The Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) program was a U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps and Special Operations Command competition to select a vehicle to partially replace the Humvee fleet [1] with a family of more survivable vehicles having a greater payload. Early studies for the JLTV program were approved in 2006.
The vehicle also fired Direct Attack Guided Rockets from a pedestal launcher mounted in the bed. The JLTV's ability to integrate these systems would provide troops greater firepower, with the intent being to reduce the need to call for aviation support. [11] Vehicles for the EMD phase were manufactured at BAE Systems' facility in Sealy, Texas.
