Updated June 2, 2021

Background
Accordingto the Army, the JointLight Tactical Vehicle
(JLTV) Family of Vehicles (FoV) is an Army -led,joint-
service programdesigned to replace a portion of each
service's light tacticalwheeled vehicle fleets. The JLTV
FoV consists oftwo variants: the four-seat Combat Tactical
Vehicle (CTV) (Figure 1) and the two-seat Combat
Support Vehicle (CSV) (Figure 2). The CTV is to support
the General Purpose, Heavy Gun Carrier, and Close
Combat Weapon Carrier mis sions. The CSVis to support
the Utility/Shelter Carrier miss ion. The JLTV is
transportable by a range of lift assets, including rotary-wing
aircraft. Its maneuverability enables activities across the
spectrumof terrain, including urban areas, while providing
inherent and supplemental armor against direct fire and
improvised explosive device threats.
Current Program Status
The JLTV is currently being produced by Oshkosh
Defense, headquartered in Oshkosh, WI. In August 2015,
the Army awarded Oshkosh a $6.7 billion low-rate initial
production (LRIP) contractto procure the initial 16,901
vehicles for the Army and Marines. In June2019, the
Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisitions, Logistics,
and Technology) approved Army JLTVfull-rate production
(FRP). The Army plans for a follow-on full-rate production
contract to be awarded to a single vendor in the fourth
quarter of FY2022. It is planned to be a competitive five-
year contract with five one-year options, with an expected
value of$12.3 billion, for about30,000JLTVs and 10,000
JLTV trailers. The Army began fielding LRIPJLTVs to
units in April2019, and Marine Corps units received their
first LRIP JLTVs in February 2019.
Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) is a programmatic
decision made when manufacturing development is completed
and there is an ability to produce a small-quantity set of
articles. It also establishes an initial production base and sets
the stage for a gradual increase in production rate to allow for
Full-Rate Production (FRP) upon completion of Operational
Test and Evaluation (OT&E).
Full-Rate Production (FRP) is a decision made that allows
for government contractingfor economic production
quantities following stabilization of the system design and
validation of the production process.
