The '''Joint Light Tactical Vehicle''' ('''JLTV'''), known and marketed under [[Oshkosh Corporation|Oshkosh]] development as the '''L-ATV''' ('''Light Combat Tactical All-Terrain Vehicle'''), is a light utility/combat multi-role vehicle. The Oshkosh-developed JLTV was selected for acquisition under the [[US military]]'s Army-led [[Joint Light Tactical Vehicle program]]. In the very early stages of the program it was suggested that JLTV would replace the AM General [[High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle]] (HMMWV) on a one-for-one basis. It is now suggested that the JLTV will

== History ==
===Background===
{{
The idea for the [[Joint Light Tactical Vehicle program|Joint Light Tactical Vehicle]] (JLTV) first emerged in 2006 from threats experienced during the [[Iraq War]]. The primary tactical wheeled vehicle used by the [[U.S. military]] at the start of the war was the [[Humvee]]. However, most were unarmored and the type (including armored examples) incurred heavy losses when [[improvised explosive device]]s (IEDs) began being employed by insurgents. The initial response was to add armor, or more armor to armored models, and primarily on the sides. This improved side protection against direct fire and associated threats, but since the chassis was not designed to handle any further additional weight, there was little room for underbody protection. The added armor weight greatly reduced remaining useful payload capacity (within max gross weight), negatively impacted off-road mobility, compromised vehicle reliability, and greatly increased their maintenance needs (frequency, labor and parts costs).
To combat increasing numbers of [[Improvised explosive device|IED]] attacks, the U.S. rapidly procured some 29,000 [[MRAP|Mine Resistant Ambush Protected]] (MRAP) vehicles, including the Oshkosh [[M-ATV]] for use in Iraq and [[War in Afghanistan (2001–present)|Afghanistan]]. While MRAPs offered superior protection from IEDs, especially underbody blasts, they were significantly larger and heavier and had relatively poor off-road mobility. The military incorporated MRAPs in response to operational needs, but never intended them to become a permanent part of their tactical wheeled vehicle fleets. At the conclusion of operations, many thousands were either scrapped, adapted for other roles, or offered for sale/transfer to allies. Ultimately U.S. armed forces would retain over 11,100 MRAPS, just over 6,350 of these Oshkosh M-ATVs.<ref name="Retasking MRAP: Life after Afghanistan">{{cite web |publisher= Jane's IDR|url= https://janes.ihs.com/Janes/Display/1739800|title= Retasking MRAP: Life after Afghanistan |access-date= March 30, 2017}}{{dead link|
Since up-armoring Humvees and buying MRAPs addressed specific issues but created gaps in vehicle capabilities, the JLTV program was started to incorporate lessons learned and balance payload, mobility, and protection into a new vehicle. Its purpose was to restore the mobility commanders had with the original Humvee, while having the side and underbody protection of a basic MRAP. It would be around two-thirds the weight of an MRAP, possible to be carried under a [[CH-47 Chinook]] and [[CH-53E Super Stallion]] and by amphibious vessels, things impossible for an MRAP. It would also be 70 percent faster off-road, adding to survivability by enabling it to [[:wikt:egress|egress]] a combat situation faster. Compared to the Humvee, the JLTV was to have the mobility of early unarmored versions with greater protection than up-armored versions, along with greater reliability, payload capacity, and ease of repair. The JLTV is the first vehicle purpose-built for network connectivity into the [[Warfighter Information Network-Tactical]].<ref name="armytimes25aug15"/><ref name="Oshkosh Beats Lockheed, AM General For Historic JLTV Win">{{cite web |publisher= Breaking Defense|url= http://breakingdefense.com/2015/08/oshkosh-beats-lockheed-am-general-for-historic-jltv-win/|title= Oshkosh Beats Lockheed, AM General For Historic JLTV Win |date= 26 August 2015|access-date= August 26, 2015}}</ref><ref>[http://www.army.mil/article/154497/Oshkosh_wins_contract_to_manufacture_joint_light_tactical_vehicle/ Oshkosh wins contract to manufacture joint light tactical vehicle] – Army.mil, 26 August 2015</ref><ref>[http://www.defenseone.com/technology/2015/08/oshkosh-army-contract-battle-replace-humvee/119480/ Oshkosh Wins $30 Billion Army Contract Battle to Replace Humvee] – Defenseone.com, 25 August 2015</ref><ref>[http://defensesystems.com/Articles/2015/08/27/Army-Oshkosh-Joint-Light-Tactical-Vehicle.aspx?Page=1 Oshkosh grabs huge armored vehicle contract] – Defensesystems.com, 27 August 2015</ref>
===JLTV competition===
The [[Joint Chief of Staff]]'s [[Joint Requirements Oversight Council]] approved the JLTV program in November 2006; this began a 13-month Concept Refinement phase which is a pre-systems acquisition process designed to further develop the initial concepts resident in the Initial Capabilities Document. The Concept Refinement phase also includes an [[Analysis of Alternatives]]. At the conclusion of the Concept Refinement phase in December 2007, the Joint Program Office JLTV project manager intended to transition the program directly into the engineering, manufacturing, and development phase.<ref name="Jane's Logistics, Support & Unmanned 2015–2016 Executive Overview2">{{cite web |date=5 May 2015|title=Executive Overview: Logistics Support and Unmanned |url=https://janes.ihs.com/CustomPages/Janes/DisplayPage.aspx?DocType=Reference&ItemId=+++1508278&Pubabbrev=JLSU|access-date=19 May 2015 |publisher=IHS Jane's Shaun C Connors & Christopher F Foss}}{{dead link|
As the milestone approached, it became clear that the [[Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment]] would not support the JLTV program entering into the acquisition process at that time. He denied the request and instructed the Army and the Marine Corps to develop a more vigorous Technology Development (TD) phase.<ref name="Jane's Logistics, Support & Unmanned 2015–2016 Executive Overview2"/>

Each company delivered 22 vehicles and six trailers to [[Aberdeen Proving Ground]], [[Maryland]], and [[Yuma Proving Ground]], [[Arizona]]. Previous testing had already put the vehicles through more than 400 ballistic and blast tests on armor testing samples, underbody blast testing, and more than 1,000 miles in shakedown testing. Soldiers from the [[Army Test and Evaluation Command]] and personnel from the Defense Department's Office of Test and Evaluation would begin to put the vehicles through field testing during 14 months of government performance testing. Testing was scheduled for completion by [[Fiscal year|FY]]2015, with a production contract to be awarded to a single vendor for almost 55,000 vehicles (49,099 Army; 5,500 Marines). In September 2013, full-pace, full-scope JLTV testing began at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Yuma, and [[Redstone Arsenal]], [[Alabama]].<ref name="Sequestration Threatens Joint Light Tactical Vehicle Acquisition" >{{cite web |publisher= National Defense Magazine |url= http://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/archive/2015/February/Pages/SequestrationThreatensJointLightTacticalVehicleAcquisition.aspx |title= Sequestration Threatens Joint Light Tactical Vehicle Acquisition|author= Yasmin Tadjdeh |access-date= March 19, 2015}}</ref><ref name="Forecast International Sees JLTV Program as a Bright Spot in a Down Market">{{cite press release |publisher= Forecast International |url= http://globenewswire.com/news-release/2015/02/20/708450/10121193/en/Forecast-International-Sees-JLTV-Program-as-a-Bright-Spot-in-a-Down-Market.html|title= Forecast International Sees JLTV Program as a Bright Spot in a Down Market |author= Dean Lockwood |date= 20 February 2015|access-date= March 19, 2015}}</ref><ref name="Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV): Background and Issues for Congress" >{{cite web |publisher= Congressional Research Service |url= http://fas.org/sgp/crs/weapons/RS22942.pdf |title=Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV): Background and Issues for Congress|author= Andrew Feickert |access-date= March 19, 2015}}</ref><ref>[http://www.army.mil/article/110066/Army__Marine_Corps_take_delivery_of_JLTVs_for_user_testing/ "Army, Marine Corps take delivery of JLTVs for user testing"] – Army.mil, 27 August 2013</ref><ref>[http://www.army.mil/article/110710/JLTV_testing_begins__program_on_schedule__budget/ "JLTV testing begins, program on schedule, budget"] – Army.mil, 5 September 2013</ref>

In February 2013, Oshkosh unveiled the Utility Variant of its JLTV offer, fulfilling JLTV's requirement for a two-seat cargo vehicle. The vehicle's performance was demonstrated at the 2013 NATC Technology Rodeo at the Nevada Automotive Test Center (NATC). The Utility Variant is designed to provide mobility for loads such as containers, pallets, and [[break bulk cargo]]. It can also be outfitted as a shelter carrier to carry standard shelters for communications systems, on-board electronics, and other functions. Payload capacity is in excess of 5,100 pounds. Both Oshkosh L-ATV variants have a common crew protection system, automotive systems, and the [[Oshkosh TAK-4 Independent Suspension System|Oshkosh TAK-4i]] intelligent [[independent suspension]] system.<ref name="Oshkosh Defense Unveils L-ATV Utility Variant for JLTV Program">{{cite web |publisher= Oshkosh |url= http://oshkoshdefense.com/news/oshkosh-defense-unveils-l-atv-utility-variant-for-jltv-program/ |title= Oshkosh displays latest JLTV |author= Oshkosh Defense |date= 14 February 2013 |access-date= March 29, 2015}}</ref>
In June 2013, L-ATV prototypes participated in an event hosted by the U.S. JLTV Joint Program Office in Quantico, Virginia.

=== Selection, production and fielding===
In August 2015, the Army selected the Oshkosh L-ATV as the winner of the JLTV competition. The company was awarded a $6.75 billion low-rate initial base contract with two years of low-rate Initial Production (LRIP), originally three, and eight option years to procure the first 16,901 vehicles for both the Army and Marines. The Army initially declined to detail why the L-ATV was chosen over its competitors, likely owing to anticipations of protests from the losing bidders.<ref name="armytimes25aug15"/>
Lockheed Martin protested the award in the Court of Federal Claims, but withdrew it February 2016.<ref>[http://www.dodbuzz.com/2016/02/17/lockheed-withdraws-protest-of-armys-jltv-award/ Lockheed Withdraws Protest of Army's JLTV Award] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160219094651/http://www.dodbuzz.com/2016/02/17/lockheed-withdraws-protest-of-armys-jltv-award/ |date=2016-02-19
The first delivery order for JLTV was announced in March 2016 with the U.S. Army ordering 657 JLTVs, along with kits and support. The $243 million order included vehicles for the Army and Marines.<ref>{{cite web |publisher= IHS Jane's |url= https://janes.ihs.com/Janes/Display/1765572|title= JLTV orders begin after protest dropped|author= Daniel Wasserbly|access-date= 30 March 2016}}{{dead link|
In March 2016, the Pentagon announced that the total program costs had dropped 19.32%, from $30.574 billion to $24.668 billion "due primarily to revised estimates for unit costs of vehicles and kits based on realized savings", which accounted for a $3.7 billion decrease. A stretched out procurement "due to budget adjustments and revised assumptions regarding the maximum buy profile year" decreased costs by $1.28 billion, and several other changes – such as for cost estimation methodologies and indices – accounted for another $921 million decrease.<ref name="Daniel Wasserbly">{{cite web |publisher= IHS Jane's |url= https://janes.ihs.com/Janes/Display/1765906|title= Pentagon: JLTV programme costs decrease |author= Daniel Wasserbly|access-date= 30 March 2016}}{{dead link|
The Pentagon FY2017 requested budget included US$587.5 million to procure 1,828 JLTVs for the Army and US$113.2 million to procure 192 for the Marines.

In terms of contracts and orders, the initial JLTV contract award in summation had a potential value of US$6.749 billion and called for a maximum of 16,901 JLTVs. The second and follow-on sole source to Oshkosh contract allows for 6,262 JLTVs to be ordered by November 2023. In September 2020 a Justification and Approval (J&A) for up to an additional 6,262 JLTVs was granted, the original notice published in June 2020. The up to 6,262 JLTVs approved will technically be delivered under a separate second JLTV contract, but the original contract costings and timelines remain.
