completed ballistic hull testing of the vehicles and the competition is in the performance-testing phase. Petermann’s office will conduct performance tests at Aberdeen to “provide an assessment of the technical and performance risks,” and at Yuma Proving Ground, Ariz., to gauge the reliability of the models. The Army expects the final procurement contract to be for 60,000 vehicles.
